I was just wondering if there was a way for an airtable form submission to be edit-able. It’s annoying how everytime a form is submitted it shows up as a new entry when someone perhaps wants to go back and revise an existing form entry. I know Google forms has this. Is there any way for Airtable to do this?

Is there a way to sort the records randomly (not alphabetically)? Say I have a table of students and I want them to be randomly ordered for a presentation or something?

hello - i created a button field that triggers an email via sendgrid integration. while this functionality is possible as a creator/internal user, it is not possible (i.e., button not clickable) when a shared view is generated and viewed as a non-internal user. is there a way to allow non-internal users who view the shared view to click the button to generate the email?

I have three tables - deals, project, and a join table that connects deals and project. The deals table is connected to the project table through a linked field, creating a 1:1 relationship. I am trying to link the join table to the project table based on the linked field in the deals table. I am using the Airtable ID for the linked record from the deals table and inputting it into the "link to project" field in the join table, but I am encountering an error."Error: Field "fldxxxxxxxxx" cannot accept the provided value: invalid item in array cell: foreign record is invalid: foreignTableId is incorrect."I'm getting the correct id for projectID field as I've double checked but still it is not getting linked to the "Link to projects" field. Please do let me know if more detail is required or if anyone has any solution to this?

Hi folks. I’m trying to create a way to allow a member of our team to edit a shared view, and I’ve reached a snag. Here’s what I’ve done so far: Created a synced table in a new database using the data from the shared view Added 3 new columns in the new table for adding information to individual records Created an automation in the new table that makes a new row in a google sheet every time a particular column meets a condition All that works. And here’s where I’m snagged: Creating an automation in the original database that updates the changed record whenever a new row is added to the google sheet - BUT: When I use the Record ID from the new synced table, it doesn’t match the Record ID of the original table, so I get a “record doesn’t exist” error When I use one of the other field values from the new google sheet row to identify the record, I get an “Received invalid inputs” error. SO - how do I get the original base to recognize the equivalent record in the synced base? What’s t

I have an automation that emails a list of people every time a record is created and within that email is a formula field that concatenates a date with several other fields but the problem is in all the emails the date and time is always 7 hours ahead. How do I make it so it sends only in pacific standard time? 

HI GuysI was very specific in the question subject for a reason that anyone reading this will nod, say "oh, that" and cry into a coffee. Im at the final step of a looooong loop of data, and I need to now put multiple public attachments into a single attachment field in Airtable. I cant use Make for this, has to be Zapier. And i need to turn a simple array into a complex array so that the attachment field doesnt overwrite.Also, a huge thank you to @scottsworld for giving me a lot of the knowledge that got me this far without jumping off a cliffAnyone know how to do this? I have the public URL's (that was another adventure) and the data, now I just need to make it work. Picture tax - a cat, searching a map. This work we are doing is for a cat charity and you all like cats. I mean, who doesnt .

I have a CRM database with a table called Companies. These Companies have columns that are linked to different tables called Country and Sector. I would like to create a new table, a Market Matrix of sorts, that automatically rolls up the companies in Country A + Sector B, which would also include notes and different properties on the country/sector in question. What is the best way to accomplish this? Thank you in advance! I'm relatively new to this so any help most appreciated. 

I have created automation when the condition matches  and assigned to person "A" then it should email person "A"In the same automation, I would like to add another condition whereas if assigned person is "B" then it should email person "B" only.

I am looking to take a field that has a total amount of seconds and have it formulate into a duration.E.g. My "seconds" field set as 210 would populate in my formula field as 00:03:30:000.Does anyone have a formula solution for this?

Hi! I have a grid view with two columns, Start Date and End Date, that I have been manually updating to curate a calendar. I have started tying some of these line items together through the new Predecessor features, and since then have encountered a major issue where Airtable will automatically update dates to 0000 and 4049 in my Start Date and End Date columns. Help!

Looking for someone who can support me with a quick consult for my non profit, Modern States Education Alliance.My imported data table has over 9000 institutions ("School Name") with their CLEP Score and Credit Information By Exam. I was able to create an interface to filter by School Name and then display all of the Scores and Credit by Exam in two columns. I also created a Form to understand If a schoolAccepts CLEP credit,How much they charge to transcript the credit,How many credits they accepted,How simple this process was.Our goal at Modern States is to make college more affordable and accessible to everyone. This interface will serve as a space for our learners to share their journey and provide an updated CLEP by credit search. At the moment the College Board and individual schools do not maintain current records of the college credit by examination and it's an issue for learners trying to transfer credit.Here This what I am looking for: Interface>School Name>Grid>Sourc

I have a date+time and a duration (days: hours: minutes). I want to add a day:hour:minute duration to the date+time and output a new date+time. Issues I've encountered:1. I can only set a duration field to be day OR hours/minutes/seconds. 2. When attempting to create a formula to add a "Day" duration field to a "Hour" duration field the output is incorrect. For example I have a Day Duration field with "1" and in the Hour duration field I have 00:05. I triedDATEADD({Next Output Days},{Next Output HH:SS},'seconds')   Results in #ERROR!SUM({Next Output Days}+{Next Output HH:SS})   Results in 301?I'd be fine with a result of the total seconds of the day + hours/minutes to use for my final formula but I can't seem to combine the day duration field and the hour/minute duration field into anything useable. I just want to recreate the function of this form under "Add or subtract time from a date" https://www.calculator.

Hey guys!! So I am doing a project, and a need an airtable with the name of a restaurant and the position of it (in coordinates), I will use an API to extract my data from my airtable, but I need it to be in GEOJSON. Do I use the map app? How can I do this? Thank you guys!!

Is there any way to display the Button field only if the URL field it references has data? So if {resource link} is null, don't display anything. We have some users who are confused when the button doesn't work (not all the records will have a resource link). These are views which are shared publicly and not Airtable users. Thanks!

In a gallery view interface, each record has one pdf file attachment hosted in Airtable. Airtable has two "stock" buttons for downloading the file.1. How can I track how many times each file is downloaded using the "stock" download buttons?2. Can I see which users are downloading which files? 3. Can I track which gallery tiles are being clicked on?4. Can I track what the most popular search terms are?5. If Airtable cannot provide the tracking, can GA4?

Hi everybody.My issue is the following: I have a make.com workflow in which I search for airtable records with which to perform certain actions, but it's not returning the expected result. Here's the formula I added to the airtable module in make.com:AND(DATETIME_FORMAT({var1} , "DD.MM.YYYY") <= DATETIME_FORMAT(NOW(),"DD.MM.YYYY"), {var2}, DATETIME_FORMAT({var2} , "DD.MM.YYYY") <= DATETIME_FORMAT(NOW(),"DD.MM.YYYY"), {var3}, {var3} != "N/A", {var4} != "Text", {var5}, {var6} = 0, {var7} = 0, {var8} = 0, {var9} = 1)I narrowed it down to var2 not returning the result I expect. So if var2 is "31.07.2024" and today is "01.08.2024", I get a 0, meaning Airtable is not the same opinion that yesterday is "smaller" than today. The strangest behavior. Does anyone have some advice?
