Hello!I am just starting out with AirTable and I am trying to create an automation that when an item is moved to the status "Backorder" (this should happen when the field "B/O Qty" is greater than 0) in my "Open Orders" project, it is then duplicated into another project called "Backorder Clip". Once the order status is not "Backorder" anymore (or the B/O Qty goes to 0), it should be deleted from the "Backorder Clip" project and moved to the "Not Started" status in my "Open Orders" project. I can't seem to figure out exactly how to achieve this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hello Airtable Community,I'm currently working on an exciting project using Softr, where I'm creating a ranking system for athletes. Each athlete is assigned a unique score based on their performance in various exercises, and this score is then used to sort the athletes in Airtable.I have connected it already with tables in Softr and sorting based on that score gives me the result I wanted, but I would like also to display what's their position: 1st, 2nd … etc.Do you have any how to write a formula which will give me thei exact position on the leaderboard?Best regards,Konrad

Hi All,I am trying to restrict which people can be chosen from a dropdown list of people for a user signin/out system. The way the system is designed is such that each group leader can view everyone in their group and none of the other users in the system. A medic can view everyone with limited information and an organizer can view all information for all people.I have created a signin/out table to allow each user to sign in a person, however when selecting a person from the drop down list they are able to see all people, not just the people in their group. Is it possible to restrict which users they are able to select from to be limited to their group. An example can be seen belowI would like to make it so that the user can only see the entries shown below, limited to their group Is this something which is possible? Cheers,Brett

HiI have a formula that compares a rollup to a text field and then returns any new additions to the rollup. However it seems to be returning an extra character, could anyone help me figure it out please?From this:'Nelson Dance Festival- 2024, Royal Tunbridge Wells Dance Festival- 2024, Blackburn Festival of Dance- 2024, Dudley Festival- 2024'I would like it to return 'Dudley Festival- 2024'But I'm getting '4, Dudley Festival- 2024'The formula is this:IF(LEN(ARRAYJOIN({Rollup Festivals Entered},", "))-LEN({Static Festivals Entered})>0,RIGHT(ARRAYJOIN({Rollup Festivals Entered}),(LEN(ARRAYJOIN({Rollup Festivals Entered},", "))-LEN({Static Festivals Entered})))) What am I missing? 

Automation set up was.Step 1: When a record matches a condition.Step 2: It will update a field which is the "Client Portfolio Record" (this is a linked to another record field to a view called Client Portfolio)This automation was just working fine before, but there was a change happened on the default column in "Client Portfolio view" which caused the issue. If you suggest putting it back to the normal setup, I can't because the default column in "Client Portfolio View" which is the "Portfolio Title" should be in formula type now. It should also remain as default column.  Is there any way to update this automation even if the Portfolio Title is still a computed field?

Hi,I'm getting this error when trying to append to a linked field. The code in question is: ModelRange.updateRecordAsync(record, {'Models List': [...record.getCellValue('Models List'),{id : BMRecord[0]}]}); I'm pretty sure that 'record' is indeed a record object, as it's obtained from  let query = await ModelRange.selectRecordsAsync(); let record = query.getRecord(another[0]); where another[0] is a record ID. Let me know if the rest of my code is needed to diagnose the error, although I can imagine that I'm missing something obvious.Thank you!

I am building a schedule/time management base where employees can show their interests for shifts by adding their names to a (multiple select) shift calendar. Employees are unionized and have to be prioritized by the lowest monthly hours given and seniority order. The issue i have is the names are sorted by whom added their names first to the shift interest multiple select column. How can this box by sorted by 'lowest hours, seniority' instead.... OR could i get airtable to suggest the right employee from the list of avaiable employees on a shift?

I have a formula field that calculates a value (results a number) based on a lookup field (e.g. a date). When the lookup field is empty due to a missing input, formula field results with a NaN or ERROR.In that case, I want to highlight RED color to that record so operators understand that they should fix the missing input. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to enter a color condition statement such as "WHEN formula field IS ERROR, SET COLOR red".Is there a solution for this? @dashler78 

We have connected our event registration from Wordpress to an Airtable table through Zapier and it was working for a while until it started glitching.. After a while we only started seeing part of the registrants, while the other part is not showing in the table, although we see it in Wordpress. We tested it out and got this screenshot.. The test go through as not an issue while this keeps appearing and we keep getting notification emails that something went wrong. Thanks everyone

Hey everyone,Running into a bit of a puzzle here. I'm managing our subscribers table and a CRM for member benefits. Both are on separate platforms, not even in the same database. Wondering if anyone has experience with a double synchronization setup between two tables on different platforms? Is that even doable?Would love to hear your insights and tips if you've tackled something similar.On a different note, www.startupbenefits.eu – offers some pretty neat resources like $750K in perks, investor databases, pitch decks, legal templates, and more. Might be worth a look if you're in the startup game.

Since the new Personal Tokens (No API Keys) i cannot connect my airtable to typeform. Does someone has a solution for this? The extension also does not work for my case, as i have an Opinion Scale, which i cannot map. Thanks for your help!

