Is there a way to add hyperlinks to comment threads or does anyone know the full capability list of the comment threads. Was looking for an article but could not find. We are using the comment thread for project management and so want to see all the use cases.

Hello beautiful community! Looking to connect with Canadian Airtable users to better understand how the new Bill 25 will affect how they use Airtable in the futur. We have until September 2023 to comply and i am at a loss. Airtable has been my main platform for processes in the city. The new Bill required all Canadian data to be hosted outside of USA and away from the Patriot Act’s long arms. I understand that Airtable uses Amazon servers to host our datas and inquired about being able to host data in the Amazon Canada servers too and was told that it was not in the plans. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated.

Hi all,Just want to ask if anyone have encountered upgrading from Free trial to Pro plan and forgot to change collaborators permission level to read-only permission? Now those collaborators are billed and reflected on the latest invoice, is there a way to reverse the previously paid billed collaborators since they're not supposed to be billed and just forgot to downgrade their permission level. As of now those collaborators only have Read-only permissions but they've been already billed on the credit card. I already sent an email to airtable support but as of now there's now response yet. 

I have a list of dealers and their addresses. I want people to give me their address and find the closest dealer to their location.

Hi folks, I know you can prefill dates in forms using URL functions. In this case, I don't need it to happen in a form, but on new record creation. I can use a formula for "today" - but it's uneditable for the small number of instances where it needs to be overridden. It's helpful to have "default values" for number fields, but it seems weird there is no default for date fields. Surely I am missing something obvious?

I have an airtable base that lists possible surveys along with the required data for each survey. I want to highlight the list of possible surveys by selecting the required data.Thank you

Hi I have a question. I want to collect some data from this website, below. I would like to know if it has API capabilities and/or if I could do web scraping, either by Goggle Sheets IMPORTXLM or a written script for MacBook. I have a lot of new records, which requires postsge stamp data to be inputted and I would like to use Integromat to automatically integrate this into my Airtable base, with data from the website below: https://www.arpinphilately.com If anyone can help with my question, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you Mary

Here is just one more issue with the disgusting unusable new home page that Airtable is forcing us to use. Before there was a section "Bases Shared With Me" - that was logical, if someone shareswith me but just 1 base not the whole workspace, this base could be placed in any of the Workspaces' sections, so a separate section for them was created - and that was greatNow there is only the list of the shared workspaces and a messy heap of all bases. Now imagine that there are users like me, who have ~10 shared workspaces with ~100 shared bases, while some of them are shared on the workspace level and some are shared on the base levelThere is no way to show the bases that are not in one of the workspace, so if you don't remember the exact name of a base, all you can do is patiently look thru all 100 bases, looking for the one you need.There is not much hope that this will be noticed but at least I give you a chance: please hear your customers, trust is not something you can build fast

I'd like to be able to drag and drop from one multiple select field to another.  Help?

I have a table called “Plans” that pulls in lookup values from my “Contracts” table, which is linked. I’ve been able to add the standard fields from Plans to a Page Creator page without an issue. However, when I try to add a lookup field from Plans, it doesn’t work. I can drag the field to the Page Creator, but the box never gets populated. Similarly, If I try placing a linked field on the page, it appears as a black box with its original field name from the Contracts base. See screen shot below. Any suggestions for getting the linked/lookup fields to work in Page Creator?

Hi I have successfully implemented the WebHooks to allow for data from my Email form on my website to import into my AirTable Base Station.However, once the user has submitted the form, they are taken away from my own website and are redirected to an AirTable url "https://hooks.airtable.com/workflows/v1/genericWebhook/"page that displays the following message "{"success":true}"How do I prevent the user from being redirected to the above AirTable URL and remain on my website please?Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello AirTable community - I am very new to AirTable and learning the ropes. I have attempted to get a clear answer on this within the regular knowledgebase but cannot find it.I have a Jira Cloud project, and I am exploring using AirTable with the goal to make it easier for my team to navigate work without needing to deal with Jira's UI. I suspect AirTable could be a better experience for them to check their own work, group work in different ways, and ultimately have the "spreadsheet-like" experience they tend to prefer.To accomplish my use case, I need my team to be able to update their tickets from AirTable. I need my team team to edit Assignee, Priority, Status, Release, and sometimes even Summary or Description of a ticket from AirTable or else they won't be able to "avoid Jira completely" like I am hoping I can let them do with this solution.Right now I get the following error whenever trying to edit a field: You don't have permission to edit synced records in this table.&nbs

Is there a way to filter records that contain a word or text string without having to create a filter with the text for each field? I realize this can be done with a search, but I would like to have a view with the filter. Ideally with several words or text strings, with an “Any of” option.

