I am pondering what will happen to extensions in the wake of interfaces?In our company bases have become the primary domain of the administrator setting up and managing the data, while Interfaces have become the dominant workplace for that data.This has made extensions obsolete for all of those working exclusively in interfaces. Will extensions find their way into interfaces eventually?

For the last 20 hours, I have not been able to access Airtable through the MacOS Desktop App.  Out of nowhere, the pages are all broken as if the CSS is not working.  I only see broken text.I uninstalled, reinstalled.  Reloaded pages, nothing.Anyone have insights?

I love the page designer extension and one day realized there are menu options for Records in a Specific View and layout options for a grid or list. I was so psyched -- I've only ever printed one record at a time.But the grid and list isn't working ... the result seems the same as one record at a time. I've done a few tests e.g. creating a new layout, using canned page sizes vs. custom, etc.Any thoughts?

If I have a selection of records showing in View A, I would like to have a button that opens the same selected records in View B.  Any ideas? Or am I missing something obvious? 

We used to be able to copy a formula field from one table and paste it in a linked record field of another table, but are no longer able to do so. Is there a way to re-enable this?

I’m new to Airtable, I’m trying to freeze several rows at the top, in addition to the ability to freeze columns (like “freeze panes” in Excel). Is this possible on the free plan? Is there a better solution? For example, let’s say my records are students and my columns are classes. Each class has some metadata - its location, times and teacher. Currently it’s specified in the first several rows, instead of them holding student data, so the student list begins at about row 6. I need to see this info when I’m scrolling the list of students. Thanks.

Hello, I’m experiencing a bit of an odd error with certain records now being encapsulated in “” quote marks when synced from one base to another. I can’t see any rhyme or reason as to why - some records in the fields are fine, but some aren’t; in other fields, all records seem to have ended up with quote marks. Example: As an aside, I did notice a few weeks ago, from a completely separate table, when copy pasting linked records into a spreadsheet (just for the text), some ended up with the random “” marks, whereas others didn’t… Is it a related thing? Any help much appreciated! King regards, Matt EDIT: immediately after posting this I noticed the difference. It’s the commas! Get rid of the commas in a field and it doesn’t happen. Mods you can close this, thank you!

Looking for suggestions. This is now coming up for two clients. We'll focus on one, for now, as the concept/challenge is the same.I have a client - mortgage company - using Airtable for group workflow. We move data between 3 systems for now. Airtable, a CRM (Bonzo), and their Loan generation software.There are times they need to compare data when there are discrepancies. The inability to generate a dynamic form, where I can display any discrepancies, the source data, and allow the client to select which data takes precedence, from within Airtable is a problem.Currently, for one client who uses Google Docs, I have a Google Apps Script app. For this client, I store the json from their external service in a table. I have a link to the GAS app that reads the log file, the stored JSON, presents the discrepancies, and allows them to choose their "correct" data.I would much prefer this process stay in Airtable.Are there any plans to provide any ty

Hello,I am interacting with AirTable Template to learn: https://www.airtable.com/universe/exph2Hba4WdowOR1X/ux-research-insights-database?explore=trueI experience the challenge while grouping by multi-select field. I end up with different combinations of groups containing the same value.For e.g. I do have: "Audio", "Audio + Audio", "Audio + Onboarding" (please see screenshot).I would like to have "Audio" as one group and "Onboarding" as 2nd group. I am fine with the fact that they will contain exact same record.I understand the relations between the tables, however can someone guide me how to build it in a different way, so that I can have "unique" Groups? I still would like to use multi select (not single select).Cheers,Karo

Hi! I notice that the jotform integration is only one-way. What would be the best solution for having a set up where data from all fields of one AirTable row is triggered to auto-infill a contract for electronic signature? Would anyone have a recommendation for the best integration for this? Also, are AirTable considering adding a signature field at any point soon? That would save the additional workaround. Much appreciated!

Hi, if I have a spreadsheet with a long list of emails, and I need to search those email on my base, is there a way to search/filter all emails at one time or do I need to search 1 by 1? I've tried to filter by emails address and pasting all the address in the "contains" value but it doesn't bring anything up, same with the simple search?Thank you!

Hi everyone, I know that are some problems about printing but I’ve a problem and I can’t resolve. When I print a view (grouped by a field) on A4 it’s splitted in 2 pages orizzontally. The records are not on the same line. I would find a solution without using PageDesigner or other apps. Any ideas?

I have had a form for the last few weeks that worked exactly as expected.  Today the linked fields in the form cannot be clicked to select from the list of linked records.  All the field settings in the underlying table and in the form itself appear correct.  I even tried creating a completely new form and the problem persists.  Here's a link to the live form:https://airtable.com/shr5M59mTF6jXrEUlAny ideas what's happening?EDITED TO ADD: I can add a new record directly into the underlying table with no issues - all fields work exactly as expected! 

Hi,None of the linked fields that show up on any of my forms are working. When I click them, nothing happens. This is happening across all my Bases and also in some Bases in my client's workspaces. Was there an update or something that I missed? Is this a bug? Is anyone else facing this issue? 

