A question arose recently that’s come up a few times in the past: is it possible to give form users the ability to either pick an item from a predefined list or add their own “other” option, and have manually-added options actually appear in the list for later form users? For most of Airtable’s existence so far, this wasn’t possible (at least not without delving into the API, and even then I’m not completely sure that was doable). However, it can be done using Airtable’s automation feature. Here are two methods you can use: Method 1: Single Select Field Most of the time this question comes up, the user is probably thinking of using a single select field. While this will work, it comes with a couple caveats that actually make the second method preferable IMO. That said, some of the details that I share here will also be used in the second method, so I still recommend reading through this one. First, define your single select options as you wish, with an option named something like “Othe

Hello Airtable community, 3 years ago we published the first version of Pro Backup for Airtable (see original post). Since a lot has changed since our launch I thought I'd give on update and tell what has been improved in the last year. What has been improved since the launch? Our integration is now available as an official integration on the Airtable app marketplaceThe User interface has been redesigned and rebuilt from scratch making the experience more intuitive & faster.You can now manage the backups of multiple SaaS apps within one Pro Backup account.The Backups page now allows to easily compare versions for reach record / data type: For example you can easily compare the versions of each of your tables, comments & field configurations.Improved restore capabilities: It is now possible to restore entire tables but also to perform more granular restore requests such as restoring a specific field or comment back to the existing table. Improved click-t

Fixed! For a bit more of a ‘domestic’ application: Airtable Allowance and Chore Tracker - Airtable Universe Keep track of chores done, money earned, and money spent by "Bank of Mom" with mobile-friendly forms and views. ​ Spreadsheets only go so far. ​ This... Since Airtable allows its forms and gallery views to be easily accessible on mobile phones, it’s a lot easier to give the kids credit for chores done. Inspect the work, whip out your phone and fill out the ‘Chores Completed Form.’ Likewise, if they spend money (or if you have older teens with their own checking accounts), you can easily record when they purchase something via “Bank of Mom” or if you transfer the money. The kids can view their individual balances via a custom ‘gallery’ view. Can add kids, change the chores list and payouts, etc. to fit your family. A lot easier than a spreadsheet.

Summary This setup allows Airtable to automatically number collections of items that may not be in sequential order. Item length can be either fixed or variable, with only minor changes needed to the core system to accommodate the latter. Example To borrow from the thread that inspired this endeavor, say you’re building product codes that have a variant sub-code, and want that sub-code to automatically increment each time an item of a given product code is added in a new record. However, it needs to auto-increment each product’s sub-code separately, even when product codes are added out of order. For example, the first product code is 001, and its initial sub-code is 1, so the full combined code is 001-1. When you add a new variation of product 001, the sub-code bumps up by 1, creating 001-2. Now a new product is introduced with code 002. Because it’s the first of its kind, its full combined code is 002-1. If we then introduce a third variant of product 001, it would end up with a comb

My company uses Airtable to join multiple tables, calculate statistics, and automate the linking of values between linked fields in different tables using the "Run Script" automation feature. Occasionally, we encountered failures due to the 30-second execution time limit for the "Run Script." However, starting in December, the limit was extended to 60 seconds, which has effectively resolved this issue. We are grateful for Airtable's continuous efforts to improve its performance.

Hi All! My name is Leah Ackerman and I work on the Education team here at Airtable. When I joined the team earlier this year I decided to move my book review tracking into Airtable as a way to help myself become more familiar with the product (you can see the public interfaces here and here). As a tribute to Spotify Wrapped, I decided to create my own version using my app, so thought it would be fun to share here as well 🙂 Maybe a bit of a deviation from the typical use case, but IMO still worth it. I've attached some screenshots, but you can see the whole thing here - it's just over two minutes long. Happy viewing!  

Hi there! My organization (Humane Society of Central Texas) is seeking someone well-versed in Airtable to assist us in building a sustainable database for our Human-Animal Support Services program. This is essentially our community support program that helps pets & people within our community. There are a lot of different aspects within this program that we would be more than willing to explain for those not in the animal welfare industry. We have some initial ideas and dreams for what we would like this to look like, we just don't have the time or experience quite yet to bring it to life within AirTable. Let us know if this you'd be interested in exploring with us and we can chat through what we're looking for!

Ever run into an issue where you need to edit a record in a synced table, but the origin table is also a synced table?Well, here's a workaround solution. Let's start out with the specific use case I ran into...I was working with a table (Table A) in a large base (Main Base) that was receiving it's initial data from an Email sync. That data was being accessed by several Teams and each team had their own workflows in Team Bases. Each Team had specific data points they needed to edit in the Main Table, based on data in their Team Base. They needed a way to utilize their Team Base data to edit the Main Table.Original Solution:Each Team had a synced table (Table B) of the Table A in their Team Base. They had created a field (Field A) in Table A as well as a "duplicate" editable field (Field B) in the Table B. A new synced table (Table C) in the Main Base was created, synced from Table B. Finally an Automation would run to edit

I don't know if this is actually that revolutionary, but I struggled to find examples on the forum but couldn't find one, but I was able to come up with a thing that works. Sharing this, it'll either be "duh, we all know that", or maybe something that others haven't done yet, my bet is on the former.I have a form that people post URLs. I want others to be able to click on that link on other forms.I have a url field (task link) and a another formula field called ClickLinkFormula: (note, I hardcoded the label for this test)Then when I added it as a header field on the fillout form, it allows me a link that users can select:
