I learned that we can do employee surveys by creating a form view. We’ve got a number of questions added to the forms, but there are other questions I’m considering. I don’t yet want to put them in the form. Is there a way for me to add a sort of note-to-self in a form view to remind that, “hey, here are a couple of additional questions you might want to consider?” If I was looking at a grid view, I’d just type those in a cell.

Hello everyone,I have a complex use case that I would like to implement in Airtable.I have a table “Projects” where projects can be created via a form. Among other things, the form must specify how the project affects our strategic goals. So we have 6 fields with strategic objectives where the user can rate 1-10. “Strategic Objective A”, ‘Strategic Objective B’ etc.Now these strategic objectives can change from year to year. However, I would like to know for each project on the basis of which objectives we defined the prioritization at the start of the project.I would therefore create another table where the objectives are recorded annually and the prioritization of the objectives is recorded in another field.Now I would like my interface (project overview) to display the objectives/priorities for each project that were defined at the start of the project, even if our general strategic objectives have changed in the meantime. How would you set up the base and create the  link

Hi Airtable Community!Problem: I'm having trouble adding a linked record to multiple records without erasing the data that is already in the cell.ContextI've got one table of studies, and another table of people. Each person can be linked to any number of studies in a "Contacted" field. Sometimes that field is empty, if that person hasn't been contacted yet, and sometimes it has a few linked records (studies) in there already.If I contact 50 people, I want to add the study I contacted them for to their record. If I copy/paste the study to the cell, this overwrites the existing data , so if there were 3 studies in there to start, I'll erase them if I paste in the new study. What I triedI made a field that concatenates the study name I'm adding with the study names already in the "contacted" field, and it comes out as text. If I then paste the text into the "contacted" field, voila, I have all of the records, or so I thought! Turns out this just makes NEW duplicate records of all of

Hey all, So, I’m trying to create a good poker league base, to track our friendly poker club results. I’m the only editor and I’m thinking about creating forms to allow other to enlist themselves to tournaments, I’ll create. So far, the base structure is: Players - personal info about the players in the club, such as name, phone number etc… Tournaments - list of the tournaments with date, properties etc… Leaderboard - as the name suggests, a leaderboard. who earned the most Balance - supposed to be a running balance. deposits by players and money sent to winners Results - Name of a tournament and the winners. Bear in mind, ClubGG (the poker platform we use) doesn’t has an API. so, we input everything manually. how would track rebuys in realtime? a form with a “+” button that adds +1 in the “rebuy” column ? What’s the correct way to list the players in each tournament? one line per registered player or one line and a field that lists multiple players? Thanks.

Hello, I want to send a form to users to sign up to an activity so the user can provide their contact information and their acknowledgement to have read certain conditions. I know how to configure the basic personal information, but what’s the best way to do the section for reading and acknowledging the conditions? I don’t have a place on the web to put the text to read so I can’t send the reader to an external link. Is there a way to link to a separate field in a base, with very long text ? I would have to do this for three conditions. I was thinking: One of the field has to be a long text “X” to read. The next field would be a single check box “I have read X” Any suggestions? Thank you

I have a contest that has 3 rounds that are dependent on each other to start and stop. Each Customer's contest could have different durations for each of the round. They usually define a start date and a duration.For each contest record I define: Name of contestNominationsStartDuration EndRound 1StartDurationEndRound 2StartDurationEndI would like to use date dependencies to link the three rounds, so if I change the start date or duration of any round, the next rounds dates will shift. I have tried to configure the date dependencies but it looks like I can only set one configuration per record.  Is there any way around this that I am missing? Thanks in advance

Wondering if anybody has the same challenge, or has thought of a solution/workaround to help monitor Interfaces across multiple Bases?My team manages many similar projects that we run for multiple clients, and for confidentiality reasons the data for each project should be stored in its own individual Base. In each Base, we have data to report on overall project status which we currently present in an Interface.Now, our project managers find themselves needing to understand holistically the status of 20+ projects, but now must manually locate and open 20+ Interfaces to view each one. This is something they must do on a daily basis.Does anybody have a solution to bring all the Interfaces one would like to continuously monitor into one singular location? 

Would be great to have a better to navigate across tables - i have a base with more than 50 tables that is difficult to manage

Hello,AirTable introduce AI Feature few months ago but I don"t see Vector Search or Semantic Search.I found this project Ask-Airy that provide a very interesting design a year ago.It create an Embeding for each table's rowIt create a HyDE of Row based on user query to build an EmbedingIt search the results using Cosine Similarity (I'm struggle here)I like the way it is done but I lack of explanations. I think AirTable should provide this kind of feature natively.As a GPT developers I'm looking for RAG applications.Yes I could use a SaaS database like PinecoreYes I could use Azure / OpenAI Search APIsBut what about AirTable ?I have a lot of interesting Data into AirTable, I'd love to simply query AirTable with Semantic or Vector search then get top X results and fill back my LLM tools.Any ideas ?

