Hello! I'm trying to avoid using Google Forms to keep everything in Airtable, but have some trouble creating the matrix-like question in Airtable Forms (check attached image). Is there a way to create this or is it impossible? Thank you!

That is not possible with Airtable’s forms.

You can only do that with Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

You have 3 different ways of doing that:

  1. Use Fillout’s choice matrix field type. 
  2. Use Fillout’s table field type.
  3. Use Fillout to create an unlimited number of line items (i.e. linked records)

To see how to do #3 above, check out my video demonstration here:

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 this Airtable podcast episode:

Hope this helps!

Scott, you're a busy guy. I am corresponding with you in another AT forum! Glad that you're out there!

I am building a choice matrix question like the one in this thread using fillout.com. The form is integrated to its table in Airtable. 

Any suggestions or comments about how/whether the matrix choices will map to the linked Airtable table? Maybe I need to manually create a series of single select fields for each row of the matrix and somehow link them one by one? Seems kinda clunky!

Thanks.

Ha, thank you!

There isn’t necessarily a right or wrong answer, as long as it works for you!
