Unable to replicate inline label-and-value display shown in Record Review preview layout

Hi Airtable Community,

I’m trying to reproduce the Record Review layout shown in Airtable’s setup preview, the one with an employee list on the left and a large profile card on the right. In that preview image, the record detail area shows:

A profile picture (Attachment field) on the left

And, directly to the right of it, several fields like “Team,” “Start Date,” and “Manager” displayed inline, where the field label and its value appear on the same horizontal line, for example:

Team: Creative
Start date: Dec 28 2022
Manager: Julia Harris

 

I’m attempting to achieve this exact side-by-side layout in my own Interface. Here’s what I currently have:

I’ve successfully positioned the Attachment field (Profile Picture) on the left, and I can place other fields (such as “Contact Type”) to its right.

I’ve set the Style of “Contact Type” to Pills, which correctly displays the values (“Expert | Partner”).

However, the field label (“Contact Type”) always appears above the values rather than beside them.

In other words, the current behaviour in my Interface is:

Contact Type  
Expert

 


Whereas in Airtable’s Record Review preview, it would appear inline like this:

Contact Type: Expert | Partner


The only label controls I can find are:

“Show labels for entire row”

“Hide labels for entire row”

…but there doesn’t seem to be an option for inline label-and-value display (label and value on the same line).

Any help would be greatly welcome

Thanks
Ladi

I don’t think this is possible I’m afraid

Hello ​@TheTimeSavingCo ,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Hmm how super frustrating and weird for them to showcase a format/layout that can’t be reproduced 😤

Yeah...I went down this rabbit hole before and felt the same.  We usually can set the field label options when we select the entire group, but once we set up the attachment field on the left we end up with this:

were you able to find a workaround with a different view type?
