Hey y'all,So, I have this big base of about 1300 records that we've made accessible to the public designed as a marketing resource. Lately, people have been "requesting accesss", which is great in the sense that they want access to the data, but not what it was designed for. I was wondering if there was some way to remove people's ability to request such. Kind of a shot in the dark, but thought I'd ask. Any and all help is mega appreciated. 🙂  Thanks so much, Z

Hi! We are attempting to automate some data from a Looker (Look) into an Airtable on a periodic basis (monthly). We've enabled this in Looker and connected our API key in Looker as well. We paste in the appropriate Base and Table id's and we also created the 1:1 column headers. Even for testing we limited the row count to 100. But for some reason, we keep trying but the data never shows up in the Airtable. Anyone had similar issues? Feels like its something small I just can't see breaking it but not sure.

Hi there, I created a button that runs a script to download an attachment from an external API. This works 100%, but it opens the Extensions pane, when the button is clicked. Is it possible to NOT open the extensions pane when the button is clicked to download and attach the document to the record?  

Hi all,we at Farm to Feed have just set up our base which is linked to other software solutions via APIs to construct an automated supplychain. For the past 1.5years we have been using excel for our operations and all our data sits in a few workbooks. I am now looking for someone who can migrate our data from these excel workbooks to our airtable base, taking note that our base includes quite a lot of linked records which don't easily are copied correctly from excel. Please reach out if we can set up this project of data migration with you. Best, Anouk

Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to import a list of hyperlink URLs from spreadsheet to airtable? I know CSV files can be imported. If you copy and past links directly from Excel file to import, then the hyperlinks will be displayed as text rather than hyperlink type in airtable. Thank you in advance.

Hi,After using 2 Pro accounts for one month to confirm our needs, I've been trying to find again the link for the subscription to a plan for 5 users for a Pro plan at $360 / year. Should it be found in the UI ? Right I can only see a much higher price.I was wondering how much you paid and if anyone had that offer too ?Thanks.

I can’t seem to update my community user name under my profile settings, nor can I find a link to contact a moderator to assist. Appreciate any help…

Is this possible? We would like to know the ‘aging’ of our status field. Meaning, how long has a record been sitting in the current status. I’ve included a screenshot (VIEW HERE) of our base pointing to the Status field and the ‘Aging’ field we want to populate with this data. We already have a last modified date but that, as you all know, is for ANY change made to a record. We only want ‘Aging’ to track the Status field. Thank you!

I created a number field for magazine circulation sizes, the first one being 900,000. I entered 900,000 and it turned into 900000. It’s pretty standard for numbers that are higher than three digits to use a comma after every third digit from right to left. So how do I make that happen in AirTable?

I was changing login email and password then while trying to re-login I'mlocked out of both old and new credentials. Please assist as I can't access my records anymore!

Why when an account is created it has to be created with 14 pro trial? Why Pro trial does not offer options that are on the free trial? Like "run script"

Hey there, Assume a contact management base where we have a Contacts Table and a Companies table. The Companies table has a Company Contacts linked record field that lists all contacts in that company. When syncing both tables to another base, the Company Contacts linked record in the target base is displayed as a text field, not a linked record field and looses the linking between records. Any plans for airtable to maintain the connection between linked records when both tables are synced to the same base? When trying to recreate the link using a new linked record field and a script, I found out that the getCellValue method only returns the linked record name, and does not return the linked record id. Any plans for the airtable scripts and blocks apis to return the record IDs of synced linked records, not only text? My workaround, for now, will be to: Add to both source tables a formula field that return the RECORD_ID(). Add a lookup field to the Companies table that displays the

I am trying to create a table for my microgreen growing log. I would like to have a function that when I create a new record and fill in the crop name of that record, the corresponding harvest days will be autofilled in another field. But I don't want to use formula as the field type of harvest days as I might have to adjust the harvest days in some situation.

For various reasons, I sometimes need to have long text fields that contain spaces with no other characters. I've been doing this for over a year without any issues. But in the past 2 weeks, it seems like Airtable has stopped recognizing these "space only" strings in long text fields. If I enter any number of spaces or non-breaking spaces into a long text field with no other text, Airtable just deletes it when I leave the field.Here's an example from an older table where it worked (the "length" fields are just len(fieldName) so you can see that it's there):But this is what I'm getting now:I would greatly appreciate any ideas or suggestions!Thanks,Dorothy

Hello!I am looking to make a form that allows my salesperson to specify the amount of product and price for a customer from linked tables.  I have different tables in my base specifying what we have in stock, our customers, and the serial numbers to the products.  What I'm looking to do is create a product list question in forms where the salesperson can specify the number of that particular product and the price sold to that customer.  Though I've looked at Jotform and other form submissions, it doesn't have the exact capabilities I'm looking for.  Is there a way to do this in the Airtable forms?  Is there another solution besides making my salespeople write it out in a paragraph?  Help!  @Developers Thanks! Hope you're having a great day!  🙂

Hello,I have a Base with a table called Controls (about 150 rows) and Assessments(10 rows).  I've got another table called Responses that links to both Controls and Assessments so that for every Assessment Record I get a copy of all 150 Control rows in Responses (so I can answer other columns uniquely for that assessment).  This all works great. The problem comes in that I'd now like to use the records in Responses for task management using Kan Ban boards or Ghant charts.  This works wonderfully for the records that are in already in Responses (Linked).  BUT, I'd like to ALSO be able to add some ad hoc Tasks that are not tied to records in controls.  These records could be different for every Assessment. I don't see a way that I can do this?  Am I missing something?

