+10Not all data records are stored in my table A, so some fields are empty. Now I would like to fill the empty fields using a form. is this possible?
Approach: I would have to select the data record or data from the primary field so that the data records to be updated can be assigned correctly. so that the missing data is added when submitting the form.
Best answer by Pascal_Gallais-
I think that the best option for your need is to update your data directly in the table, or to create a "records review" interface if you want to update the records one by one with the possibility to dispose the fields vertically.
+21Hello,
Forms are made to insert new records, not to update existing ones. This being said, why do you want to use a form to update these records? Is it because you want read only users to update the records?

table with details about a car. Not all of the data is filled out there at the beginning. Later I would like to add one or another record until all fields are complete.
It would be visually nicer to do this using a form instead of editing the data record in a list overview. would work too.

+35As @Pascal_Gallais- discussed above, you wouldn’t need a form for this.
However, if you do want to do this with a form, your best bet is to use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable because it lets you update Airtable records with a form.
Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to update Airtable records using a form, create custom PDF files from a form submission, accept payments on forms, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, create new linked records on a form, control access to a form via SSO or email domains or a list of email addresses stored in Airtable, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, collect signatures on a form, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, connect a single form to dozens of external apps simultaneously, add CAPTCHAs to your form, 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!