Hello :wave: I used this article to create a booking system. I haven’t changed anything apart from adding my availability. In the Time field, I DIDN’T enable the “same timezone” option so people can see their local time. So, for my test, I have made myself available every Saturday at 3pm GMT. My problem is, when I send the form (this one Schedule a live class!) to someone in another time zone, they see 3pm as the available time as well rather than their local equivalent time. How can the form take into account the local timezone of the person completing it? Thank you for your help. Jeremie

Hello -- is there a way to sort the automatically-generated list of collaborators in a User field? We have an interface where collaborators can create a new task and assign a task owner via a User field. The users appear to be in the order they were added to the base. It would be a lot easier for them if the User field could be alphabetized but I'm not seeing that option when editing the field (screenshot attached). What am I missing?Thanks for any help!

Sadly Airtable discontinuing some Airtable extensions they says people not using. Hangouts? Wherby?Clearbit is to clean data about companies, but it is handled through Make and Zapier better so that’s one easy.Namequiz, it’a perhaps less used for what it was built but I use it all the time to learn Spanish. It asks me “Who is ferrocarril” and shows me 2 pictures in my database to guess the right image for ferrocarril and another one for any record I have, this quiz is very challenging for abstract terms also because Name Quiz timer is quite fast.Sadly these are discontinued but.You are receiving this email because you may have recently used the following Airtable extensions:WherebyGoogle HangoutsClearbitTopic timerName quizWe’ve decided to sunset these extensions due to low usage, and removing these will help us meet our maintenance and security needs.Starting today, we are removing support for these exte

I’m looking to create a column that adds 10 minutes onto another columns ‘datetime’ field. I’m assuming I’d do with this with some sort of a formula? My end goal is to create a ‘zapier trigger’ based on a ‘new record in view’ in airtable. But I don’t want the ‘new record in view’ to display immediately, I want it to wait 10 minutes after the other datetime field has been added (which is the field I’m pulling the datetime from). So, I need to figure out a way to add 10 minutes on that column, I’d LOVE some help!

Alright, so, I'm asking for help because really i've just tried to do the 100th formula and it just doesn't work, so i'm taking my chances by asking for help. 😭See, what i'm looking for is this:I need to have a calendar view to control a car workshop. The idea is that my call center will receive the calls from my clients, and then, in a record, upload the information of the client (regulars such as which work has to be done, which mechanic will do the job, and so, and so) and the idea of this calendar is:To use this view to see if there's any open gap in the workshop, so if there's a gap between 11am and 1pm (for example), and the client in the phone is asking for a job that can be done in whitin that time span that's available, then the girl helping me can offer that space for the client. That way the mechanics will have more productive hours. I've tried this:

Howdy,I noticed that since yesterday, when I open a single record and try to "tab" down fields, it takes additional presses of the tab key.I would expect that it would take one tab keypress to go between one field and the nextInstead, I am witnessing it is CONSISTENTLY taking three tab keypresses. I tested this across multiple user accounts, Firefox and Chrome, and multiple AirTable bases. All Windows machines.Related documentation: https://support.airtable.com/docs/airtable-keyboard-shortcuts From here:Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?Does anyone have any suggestions for how to restore the expected "one tab keypress, one field" behavior?

We're trying to help an Airtable user on our team to log in for the first time.He had been invited originally back in Feb. 2020. I'm not sure that he had signed up to get a password—probably not but maybe.When he tries to access his account, he appears to be taken through loops that are dead-ends. When he has clicked on Continue, he got a blank page. So, we deleted his account and created a new one (with the same email address), and sent him a link.When he clicked it, he got an "Email already in use" message. Please help. Thank you!

Like the title says can you add a subscript into text in an automation email.    I have tried the following "CO<sub>2</sub>  but it doesn't work.   I have found that you can add lots of other HTML tags like <b></b> for bold and <p style:"blah blah;"></p> to achieve other formatting outcomes but the <sub></sub> tag doesn't seem to work.Is there a way to do this? 

Hi all, I'm trying to configure a cell to show status "complete" when all conditions are met, and "incomplete" when they're not, using nested IF-statements and an OR statement within that. The formula is not returning anything, i.e. the field stays blank. Any ideas why this could be? I tried both these variations (and also only single conditions to see if it works at all, but the value returned isn't correct - I only got "incomplete", no matter whether the condition was met or not.) Background: {Confirmed? (from Location)} and {Confirmed} are checkbox formats, {Status (from Menus)} is a single value field. I want the return value regardless of whether Status (from Menus) is "Done" or blank. Thanks so much for any hints! IF(AND({Confirmed? (from Location)} = 

Hi everyone, I have an Airtable base with 17 collaborators. 2 of them are admins that check if everything is good on the base, update records, etc., and the rest of them put each day their working time through airtable forms. These times automatically generate an invoice for each of them at the end of the month with Zapier & Docupilot. The users are all able to edit their personal times during the month so they can adjust the invoice before it’s generated & sent to the client. But they should not be able to see other’s people times. The fact is, in Airtable, as long as you are part of a table (even in read-only), you can see ALL the views and ALL the tables. So I cannot hide the hours of John for everyone except for him with personal views. I partially solved this problem with Stacker, as I configured an interface which is different for every user. John will