Hello everyoneI am looking for some reassurance on how to manage the risks associated with growing number of “Creators” in my base.There would be a operational and financial cost if a key field, table or base was deleted by accident (or by a disgruntled employee).“Interactive complexity” (multiple components interacting together e.g. here the links between fields/tables in the schema) and “tight coupling” (how close the dependencies are linked and the period of recovery e.g. filters are broken immediately when a field is deleted) means that there will inevitably be an accident over some period of time.We manage this risk by having highly centralised control of who can be a Creator (only me currently).When recovering in instances where a field is deleted, the options offered by Airtable don’t really help us:Snapshots would only allow returning to an older version but in an entirely new base (thereby not recovering the original base and it’s links to other integrations).Crtl z / back / A

I have a base I use for inventory tracking that refuses to open on my iPad. It used to work with some difficulty, but now selecting that base force quits the app after a brief load time. Has anyone seen this before/found a fix? I reached out to support a week ago and haven't heard back. I bought the iPad with the intent to take airtable with me, but it's not going as planned.

HI! I created a list of questions, and used the flashcard app to randomly select a question. This part works great. Is it possible to share this with my students? If so, how?

When I’m selecting from a list of options, I type the first few letters and smack the return key. More often than I’d like, I mistype a character or two and end up creating a new option in the list. How can I stop that? Thank you, friends.

Hi There, I’ve done an export from our website and want to import into Airtable. Most of the fields are fine but there is one field that I’d like to import as a Multi Select field but having issues. A sample of the (anonymised) data looks like: Apple~Chicken, Beef & Lamb~Rice~Pasta~Banana Peach~Pear Crisps, Chocolate and Sweets~Smoothie~Pineapple Cheddar & Stilton~Pancakes Pancakes~Apple~Peach Crisps, Chocolate and Sweets~Pasta For the above records I’d like them to appear as: There are around 50 variables for the multi select field and the data itself is around 10,000 records so want to get the import right! And whilst we are looking at the API for the future, in the short term we will have to do multiple imports to keep the data up to date. Advice welcome! Thank you.

Hiiii all, I’m using Airtable for my to lo list (or I’m trying to). I’ve got a number of projects that I’m working on, all with separate labels/kanban stacks. I’ve got what I thought would be an easy problem to solve, but I can’t figure it out. I’ve got a checkbox field for completed tasks and when I click that, I’d like the item to be moved to the ‘done’ stack (and assigned the ‘done’ label). For the moment I’m doing the compromised workaround of using a filtered view, which takes out anything that has a ticked checkbox, but this isn’t ideal. Is there any way of moving a record to a different kanban stack by ticking a checkbox?

Hi everybody,Im facing a pb with airtable for my business regarding Dates.Im selling cars, and each cars sold has a "sell date" which is a calendar column day - values monitored in Table 1In another table, Table 2, I have my monthly and quarterly objectives of sales. My main objective is to handle our performance, so automatically have an idea of a total monthly margin and quarterly generated margin, and where it stands vs Objectives. For this, ideally, I should have a "Month" column in Table 2 with a sum roll up that would automatically update if a new car with its selling date is created in Table 1.Example : I sell a car for 30k€ the 23d of january, i create the record in Table 1, and Table 2 would automatically update with January 2023, Q1 2023 and FY 2023 by +30k€. And hence all my interfaces of performance monitoring 🙂

Hey,Airtable upgraded this community forums, but I do not find any navigation now. Is it a plain, long list of posts?!I really loved the product update posts, but they seem to be gone, or hard to find. Am I missing something?

Hi I've been working a script that is supposed to be finding and merging duplicate records but while it can find and delete the duplicates it is not actually updating them and I don't know why. The console does not give me any error messages. If anyone can help figure that out it would be much appreciated. The code is looking for duplicates in a table named "Script Testing" and is looking for duplicates in the "Name" column. The code is as follows let processedRecords = [];// Get the table objectlet table = base.getTable('Script Testing');// Get all records from the tablelet queryResult = await table.selectRecordsAsync({    view: 'Grid view',    sort: [{field: 'Name', direction: 'asc'}],});let records = queryResult.records;// Loop through all recordsfor (let i&nbsp
