Hey :slightly_smiling_face:

We use [interactions] table and we have a linked field to [customers] table.
If we don’t have the right customer we can create a new recored in customers table BUT if we use the form we can choose only from the exists customers and we do not get the option to create a new one…

What do I miss??
Thanks

The current implementation of Airtable forms is to only add new records. By default you can’t use them to edit existing records. However, I outlined a possible workaround for this in Show and Tell not long ago. If that’s not a viable alternative, then you may need to consider integrating some third-party form solutions like Jotform or On2Air: Forms

We’ve built an extension that allows you to create a new linked record with Airtable Form.
