Hi,I'm afraid I couldn't find the correct Airtable documentation on this, please point me in the direction if there ready help somewhere.In an automation I have a conditional logic step. In that I have two conditions to be be met. One is a "type" kind of single select field, which translates to "Mini Day" in this case. This works.The other condition tries to look for text in a rollup field. Here is the problem, I can't get it to work and can't figure out how 'contain' works. In the preview field I can see the text I'm looking for, eg "Digi-Gold", but it doesn't work when tested.Here's a screenshot of the view:I also tried other text strings ('perusmaksu' and 'sessio') but nothing I tried works.What are requisites for "contain" to work? How does it work? Can I use use one condition to find several text strings, e.g. "sessio OR gold"?

Yesterday I was all of a sudden able to access interfaces from my ipad. This morning I saw an email confirming the feature. But when I went back in this morning the interfaces were gone. Can someone help here?

Hello everyone, In Germany, there is a regulation in the Occupational Health and Safety Act that states workers who work on Sunday or on holidays receive an additional allowance on their salary. This involves a complex formula, which even ChatGPT struggles with. Maybe there is someone here who is smarter than AI.My table includes a date field including time field named {Start} and a date field including time field named {End}. I want:1. Formula field = formula that calculates the hours/minutes that fall within the period of Sunday.Example : Max starts his shift at saturday 8 PM and works until Sunday 4 AM. The formula should now calculate 4 hours.2. Formula field = formula that calculates the hours/minutes that fall within the period of holidays. The holiday dates should be defined in the forumla itselfs = ( 01.01.2024 / 29.03.2024 / 01.04.2024 / 01.05.2024 / 09.05.2024 / 20.05.2024 / 03.10.2024 / 25.12.2

Hi !I'm new to Airtable and I created a base to help me manage some operations for a car rental company that operates in 2 cities.I have 3 tables with the same single select field (City : A or B) The tables are : Cars, drivers and Missions.The Missions table contains several fields including the city (A or B) and linked records fields to the Cars table and to the drivers table.What I want is In the Missions Table, when I select a city (city A) and then I want to choose the car, it only displays in the list the cars that also have the same city (A) in its single select field for the city, and also for the drivers to diplay only the ones in the same city (A).I don't want to create 2 different tables (one for city A and another for city B) and link the records to views in the cars and drivers tables.Is there a straightforward way to do it without changing the structure of the table ?

Hi! I created an Airtable to help plan my wedding. I have a table that's for Guests and in this table I have fields for their first and last name and their title (Mr., Mrs., etc.). I created a field that adds all of these fields to create their formal name on the invitation envelope. Right now the formula reads: Title & " " & {First Name} & " " & {Last Name} & " " & "&" & " " & {Guest Name (from Relationship)}  Here's where the problem comes in, for my single guests it puts the "&" after their name, for example, "Mr. John Smith

Is there a way to disable download button that appears below images in gallery view? I have attached screenshot.

Hi there, I'm looking to bulk create a handful of training sessions based off an initial kickoff date. I have a table of training sessions and a template table with an offset from the first session. Most trainings run on a regular basis, but sometimes we need to reschedule. For this reason, I need the result to be a normal, editable field (not a formula I can't touch). I am using automations to create the number of sessions I need. I also have an automation to populate the first training session based on a value on another table that will be entered manually. I can't figure out how to populate the subsequent dates for sessions based off an offset. I tried a DATEADD() formula to sum my duration field (the offset) with the original date, but that didn't work. In plain English, if session 1 is today, session 2 will be next week in the same time and place, session 3 will be 2 weeks from today, etc. Any ideas? I a

Hi all,Is there a way to view a breakdown of automation runs by time period (e.g. billing period) and more importantly by base > automation?I want to bring my run numbers down (so I don' have to upgrade) but it's not easy to see which automations are eating into my quota. I know I can see number of automation runs in total per workspace, for the current cycle, but need more detail than this.Thanks! 

Hi all!I'm using an interface to create and update records and allowed to create a new record. My team has been using it for a while and love it, but suddenly the "submit" button disappeared and they can no longer create a record through this interface. It's showing as "deleted field" but it was never a field (it was the setting to allow for creation of the record) in the table and i didn't delete anything... I'm going crazy- how do i fix this? (see attached picture)

I want to create a cash flow table for a month, where the beginning of the month balance automatically or with the help of a formula gets data from the end-of-month balance of the previous month.Manually entered at the beginning of January "beginning of the month", all the rest is automatic.And so on for all months.I have tried to do this with a formula, but unfortunately with no success.I need your help 🙂

ContextI'm putting together a volunteer sign up sheet (an Interface). The sheet goes live at a specific time, and people will be waiting by their computers so they can get the more desirable shifts. Once a shift is assigned, it no longer appears on the sheet (it is removed from the View underlying the Interface). However, it's not immediate. This means multiple people can click a shift's "Pick Shift" button before the record is removed from the view and button inaccessible.I need the first person to click the button — or at least the first click we hear about because of latency — to be the one who gets the shift. (This would be trivial in SQL, including in Supabase on which Airtable is built, but, alas…).Believe-it-or-not, I figured out how to do this (or at least get extremely close) with a Script in an automation. It's low-key bonkers, but it works! The problem I'm hitting now is how to notify the correct winner.The setup: My schema (simplified)

I have a database with two tables “gifts” and “status”. I'd like to use a button to update the status automatically via a script. I searched the documentation and the forum, but I couldn't find any solution to adapt the script to my problem. Here's the code I've already added, and the options I've explored.This is my code :// Récupère la table Cadeaux let tableCadeaux = base.getTable("🎁 Cadeaux"); console.log(tableCadeaux); //Récupère le champo statuts de la table Cadeaux let statut = tableCadeaux.getField("✅ Statuts"); console.log(statut); // Récupère le record.id de la table Cadeaux let queryResult = await tableCadeaux.selectRecordsAsync({fields: []}); let record = queryResult.records[0]; console.log(record.id); // Récupère la table Statuts let tableStatuts = base.getTable("✅ Statuts"); console.log(tableStatuts); let newRecordIdToLink = '🎁 Réservé'; tableCadeaux.updateRecordAsync(record, { "✅ Statuts"

I have 3 tables - Gift Hamper, Products, BOM Gift hamper - has list of gift hamper ids/namesProducts - have list of productsIn BOM we assign products & quantity to Gift Hamper (one gift hamper can have multiple products)While linking a product in BOM, I would like to see some values from Product columns (eg stock available). I would like to do this in grid format & not add each row individually using form.How do I do so? 

