Hi, 

I'm getting an error message when trying to create another forms. I already have 50 forms but need more.

Can't find the info.

Thank you,

Airtable currently has a very low limit of 50 interface pages, which includes forms. Be sure to send a feature request email to support@airtable.com to request that they increase this limit in Airtable.

For now, your best bet would to be create your additional forms with Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout allows unlimited forms for 100% free, and they also offer hundreds of advanced features for Airtable that you can't get with Airtable’s native forms.

For example, Fillout offers dynamic linked record filters (i.e. dynamic dropdown selections), the ability to update Airtable records from a form, the ability to accept payments on forms, the ability to have multi-page forms with conditional paths, the ability to create new linked records on a form, the ability to display Airtable lookup fields & Airtable rollup fields & Airtable attachments & formulas on forms, visually displaying as many fields as you want to see in a linked record selection list (including attachment fields), limiting the number of linked records that can be chosen, and much more.

I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:

Hope this helps!

Yeah, you're hitting the interface page limit I'm afraid, and you can find the details on it here in the FAQ: https://support.airtable.com/docs/getting-started-with-airtable-interface-designer


I'm curious what your workflow is that requires you to have 50 forms though?  If you could share how you're using them maybe we could figure out how to consolidate some of them!


Hi there!

At miniExtensions, we've created a third-party form that integrates seamlessly with Airtable, allowing you to create an unlimited number of forms. If your needs grow, you can simply upgrade to the next tier to access additional features.

To help you keep costs down, we also provide a third-party portal. This tool enables you to display as many forms as you need within a single extension, provided they come from different tables.

 


I need more interfaces! This is wild!


Hey ​@aimhiearth,

Make sure to submit this as a feature request using this form
I personally never hit such limit. May I ask what you are using so many pages for? I’m wondering whether you could leverage dynamic filters for logged in users, or similar features to reduce the page count.

@Mike_AutomaticN I create different forms that are shared with different clients, so each needs to be set up with its own branding and language, though they go to the same back end. So I need multiple iterations of the same form, which is why I have enough to hit the limit. 


Not only will Fillout let you have unlimited forms for free, but even better than that,  you can create one master form and use conditional logic to show or hide the relevant branding, logos, and language — all based on who is logged into your form.

You would just need to create a login page for your form, which will give you these options:

  1. You can restrict the logins by SSO.
  2. You can restrict the logins by email domain.
  3. You can restrict the logins by password.
  4. You can restrict logins based on a pre-approved list of email addresses that you have stored in your Airtable base.
  5. You can verify & confirm that the user is typing in a valid email address.
  6. You can limit form entries to one entry per person.

After the user logs in using your login page, that will let Fillout know who the user is and what the user’s email address is.

You can use this information to conditionally show or hide elements on your form.

You could even use this information to automatically prefill other fields on your form based on who logged into your form, and you can even use this information to do other advanced tricks with Fillout.

For example, you could use Fillout’s advanced filtering features to filter your linked record fields to only show the user the linked records that they are allowed to see.

And Fillout offers lots of other advanced features for Airtable as well, such as the ability to:

  • Update existing Airtable records using a form
  • Display Airtable lookup fields & Airtable attachment fields on forms
  • Create new linked records on a form
  • Create PDF documents from form submissions, and then attach those PDF files to the Airtable record

Hey ​@aimhiearth,

If that is the case then I would strongly suggest to use Fillout as mentioned above.

 You will probably want to create one master form, and once it is adequately set up create as many duplicates as needed. Each new duplicate would correspond to a specific client with its very specific branding (e.g. theme, images, font, font colors, etc). As mentioned by Scott, you could have conditional logic depending on the brand, however many design “features” such as font etc cannot be set dynamically. Therefore if that is a need of yours, I think you will need multiple forms.

Feel free to reach out as needed, or grab a slot using this link. I’d be happy to show you around.

Hello ​@aimhiearth, ​@JustineC1,

You can also try Plumsail Forms.

It has no limit on the number of forms and offers great design flexibility. You can set a theme, add a logo, apply custom CSS, insert custom HTML, and more.

It is also adaptive to RTL (right-to-left) languages.
