Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if you can help me with something I have been working on. I currently have 3 tables in one base. One table has different names of clients (Table 1). The other table has the names of projects they are attached to with a record ID through a formula (Table 2). In Table 1, I have a linked record column to link each client to a project and there is a lookup column as well that shows the record ID of the project. Finally the 3rd table is used to store data from a form. In the form, I want to be able to have a linked record (select a client from Table 1), but I want to filter the options in the form under the linked record, so when filling out the form for one project, only clients linked to the project will show up as an option, so this could be a filter by the recordID of the project if that makes sense. Views will not work for my use because Airtable does not have a way to dynamically filter the view by different record ID's without creating a new form/view for each project. If this is not possible in Airtable, I can also add URL parameters to embed in my website as well since this is a form, that I plan on embedding. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

2025 Update:

This is now natively supported in Airtable using dynamic filtering in linked record fields.

This is also a built-in feature of Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable, and it’s much easier to setup in Fillout than in Airtable.

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:

Hi there!

At miniExtensions, we've created a third-party form that integrates seamlessly with Airtable, and supports conditional filters for linked record fields
