Copying Fields & Automatically Filling

I have created a marketplace using Softr and Airtable.

I am trying to figure out two issues:

1. I have lots of records and want to create a field for signup, with the URL pointing to the sign-up in in Softr. Is there a way to input the URL into one row of a record and then copy that into every sign-up record?

2. Going forward whenever I create a record, I would like that the sign-up field will be automatically populated with the URL. How do I do that?

Ideally, I would like to have the Signup in the Softr record (card) directly point to the appropriate URL but it seems it will allow me to map only through Airtable. 😞

Thanks a lot in advance.

If you want to see the exact same value in every record, you can just create a formula field for that. You can also create a button field with a formula to open the URL.

Thank you. I have created the button and used a formula.

I will also figure out to automate it so that everytime a record is created, that particular field will be automatically populated the url.

That would not be necessary, because formulas work across all records.
