hello my friends
Can i set a role for validation at entering data in a table ?
i have a table that contains promo- codes for a marketing department. Every promo code assigned for a section in sales department. it shouldn’t assign in the table for two sections in sales sales department. is there a role to validate if a colleague is entering a code in the table for department A, a role that says ‘this code is already used for department B’ ? is it available rather than the team filter on duplicates to resolve after that ?
thanks

Hey! The Yellow Bottle sounds like a clever metaphor for that unique promo code ideally, your system should block duplicate entries by validating roles before saving.
Hey
We’ll probably need some additional info.
How are submissions for the application of a given promo-code currently occuring?
Through the back end (Airtable’s data layer) creating and editing the new record?
Submitting a Form? If so, by selecting from a drop-down of existing codes? or by manually typing on a free text field?
If through a form, is it an Airtable native form, or a Fillout form?
Initial short answer: If through a form, and if selection is done from a dropdown of existing linked records (from table promo-codes) you can for sure filter those out to show only promo-codes which are not already linked to a department.
Please provide some additional context, and/or feel free to schedule a brief call to go through it together! Happy to help.
