What is the proposed idea/solution?

To have an EDIT button in Interfaces, Forms dashboard

How does is solve the user problems?

Easy editing access

How was this validated?

By checking the forms and interfaces dashboard

Who is the target audience?

Anyone who uses Interfaces, forms

That’s a good idea to have a screen that is completely view-only until you hit an edit button.

Until Airtable implements this, there are at least 2 great workarounds for this behavior:

1. The 1st workaround uses the conditional hiding feature of Airtable’s interfaces, and is demonstrated by @Kamille_Parks11 on this Airtable podcast episode.

2. The 2nd workaround is where you keep all of your fields in your interface as view-only, and then you give a button that takes the user to that record in Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable. Fillout is 100% free and it gives you hundreds of advanced form features for Airtable, such as the ability to edit Airtable records from a form.
