Interface Designer

Hi,In an automation that is triggered by an user from an interface button, would it be possible to divide the action in two parts, with user interaction inbetween?I’d like to show the user a preview of an invoice that would be sent out after the user has checked it’s all good. The PDF would be produced in the first stage, then sent out in the second if OK.I cannot see any way to this in Airtable, but I have been amazed before by elegant solutions :). Would there be a solution also to this?Rgds,Björn

Hi,I have an automation that ultimately triggers from checkbox field being checked. The checkbox is normally checked as the result of another automation, but I need to let users re-run the automation manually.I thought I could place an Update record button and let it toggle the checkbox, i.e. first uncheck the box, then check it anew.Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work, it doesn’t seem to do anything. Here’s an image of how my setup. Any ideas how to configure a button so that it unchecks and the checks a checkbox?Rgds,Björn

Hi, Everyone!As per earlier announcement Airtable said “Large views load faster with previews”, which is great for views. BUT, we could need that function in interfaces as well as my team is heavily complaining about loading times when a project became more then 25k records, for example. Kai @ CPLI 

Hi all, Im trying to build a timeline and all the surrounding forms to manage the factory bays and mechanics on airtable.I’m wondering if there’s any way to colour mask (possibly the background) the weekends as well as masking off the day-offs of the mecanics.  Is there a way to do this on airtable or possibly on extentions? Thanks for your attention.

We use Airtable Interface to match caregivers to clients based on required skills such as Alzheimer’s care, hospice experience, and Hoyer lift. Multi-select fields are the best structure for this type of data because they are clean, scalable, and easy for our team to maintain.In the Interface, we use multi-select dropdowns such as “Skills and Experience” to narrow down caregivers. However, when selecting multiple values in the dropdown, the behavior uses OR logic instead of AND.For example, if we select both “Alzheimer’s Care” and “Hospice Experience,” the results show caregivers who have either skill, not those who have both.In real workflows, we often need to find caregivers who meet multiple required criteria at the same time, such as Alzheimer’s care and hospice. The current dropdown behavior makes this difficult and not intuitive.We understand there are workarounds such as adding multiple conditions or creating helper checkbox or formula fields for each skill. However, these appro

The new custom interface feature is incredible, it’s unlocked so much functionality for my organisation but one thing that would take it to the next level is being able to place custom interface blocks inside of standard interface pages.Please add this one to the backlog 🙏

Where is the problem please ?4 Devise numbers. 3 differents formats  Same configuration for all the numbersHave a good day 

Am I missing something? Tell me there is a secret. Right now the Interfaces can show the record’s Activity Feed but not the Revision History ? The only place I can show it is if I use the side panel to open a linked record, those you can have the revision history at the bottom but that is it!! As far as I know.

Hi!I am building an activity planner for an organisation and trying to achieve an interface page that shows a timeline view, but with dates running along the vertical (Y) axis rather than the standard horizontal layout. The idea is that users can scroll up and down to see multiple records (activities) lined up side by side against a shared time axis.Has anyone managed to:Replicate this with a different interface element or creative field/layout setup? Use an embedded chart or third-party tool to achieve this? Build something similar using a custom page or external embed?Any workarounds, extensions, or even "close enough" solutions would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve seen this has been requested for a long time now, but those feature haven't still seen the light. My team struggles a lot for the current interface limitations:Not being able to see the full text entered in a cell. This happens both in table and lists views. There is no current solution for this, unless people manually open the record, which is not always the possible solution when you're reviewing big tables that are text-intensive No font colors: this is something I do not understand. Why it is not possible to have font colors? There are rich text fields, with headings, bold, italics… You can event set a link that will color the text in blue. But no way to change the font color.Those limitations are embarassing when we look at how many powerful things we can do with Airtable. It would be great to hear from the Airtable team about those features, at least knowing if this is something that is being considered since I see there are three years old posts in the forum asking for it.

I love the new interfaces and the option for grouping data, however I sometimes need to have different groups to show different stats but be able to filter ALL by the same date rather than having to filter by group.  It would help if we had the old option to add text to a group so that you can differentiate data and then you could add the filter to one group but still have context to the data you are looking at within a group.I don’t think there is a way to do any of this?

DescriptionWhile participating in the Let’s Play Hackathon, I encountered what appears to be an inconsistency in how Airtable Interfaces render record detail layouts across platforms.When a Record Detail layout is configured to open in Full-screen mode from a Gallery component, the record still opens as a sidesheet panel on desktop, even though the layout is explicitly configured to use full-screen.Interestingly, the same configuration works correctly on mobile devices, where the record opens in full-screen as expected. This creates inconsistent behavior between desktop and mobile environments.Because the Interface Designer provides a clear configuration option for full-screen mode, the expected behavior is that this layout preference should be respected consistently across platforms.Steps to Reproduce Create an Interface in Airtable. Add a Gallery component displaying records. Configure the Record Detail layout to open records in Full-screen mode. Open the Interface on desktop.

