I’m clicking and holding on a field to move the fields into a different order on my interface but it won’t move.

Hello, I am wondering if I stumbled upon a bug, or if this is a setup error or limitation of some kind: I have a dashboard interface with a pivot table, and while it looks great on desktop, it shows up on the mobile view, but missing some key elements - the labels for all columns and rows display as “(Empty)” even though on desktop those values show up just fine. Any ideas why that is?  My only guess is that maybe it’s because the fields I’ve chosen are not supported somehow? I’m using a lookup of a single-select value, maybe that’s the issue? Any ideas or fixes welcome. Thanks so much!  

Is anyone else having this experience? The new UI (besides for being a steep learning curve) is loading base and interfaces really slowly???Best part of AT was the instant response….

Dear Airtable Community,I am refining a project management base, established in June 2025, to streamline task tracking for a small marketing team using Airtable’s Professional plan. While the base effectively organizes tasks, I seek to optimize automations to sync status updates across linked tables efficiently. Your expertise in this area would be greatly valued.My base comprises three tables: “Projects,” “Tasks,” and “Team Members,” structured per the Airtable project management template (https://www.airtable.com/templates/). The “Tasks” table links to “Projects” and “Team Members” via linked record fields, tracking approximately 200 tasks for 10 projects and 5 team members.I configured an automation in the Airtable Automations panel to update a task’s status in the “Projects” table when its corresponding record in “Tasks” changes to “Completed.” The automation uses a “When a record is updated” trigger and an “Update record” action, referencing the linked project record.However, duri

Hi, can someone please help with my formula? I’d like to calculate the number of days between two dates, but if the dates are the same then they should display 0. The formula below works to show the ones with the same date as 0, however it then shows the ones with different dates as being one figure too little. DATETIME_DIFF(  {Post Sale Date},  {Auction Date/Time (Local)},  'days') To fix this I added +1 to the formula, which of course, solves the latter issue but not the issue for same dates need to show 0. DATETIME_DIFF(  {Post Sale Date},  {Auction Date/Time (Local)},  'days') +1 Can someone please assist 😊

 This is an Opt-in / Reference Check form:https://airtable.com/appDms8x0QIhxU2F5/pagg3esZJjn6ytUSK/form For some reason, its no longer clickable.. you can’t type on any field. I already made a dupe and its still the same. I tried to revert to yesterday’s version and the old form worked. But Im trying to find out the difference on the settings and visibility, there’s no difference. Im just confused.. another problem is that we sent out this form to plenty of people already that doesnt work.. Can anyone help me please?

Hi - I am trying to create a field with unique hyperlinks that can be used in an interface (we don’t want a button or field that has a static name for every record).I want to use the {link to content} field for the URL, and the {content title} for the display.I am having trouble figuring this out, but I am sure there is a way to do it.I would appreciate any help.Thanks!

Are there any airtable builders based in the UK.  I need to find someone registered here to qualify for funding for my project which is a client facing portal.  Thanks 

Hi all, this might sound trivial but we are having an issue with Airtable opening on an old base instead of our newest one.  The old base is called Jan 2025 and the newest one, which we are working from, is June 2025. Previously, whichever base we closed the app, logged out or closed the browser on, was the same base Airtable opened on next time.Since creating the June 2025 base, Airtable always opens on the old Jan 2025 base. It’s happening for each user who logs in so it’s a universal thing. We’ve deleted the cookies, logged out properly, logged in again but no joy.I’ve tried searching but can’t find an answer. Any ideas please anyone?

I'm working with a database structure that has three tables: Publications, Artworks, and Individuals. I'm running into an issue with a Rollup field and hoping someone can help me find a solution.My Table Structure:Artworks table: Has a field that references one or more Individuals Publications table: Has a field that references one or more Artworks Publications table: I want to create a Rollup field that shows all Individuals associated with the Artworks in each PublicationThe Problem:When I use a Rollup field with an ARRAYUNIQUE() formula to get the individuals associated with the artworks, I'm getting unexpected results.For example, if a Publication contains 10 Artworks, and each Artwork has 1, 2, or 3 associated Individuals (sometimes different ones), the Rollup field returns each combination of individuals rather than each individual individually.What I Want:I want the Rollup to return each unique Individual associated with any of the Artworks in the Publication, not the combinatio

Hi! I have some pivots in Excel that I’m attempting to re-create in Airtable. It has multi-level categories in the rows (Region, Country) and then 4 different metrics that I convert to a %. (In Progress, Successfully Completed, Previous Week Successfully Completed, and Increase Amount) I have all of the line-detailed data that you’d need to get this in Excel (Record ID, Region, Country, and binary 1/0 for In Progress, Successfully Completed, Previous Week Successfully Completed, and Increase Amount.)  I cannot for the life of me figure out how to replicate this in Airtable and then add it to an interface. The closest I’ve been able to get is a grouped view of the data that I show as a grid and then removing the “0”s and changing the values of those metrics to be % Filled. This is almost fine, but it doesn’t stay grouped and expands too much. Is there a better way to do this?  