Hi there,I am new to using automations and hopeful this is something I'm just overlooking. I'm having trouble with an automation for a "Shift Reminder" SMS.Goal is:1. At a Trigger time find records with a Start Date of "day after" trigger2. Send SMS to associated cell numbers with each trigger to remind of shiftI have no issues if there is only one record returned. The SMS goes through without issue. If there is a second record returned the first record SMS goes through but the second record SMS is ignored.Would be so appreciative of any help! Thanks!  

Hey Hey, Would anyone happen to know if it's possible to embed a MathJax rendering into an airtable interface? The idea is that the rendered displays the text of math expressions or equations when that text is wrapped in $$ $$. 

Hello,I would like to know if there is a way to automatically use the same colors for single select and multi select options for cohesion and ease of viewing.For example:1. If I have a survey, all Yes/No questions will automatically make 'Yes' chips green and 'No' chips red.2. If I have several multi-select questions with answer options 'Strongly agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly disagree' I can Strongly agree - color green, Agree - pale green,  Disagree - orange,  Strongly disagree - Red Thanks! 

Here the working script extension: // Create script output descriptionoutput.markdown( "# Stores with 2+ WO in 30 days" ); // Set Tableconst woTable1 = base.getTable( "BR_Details" ) // Set Viewconst woView1 = woTable1.getView( 'Stores with 2+ WO in 30 days' )

Hi, What I would like to do is simple : When I update a record in table "Participations", I want to check if this record is the earliest (in term of date) record linked to a specific company. If it is, in single select field "Participation active?" select automatically value "active".How would you do that? I have trouble adding the condition of selecting the record with the earliest date among records linked to the same company. Thank you, Have a nice day, Arthur

Hi allI am setting up my product SKUs and need some help to ensure that external users will find matches when searching on front end.I have the following fields; Product SKU IDWidthThicknessGradeConditionTreatmentProfileLength Product Description (all these together)Product Category (for filtering purposes when buyer searching for products) I want all these to be filters so that buyers can search to find results representative of the fields.I want results to appear if I'm searching under Product Description for products in different formats (e.g. searching by Grade before Width) or including/excluding spaces (e.g. 50x25 vs 50 x 25). -Please advise how I can make this happen and if needs to be seperate tables for each filter (e.g. one table for width, one for thickness etc) or if I should have all these filters in one table with multiple fi

I am currently in the process of using Airtable to build a new shipping schedule. I have grid view set up so it is grouped by delivery date because it is very important for management to be able to quickly see how many pools are scheduled to ship out on any given day. The problem is that when an order is canceled, it still appears in the count. Is there any way to exclude certain records from being included in that count? Thank you.

Thanks in advance everyone - Tried searching but couldn't find anything recent/relevant Currently we are using email automations to conditionally send first articles to our customers to approve, which works - but I'd like a more elegant solution. In an ideal situation, once a record matches certain conditions, it sends a form (interface or other) pulling the image from our base, and the customer can use a check box / comment section to send approval back to us - and updates our records with the checkbox selected and or comments sent.Thanks again - If I missed anything in my search, another advanced thank you for pointing me in the right direction.                                                                   

Hi all,The Utilization function is pretty great for visualising workloads and capacity, but when adding in the 'Time Off' part of the tool, I'm struggling to get exactly what I'd like.My Capacity planner is a timeline view of tasks grouped by team with all team members' capacity rolled up to the team level. This is great as I can see an entire Team's capacity when adding in new jobs.  However when I assign time off into the 'Account for time off' section it just blocks out the entire team as PTO for those dates on the planner. I don't think it can just subtract member X's time off from the total team capacity. Does the Account for time off functionality only really work when you are viewing capacity at the Team member level?Any ideas much appreciated!

I saw this video on using air table for schools, and tried to copy the design she talked through at the end - but since it was all in groups and I am pretty new to air table, I couldn't get the automations to work, or see how the grade and assignment tables were actually set up.Does anyone have a base design for recording assignments and grades for students - something where once the assignment is created student record lines are automatically created for the students in that assignment's class  in the grades table for scoring data to just be added?This is the podcast I watched and really failed to imitate - https://www.youtube.com/live/Z3vdf9INifY from 46 minutes onwards. 

I have the following TS code (using the Airtable REST API) export const updateInstanceQRCode = (instanceId: string, qrCodeUrl: string) => { return base('Instance').update([ { "id": instanceId, "fields": { "QR Code": [{ "url": qrCodeUrl }] }, }, ]); } which works great when I am testing in development, but the moment I try to build the project, I get the following error: > tsc -b && vite build src/externalAPI/AirtableClient.tsx:127:21 - error TS2739: Type '{ url: string; }' is missing the following properties from type 'Attachment': id, filename, size, type 127 "QR Code": [{ ~ 128 "url": qrCodeUrl ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 129 }] ~~~~~~~~~ Found 1 error. In my package.json, I'm using the following version of the official airtable module:&n