Hi community!I'm building a Custom Interface Extension (with Claude Code) and want to add the native Airtable comments section to my detail view - just like you can add it in the Interface Designer.Question: Is there a component or method to embed the native comments UI in a Custom Interface Extension?What I've tried: Searching for components like RecordComments, CommentSection in @airtable/blocks interface-alpha SDK Using expandRecord() - but this opens a separate modal instead of inline display Building a custom solution via REST API (works, but missing @mention autocomplete)  What I want:  The same comments section you get in Interface Designer - with all features like:Inline display (no modal) @mentions with autocomplete Profile pictures Full comment threadIs this possible? Or is the only option to build everything custom via the Comments REST API?Working with Claude Code and we can't find any documentation for this.Any guidance appreciated! 🙏

I have a number of tables that contain information about job applicants.  Some data is supplied by the applicant, some is suppled by HR.  Moreover, there’s a process (workflow) that captures different sets of data throughout the interview process.Can I base an interface on the audience?  The applicant wouldn’t be an Airtable user, while the HR rep would be. Can the interface change based on the state of the workflow?  Perhaps there is a state field that is read-only, but is modified by the completion of each step (applied, reviewed, interview, hired, etc).Thoughts appreciated.

I’m trying to create a social media calendar view that shows posts colored by platform. The issue I’m facing is one post record may contain several platforms. The only way I can figure this out is by creating a new post record for every platform the post will go on, but that is redundant. Does anyone have a calendar view that shows social posts colored by platform? Or a similar way to set this up?

Have you made a Custom Interface Extension using extension scripting or other options? What does it do, how did you make it and show me an example of it!! 🙌 This is more about the Extensions used in Interfaces but by all means show me your extensions 😎!!

After the recent update introducing new appearance styles for single select fields, I'm experiencing an issue with forms.Issue:When selecting "List" as the appearance option for a single select field in a form, the field stretches all the way to the right edge of the form, ignoring any expected width constraints.Expected behavior:The list options should be contained within a reasonable width, similar to how the dropdown appearance displays.Steps to reproduce:1.  Create or edit a form2.  Add a single select field3.  Set the appearance to "List"4.  Preview the form — the list options stretch to the full width of the formIs this a known bug being addressed, or is there a setting/workaround to control the width?Thanks in advance!

I have a custom interface created by Omni where I have a button to create a new record in a table. When I’m creating a record from this interface, I want to upload a csv file into an attachment field, however, the code isn't working. The file will appear to have been uploaded, but when I check the data table, it's not uploaded or it's uploaded in a corrupt format that doesn't load again. How can I fix this in the interface? Omni has not been able to solve for this yet.

I have an interface that is shared with non airtable users regularly and need the documents in the interface to be downloadable. The interface is shared publicly but when viewing the interface as a non user there is no download option for the attachments. How do I fix this?

Currently the resolved comments option removes the comments from the All Comments drop down, which causes a lot of users to miss them unless they know to go and toggle to a different comments view for Resolved Comments. This also negatively impacts our end users as they have to piece together everything int he All Comments with the Resolved Comments views being separate. Is it possible to pull the resolved comments into the All Comments view?

Hi everyone! 👋I’m running into a weird behavior when working with Google Sheets and wanted to see if anyone here has ideas or has run into something similar.Every time I add a new row manually (or via automation), the new row is not being added at the bottom of my sheet — instead it’s always inserting at row 1257, pushing all existing rows below that down. I expected new rows to be added to the end of the data range.Here’s what I’ve noticed so far: The sheet definitely has data below row 1257. New rows always appear at 1257, not at the lowest existing row. I’m working either manually or via a script/automation (could be Apps Script/Zapier/Make/Webhook). Has anyone seen this happen before?Does anyone know what settings, filters, named ranges, scripts, or other quirks might cause Sheets to treat row 1257 as “the end” of the sheet?Happy to provide screenshots or more context if needed. Thanks in advance! 😊

Hello, I’m working on creating a project management system for a creative studio and I want to have Airtable suggest the best assignee for a task. I have a resource table that shows availability and skill, how do I then have a resource list ranked by percentage “best match” show up? I know I have seen a webinar or tutorial showing what this looks like, but I can’t locate it anywhere. In addition to this, how can I provide a low, medium, high tier to the skills that are matched back with each resource? Is it possible to have an AI agent within Airtable reference an external knowledge base to referencing when deciding on the best match

Hello Community,Is there any way to update the two fields from the interface when I click an button using form or some other way. Current Problem:I have an automation which triggers on record update. My table as two date time fields: Start Time and End Time. And as you might know we cant enter date and time together in date-time field in Airtable. So when I set both of them it consumes 4 runs of the automation which is not efficient.Solution I am looking for:We would be mainly creating tasks from interface like this Now I dont want to have the Start Time and End Time as editable fields because then the above problem will be posed again. Is there any way where when I click the Update button it askes for Start Time and End Time and then it gets updated on airtable upon confirmation?If this is possible I would really appreciate some help in achieving it.Thanks for your time!

I would like to add a logo to an Invoice Interface .... but cannot see the option to add an Image element... I am on the free plan. Help please.

I am currently working with Airtable Interfaces and noticed that the Label component provides only basic formatting options such as Bold, Italic, and Underline. In many dashboard scenarios, we require more advanced capabilities such as: Adding dynamic field values inside the label Including conditional formatting Displaying additional contextual information Adding icons or visual indicators Supporting richer text formatting or layout control At present, the Label appears to be static and limited in customization.For reporting dashboards and operational monitoring use cases, enhanced label flexibility would significantly improve clarity and user experience.Is there any current workaround to achieve this?If not, would this enhancement be considered in the future roadmap?  For the Reference I have just added the Image.