Super strange but I have an issue with airtable at the moment. Links are not clickable in the URL field sometimes. This is specifically if the table cell size is small.It renders an entire webpage! How do I make this a normal link again so our users can actually CLICK on the thing?

Is it possible to create a base that pulls in different tables from different bases? For example, if there are 4 different workspaces (brand) with it's own unique base, and each base has a tab called "X" - is there a way to create a net new base or interface that pulls in "X" tabs from the different bases so that this base can see all 4 "X" tabs in one place?If yes, if/when any changes are made in "X" tab in the original base, will it update/sync with the net new base or interface? Trying to find a solution in Airtable that can help with increased team access and visibility across teams that work on different brands to minimize duplicative work and increase cross-sharing, thus improve overall efficiency and productivity. 

Hi everyone,I need some guidance on designing a base to support the following scenario.My product design team is responsible for approximately 30 distinct products, organized into eight groups. We need to provide weekly updates per product to leadership every Friday. The updates will consist of a few bullets per product.I am not sure how to design the base (and subsequent reporting interface) for these weekly time bound updates.Any advice will be appreciated so much! Thanks for taking the time to read my question and thank you in advance if you are able to assist!

The interface makes zero logical sense.  There are no error messages.  The Help documentation is written for a specific example, not understanding of how to use the tool. The Interface is broken and non consistent.I'm a big advocate for Airtable, but this is just atrocious in design and implementation for something that is so simple in concept. 

Hi All,I'm struggling with finding the right way to deal with multiple links between two tables.I have a Base with a People table, and a Milestone table, as well as a Teams table. Milestones have an Owner (link to People), and several teams (link to Teams table). Each team has a link (multiple entries allowed) to the People table. This works great for assigning people to different roles on each milestone and have a singular Owner who is leading/responsible for the milestone.However, I want to be able to go to the People table and have a list of all milestones a person is assigned to, no matter whether the person is the Owner or in a team. I have found a way to use a lookup to get all the milestones a person is assigned as a team member, but I need to add the Owner to this list. I don't want to do a simple formula doing a concatenate, because then I can't filter by People in the interface to show everything a person is working on in the calendar/timeline/lists.So; How do I combine

Hi AllI created a form for my drive team.  The form information has start time, end time, etc.  The form information goes into my master spreadsheet.  The team members do not have a paid AT account - Only I do.Is there a way that the information on the form that goes into my spreadsheet could be automatically emailed to the user that submitted the form to me?

I have two different tables in one data base.Table A has a list of unique topics, and each of them is sorted into 'Categories' (via a single select column), and has linked records (from Table B), which represent unique people (it's a formula column though).Table B has the list of unique people (formula column), and I'd like to create multiple columns, one for each category in Table A, to break up the topics corresponding to each person, by category.When I create a second linked record for Topics in Table B, filtering by value, it's fully independent from my first linking (vs showing a subset of it). See attached.The output I would like is, for row 1 in Table B, to see "Topic A" listed in the `Topic - X Category` column. Is there a way to do that?Thank you so much! 

Hello,I need to create my own view under a task. When I duplicate the original task, any changes I make to the duplicate base affects the original one. How can I create my own task list/view without affecting the original one?

Hello there! Currently we use Google forms to gather registration information from clients. Is there a way of creating a registration form on Airtable, from which the answers would go automatically to our Airtable base please? I am trying to avoid copying and pasting… Although I am sure there is a better way of importing this data too. thanks, Reeta

Did Airtable ever implement any type of Captcha with forms?

Hi, I recently ran into several such issues where the records of the Linked field shows up empty. Here Session is linked from another table. Notice that the drop down is empty. Anyone facing such issues? 

We are using airtable as a database for some of our raw materials. However, when we receive a raw material order we have to fill out this PDF document for compliance with regulations. I can add the form to a record as an attachment, but the form is not able to be filled out using this method. There is a new form for each record. We are using an iPad in the manufacturing floor to manage all of this.

Hi I'm quite new to Airtable, I've created two bases and now I've realised I would benefit from all the tables being in one base. Is it possible to transfer a table tab from one base to another? (incl vews/formula/field types)  i can copy and paste but would mean i would lose all of the views and have to start from scratch... Thank you!Sarah  

I am creating a contact management database.The master database contains all the fields related to a person. The unique field in each record will be the email.This database needs to be updated from two different source. Each source has the same data but the header fields (field names) are labeled differently, and are different from the master.Example:Source one:  First name is labeled  "f_name"Source two:  First name is labeled  "first_name"Master:          First name is labeled  "First Name"What I want to be able to do is create a relationship between each of the sources to the master using the email (which is unique in all databases) as the key field. Each source will have (needs to have) it's own field mapping to the master. Whenever any of the source databases is updated, a single table in the Master database will be updated. I am talking one master table that is updated by two different sources.I have done this