Hello Airtable Community!I'm currently working on implementing a dynamic ranking system for my gaming challenge, and I'd love some guidance on using Airtable for this purpose.Project Overview:I want to create a fluctuating Rank Rating like Elo/MMR in competitives video games.. For the sake of clarity lets call this player rating unit RP for Rating points.  RP are based on player performance (each new player start at 1000 RP).Each rank, like Challenger, Gold, etc., would have a specific RP range (e.g., Challenger: 2500 RP to 3000 RP).Key Components:Ranking Points (RP): A dynamic elo system that adjusts with player performance.Ranking System: Each rank defined by a specific RP range.Specific Questions:How can I set up a dynamic RP system that adjusts with player performance?Is there a recommended approach to automatically assign ranks based on RP ranges in Airtable?What formula or automation can I use to ensure a player's rank changes automatically when their RP fluctuates?I've atte

Designing a Form in which I need a user to be able to select an Item from dropdown menu representing a Linked Record field, and then be shown what that Item looks like via Lookup of an Attachment field in the linked table, I’m shown an alert: “This field is read-only and won’t be displayed in the form”. The use case is straightforward though, and high-value: Forms that can allow user to see what to vote for. It’s available in rival products. When can I expect it in Airtable Forms?

I have a button that I would like to trigger two tasks: 1 - trigger a webhook that passed the data to zapier (done) 2 - automatically update the value of a single select field to ‘true’ While the webhook script runs when I click the button, it seems that the other script I am using (to update the single-select) wants to take in a user input every time and it does not run automatically. Is there a simple way to set the value of a single-select field automatically to true without me having to specific the field and the value every time with a script?

Hello!Adding an entry to calendar view automatically set the time to midnight. Is there a way to change the default time to anything other than midnight?! Thanks!

Is there any plan to encourage developers to build more apps and write more scripts to marketplace? From the conversation I saw in the forum, getting your apps approved is so difficult and long. I feel Airtable now lacks vibrancy and enthusiasm of other tools (monday.com or coda.io).

Hello, I am seeking to pull a record that would have an image and then a few fields under the image from the same record and then repeat for all records in a filter. The custom text and layout fields of the page designer as well as being able to export make it quite desirable for this but I’m having issues getting the records to populate in this manner. The gallery view provides most of what I need as it gives me multiple records (of which I can filter by field) but the limitations on styling keep it from being an answer to my issue. The screen shot is of a gallery view, the first image/ record is laid out in the manner I’m seeking, and the second is the gallery view unchanged. Any assistance would be great.

Hi 👋 I'm not an expert with formulas, but I think I'm overthinking this / making it more complicated than it needs to be.I have a CSAT (customer satisfaction score) form in Typeform that is being automatically sent to Airtable. What I'm trying to do is:a) calculate the CSAT score (# of 4/5 star ratings, divided by # of total responses, multiplied by 100)b) have it calculated every calendar week (so there should be a new rating every Monday)I can do this manually for now, but I want a way that each week, people can look and see what the score is, without anyone having to manually calculate it.I'm totally lost, although I think I am overthinking this. Any ideas? &#x1f605I've attached screenshots of the set-up currently. We have two sources for the feedback form, so there's one table for each of those.Then I have the 'Score' table, which has 5 records, one for each rating (1-5 stars), plus another one for 'TOTAL' which I added in my efforts to calculate the score (it can be d

Hi, Am I missing this option, or do I need to submit a feature request? I have a Table called Statuses, which I use on multiple tables and multiple fields so that I don’t have to setup a single select 20+ times. When I make a new record, any fields linked to Statuses should default to “0-Not Started” record form Statuses. Is there an option I am missing to set the default linked field?

I am trying to create an automation that sends an email or a slack notification when a record matches conditions when X is one month from now. However, I received the following message. I have included two screens shots (a) the trigger and (b) the table and conditions chosen. Can anyone advise me to how to fix this issue?  

I am using Integromat to pick up a webhook sent from Airtable. I want to then whitelist the Airtable IP addresses How to know the IP of my airtable account - #2 by Bill.French ← question was asked here, but not answered (a re-open might be a good option so we can re-open questions). To answer some of the questions in that original post: I understand this is not a cure-all security method, it does provide one more layer of protection. Yes, a webhook is my preferred method of sending data from Airtable in this instance as this webhook works across a number of services - so it is not a read Airtable first scenario. Thanks

Hello,Want to strike through text in a cell if a given string is found in another cell in that row.  Is this possible?The cell whose text I want to strike through is already a concatenation of various other field values.  It's looking in a different field for the term "OMIT", and if that is found I'd like the text strike-through'd.The "OMIT" will be searched for in a single select field, but I don't think that matters since I've already successfully searched for and IF'd stuff based on single select text contents.TIA for any assistance.

HiI have some linked tables. The first link is between "People" and "Working Groups". When in the Working Group table I can look up people's names and add them to the field "Members". When in the People table, I can make a link back to Working Groups, and a field called working groups will self populate with all the Working Groups that people are members off. This is all working fine.I have a second link between "People" and "Training". When in the Training table I can look up people's names and add them to the field "Attendees". When in the People table, I can make a link back to Training, but I can't make a field that will self populate with all the training people have received. What am I doing wrong?The only difference in layout between Working Groups and Training, is that training's unique identifier is a date.Any light you could shed would be very helpful.Thanks,Davva
