I do not get Function Field as a choice in customize field selection- I get Number, Date, etc. Thanks.

For some reason, formula fields can’t be created nor edited in the mobile app. You may want to submit this as a feature request to support@airtable.com.


Awesome, been driving me crazy. Thanks

It’s called “formula”, not “function”.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the correction. Do I not get the choice because I am using the free version and am only a collaborator?

It’s definitely an odd omission — it would be very nice to be able to create formula fields from the iPad or the iPhone. You can “sort of do it” from an iPad web browser window, but it’s difficult.

Yeah, you’ll need to do your formula development from a desktop or laptop machine.

You can submit a feature request to do formulas on the mobile app by filling out this form.
