I run a startup incubator associated with a university. I have members who are students, professors, and community members. I’d like to do different links (different forms) depending on the audience, but not ask them if they’re a student, professor, or otherwise on the form.

Please be sure to email support@airtable.com to request this much-needed feature! They don’t read the posts here.

In the meantime, this can only be accomplished with MiniExtensions (or other external form software):

Yes, this is so necessary in the case that a Form will create a new record which related to another record in different table.
If only I could add the related record’s id hidden in the form :slightly_frowning_face:

It is, in my opinion, the #1 biggest missing feature from forms.

Please be sure to send your request for this feature to support@airtable.com, so they know how important this is to you.

In the meantime, we can get this feature with MiniExtensions’ form:

It’s a really missing functionality…
Please update :pray:

Really need this, how can we push this up to the developers @Airtable_IT ?

Would be very helpful for sign up forms, in which a person can be marked as “incoming”
I currently hack this through an update automation

I spent an hour trying to configure a hidden prefilled form before realising that hidden fields are truly hidden. Had to switch to Jotform but I’d love it if Airtable is able to allow some fields to be hidden ‘within’ a form instead of being completely absent from a form.


Amazing this basic feature is not available yet… adding an expensive subscription to miniExtensions app just for that does not make sense
Our contacts records come from a multitude of different forms and we NEED to have the ability to classify them by origin

@Airtable_IT team: can you at least share if it is on your roadmap, so we can make plans?

Thanks!


Also need this feature!
