The “To-do list” tutorial opens with



In this 3-part tutorial learn how to build a to-do list block that shows a

list of tasks from a table and allows you to check them off when done.



The supporting screen recording demonstrates this functionality.


However, the tutorial only covers displaying the contents of a table or view.

There is no information on modifying the table (via a checkbox or otherwise).

A subsequent guide does discuss writing to a table though it’s not in terms of

the “to-do list” block.

Hi Mike, thanks for letting us know!


This was a mistake in the guide description and we’ve updated it. We’ve also added a section under “Extra credit” that discusses editing tasks.


We don’t have any current plans to fully extend the tutorial to cover writing back to Airtable, but will note this as a potential improvement. (The guide was written before writes were supported in the Blocks SDK.)


The example code for the to-do block here demonstrates how to handle adding, removing and checking off tasks: GitHub - Airtable/apps-todo-list: Mark records as complete with an interactive to-do list. And, as you noted, we have a separate guide for writes.

Got it. Thanks, Emma!

Good news! The tutorial now has a new section dedicated to writing data back to the Base. It’s titled, “Part 4: integrate with a checkbox field to manage the ‘completed’ status of each task.”