Hi,I'm using the Airtable app on Mac. Whenever I try to input a new user in the User Field, the field prompts for a password autofill with my Apple fingerprint and blocks or hinders my input. I've submitted a support request to Airtable with no response and seen other people with similar problems with no solution. Has someone found a solution to this problem? Thanks

Hi all,I am getting very frustrated. for some reason, when I tried to log in to discussion forms it automatically sent me to a sign up page. I couldn't get it back so i figured I would fill it out and see where it went. Suddenly I have a new account and it won't let me log out. Normally I would just shrug this off except that I have an important work that depends on a response in a discussion post I posted on my original account. Can some please help me 1) sign out of my airtable discussion account2) sign back in under my original accountI am beyond aggravated. please someone explain this to me.

I have created a form view where users can input certain data points. These data points are then used in my Airtable base to calculate an output (based on a formula field). What I would like to do is to display this output (result of the calculation) to users, after they submit their input through the form. Can somebody recommend a way to do this? I have explored some of the apps and automations, but I cannot really find any way to achieve this.

Hello, I currently have two separate Airtable accounts that I would like to keep separate. However, when I logged into account #1 today, I noticed that I could see the base from Account #2.Could someone kindly explain why this occurred and provide guidance on how I can avoid this situation in the future? Thank you very much.

Hi all, I’m trying to use Airtable to develop a case management system for a case manager for older adults. I want the case manager facing side to be as simple as possible, while also gathering robust data I can access for reporting to our funder. Here’s where I’m getting hung up: I can’t figure out how to do a 2 tier intake. If someone calls in and only needs referral, we will only collect basic info. If they need case management, we will collect that basic info plus more robust information. I’d like these both to be on the same form since I want to reduce paper intake as much as possible, and we may not know whether they are referral or case management right away, but I’m not seeing a way to do conditional questions that would allow this type of intake. Secondly, when we are doing case management, I’d like to have something where the case manager can open that individual’s “case” with their profile created from the intake, and add case notes at various dates/times, plus show the

Hi, i want to build a website using Airtable as a database to show/collect data. Which platforms are available en which are most recommended? TIA!

I’m wondering about a strategy to help us manage our Airtable base. We have one table (Pets) that now has around 25,000 records from the past 3+ years. As that table is getting rather large, we’d like to come up with a way to keep that table a bit smaller and more nimble - basically, move records that are more than one year old over to a new table (we’ll call that Archived Pets).Guessing that there are a few parts to this strategy….1) Set up the new table (Archived Pets) in our base that will have all of the same fields as the current table (Pets). Any easy way to do that?2) The first move of all the pets that are currently in Pets that are older than one year3) Setting up the automation that would check every day for pets that are older than one year, and then move those records over to the Archived Pets tableAny help on how to do this - or is there a better way?

Only 57 out of 98 columns are loaded through the query HERE in Power BI. Does anyone know how can this be fixed?

HiI've seen a few questions regarding workload but I feel they haven't addressed the problem I'm trying to solve.I have multiple tasks within multiple projects I'm running. Each task has an effort in days/hours, a start date and an end date on the timeline.I want to make sure that on average I don't put too many things in parallel. I'm trying to approach this the same way that Monday and ClickUp are approaching this:The effort per day = total effort divided by the number of days between start and end date. So a 1 day task would have all the effort in it. 2 days task would be effort/2, 5 days = effort/5 etc...Now here's the problem I'm facing.I want to make sure, for each day, that the total amount of average effort per day for that day doesn't exceed a preset amount.Let's say I have on average 4 free hours without meetings etc... I can schedule a task that is 4 hours just for that day, or prolong that task for 4 days and add another 3 hours task for that day.I understand that I ca