Hi! Does anyone know a trick about how to get the email of a user, that filled a form with a “Restrict access to an email domain” activated? When this feature is on, the user must sign up and login into AirTable to fill the form. If the user’s email domain belongs to the one accepted at the form settings, then he can view the form, fill and submit it. So my question is: since the user have just signed up and login, is there a way we can save the email address used, inside the created record? Thank community!

Hi all, I already know Airtable doesnt allow you to share interfaces with non-users (not a good move, Airtable!) but i'm trying to not give up on the beautiful dashboards i made.Other than taking a screenshot, are there any extensions/third-party tools that i can use to share my dashboards with others that are not on Airtable? We want to share it with our board, funders, etc.

Can anyone explain what this error message means? “Field cannot accept the provided value: Could not find matching rows for string.” Trying to fill a linked column with an automation, however, sometimes there is no information to fill.

I have been looking everywhere for this answer and I swear I have watched 100 Youtube videos to no avail. Hoping someone on here can help me :)I currently have a “projects” table and a “tasks” table in my base. The projects table is configured so when I add a task to that project it adds it in the tasks table to be tracked. However, if I add that same task to multiple projects it tracks it in the tasks table as one record. Therefore, I can’t individually track the same tasks for several projects. Basically, I want to select the same tasks for several projects and then track those tasks separately. Example:Project A tasks:-solicit bids (complete)-draft contract (in process)-hire sub (on hold)Project B tasks: -solicit bids (in process)-draft contract (on hold)-hire sub (on hold) Thank you so much in advance!! I really appreciate any help that can be provided. This seems so simple but I just can’t figure it out.

A quick question - I have a KanBan view, with a ‘Month’ field as the stacking field: JAN 24, Feb 24, Mar 24 …. etc.I want to be able to filter down my Kanban view, to just show recent activity, eg) 2025, but filtering the corresponding records for the view leaves the empty stacks in place. I know I can use the ‘hide empty stacks’ toggle, but it will hide any recent, relevant empty month stacks that I may want to use, and not just those in the past (2024, etc.) Any ideas?

Does anyone know how to get Airtable to go back to a previous look.  The new look with the status bar on the left has made airtable more difficult to work with.  Left Bar down the entire window instead of across the top.  

I’m creating an extension here. Often times I want to send record from extension to my backend api. My backend already supports the json serialized format returned by get records api. It would be very helpful if there is a method to convert record object in blocks sdk to that format. Or is there already a way for that?Thanks

Trying to build an automation where an email is sent when a record enters a view (specified by a month status). The record contains a previously uplodaded file (pdf). Up to that point I’m able to make the email automation work, but when trying to add a last “update record” step (so that the record is updated after the email has been sent out, by having its status changed/updated) I get an error. Seems as if Airtable wont be capable of updating the record  “status field”  because the record contains an attachment. Trying to work a solution that will allow me to keep using the product. I have a paid version.  

Hello, I have a main base and several project bases that have a two-way sync with this main base. In these project bases, I receive data from my main base, but also have columns specific to these project which are freely editable by the teams.I would like my columns from the main base (the sync one) to be in editor access to the teams (values are editable, but not the column), and the non-sync columns to be in creator access to the teams. How can I do that ? Thanks !Agnès  

I am perplexed by the labeling in Airtable Calendars.  In the attached screen grab, I have two projects in a single calendar, separated by color.  Great. However, it does not show the label of the fields I have associated with dates, even though it seems like there is ample room. So great, let me enable the labels I want.  Except it doesn’t show the labels, it shows the date, but instead of just including the date on the specific entry, it puts it on ALL entries.  Very perplexing.  Why would I want to show the date of one entry on a completely different entry that falls on a different date? This makes no sense and can not imagine a case where this would be useful.  Why won’t just show me the label that is already there on a specific date? Is there away to show the whole label on a given entry? In both the Interface and Calendar view I see this and can see know way to show the entire label.

When using a form, I want to offer specific choices for students to choose from, but I also want to offer them to option to fill in some option that we haven’t thought of. (As in, “how did you hear about us? Internet search, friend, Facebook, other- tell us how”) Thanks Linda

Is there a script that can initiate printing of a record designed in the printing extension from an interface? As in, Print This Record?
