Hello,
I have created 3 forms connected to the same page (they need to be) and I was wondering if there is anyway to filter them on an Interface to only show those submitted on the same form.
Thanks. 😊

Hello @JWalker ,
There is a Prefilled form feature.
By adding this feature and a single-select field, you can identify which form was used to fill out the form.

Hi,
Thank you for responding, however, this isn't what I'm looking for as I don't want to refill anything I just want to be able to see which form was used for the event request. We have 3 different versions some they range in how much is required to be filled out/number of questions. Is there any way to organise them in an Interface?

Hey @JWalker,
What @Sho mentioned in their answer is a good solution. You should create a hidden field in your AT form and pass a value to it using preFilled URL, so that you can know which form was used to submit a record.
For example:
You can create a single-select field in your base called source.
For Form 1, you add source as a hidden field and prefill it by saying:
https://airtable.com/shr12345678?source=Form1
Repeat the same for each form.
And then in the Interface, you can just apply the filter on each form to filter by the source record.
You can also learn more about prefilling a form in Airtable in this Airtable support article.
However, instead of creating prefilled links, I would recommend using Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable, because no prefilled links are required.
Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to update Airtable records using a form, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, add new linked records to forms, create PDF files from a form, and so much more.
I do not typically recommend using prefilled links, because Airtable’s prefilled links come with serious downsides that you will want to be aware of:
I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:
