Hi there,I have created a survey using Airtable and then an automation which triggers an email to be sent once the survey is completed. It's all working great. However, I don't want to save, store or have access to the information that is inputted into the survey. I just want people to be able to complete the survey - which will automatically generate the desired email and send it out on their behalf - but without me as the creator having access to their answers. Is that possible?Many thanks in advance!Rose

Thanks to Adam_TheTimeSav and his post Solved: Re: How to make a colorful kanban board - Airtable Community I have installed Tampermonkey and changed the background color of my Kanban board.I would like to go further and change colors for tasks and stacks. Where can I find Airtable documentation on the various options to do this and other things I might like to do in the future? In the script to change background color I findGM_addStyle('#kanbanView > div.white { background-color: aliceblue !important;Where does #kanbanView and others come from and what can I do with them?Where does div.white and others come from and what can I do with them?What options are available such as background-color?What does !important mean?I'm an old-timer who's been programming for decades. I think I can figure out how to do what I want to do if I could find documentation. For starters, I'd like to change the background color of stacks to match the listname. Hope this makes sense

We are a marketing firm that manages social media calendars for many clients. We love the platform for building the calendars and sharing amongst our team BUT sharing the calendars to the clients for approval is an actual nightmare that I can't solve. 1. We have too many clients to add them as paid collaborators and not be super cost prohibitive2. Sharing the view-only link does not allow them to even add comments if they have edits or comments 3. Sharing via email has been confusing for them and many of them can't seem to figure it out 4. Downloading as a CSV requires too much time in reformatting to make sense How are you delivering your social media calendars to your clients?

In the blog post about the new button feature, there is a use-case where a button is being used to add a new line item under “run a script”. See gif below: If I open the Product Catalog template, I’m able to extract most of the code, however it is missing the part where it gives you the option to another line item or select “done”. Is someone able to help me add that to the existing code below? Thanks! let lineItemsTable = base.getTable(‘Order line items’); let clientOrdersTable = base.getTable(‘Client orders’); let furnitureTable = base.getTable(‘Furniture’); output.markdown(’## Add a line item’); let clientOrdersRecord = await input.recordAsync(‘Pick a client order’, clientOrdersTable); if (clientOrdersRecord) { let furnitureRecord = await input.recordAsync(‘Pick a furniture item’, furnitureTable); if (furnitureRecord) { let quantity = parseInt(await input.textAsync(‘Enter the quantity’), 10); let recordId = await lineItemsTable.createRecordAsync({ ‘Belongs to order’: [{ id: clientO

Dear Airtable Community,We are evaluating if Airtable were a great choice to store our knowledge base. Until now, I was pretty convinced, but now I came across a pretty strange phenomena. We have a database of relevant articles, where we have a field for the type of media and one for tags.When I search for "Resilienz" I get 126 records (see screenshots) in the relevant table. And out of these results most of them have the media type "Artikel".However, when I then search for "Resilienz Artikel" I only get one Article (see screenshot). How is that possible?Either this is a very strange bug or the search is really basic as it cannot search through multiple columns at the same time? Also, if I use the syntax from here https://support.airtable.com/docs/search-extensionusing "stichworte: Resilienz medientyp: Artikel" I get even zero results (see screenshot). Does anyone know what is going on here? 

Hi, I created a form for simple data entry and am including a “Created time” field so users will not have to manually fill in the date the form was submitted. The issue is, I also have legacy data from an old system that I want to import into the same table as the form submissions so the old data and any new data can be analyzed as a whole. This old data is organized by date and those dates are important to retain. When I add any old data into the table, the Created time field auto-fills to today’s date and I am unable to change it to the correct date. Are there any solutions for maintaining the Created time field, but also maintaining the correct dates for the old data? The only option I’ve thought of is converting the Created time field to a Date field, but that would mean anyone submitting new data via the form would have to manually enter the date. Thanks in advance! Colleen

Hi I've created a script block that uses an API to fetch data from a source, the returning sources gives me a list of possible matches with a few data points I can use to check against. I'm giving the user the option to identify the match and see if it is the right resource, and I'd like to include an image as part of the search results.When I use the markdown to produce an image, I get a rather large .jpg. I have no control over the size of the images, nor do I have the option to find a thumbnail version, it's this or nothing. I've seen some options to include an `<img />`, but the `output.markdown` sees it as a string and not an HTML tag. I'm starting to get the feeling that this is just not possible, any help here would be great. Thanks.

Is there a way to have the interface designer allow moving rows around? I have been working on a pretty extensive interface design. Moving an entire row and/or selecting multiple fields at once to move. This would save me a lot of time when rearranging the interface to meet my end-users' needs.

Hi everyone, I am trying to simplify the record ID function output as I don't need a complex unique ID. 2 solutions:- Is it possible to limit the record ID function to 4 maximum digits ? - Is there any other function that will generate a unique ID composed of 4 digits with the random choice of number and/or letters ?Thank you 😉

I would like to create an extension that will generate mock data using the faker.js library.I would want it to ask me which table I want to generate the data & how many rows (maximum 50 due to the limitation in Airtable).It should also exclude the autonumber field it any formula field.I would like got it to ask me which days type to generate for each field if possible.I created an extension & tried running it locally but I don't know much js & could not actually get it to do anything.

I have a multi-select field in my base. I want to create a form that has one of the selections checked when they open the form but allows people to select additional choices.

Hi - Our warehouse is a third-party service provider. Whenever they receive our product, we’d like to have them log one field within a single view. However, much of the Airtable is confidential information that the warehouse frankly does not need to see. Is there a way we can restrict or provide viewing/editing permissions for a specific table or specific view within a table? If not, what’s a good workaround? Thank you.

Is there any way today when filtering to have a dropdown or typeahead interface when selecting values on a column that is a link to another record? It’s a bad UX to only be able to type and string match on those values, especially when it might be populated by a small list of items that could work simply like a dropdown.

My work account suddenly came up deactivated. Our admin did not deactivate it. When they try to send me a new invite, it says there is an active account already in use with my email. I cannot create a new account for the same reason. When I try to reset the password, it says my account is deactivated. This has been DAYS of lost work for the University of Ca. No one on my end knows what to do. And there is no way to get ahold of a support human. Please help.

Hi All. I believe I know the answer to this, but I wouldn’t be doing my due diligence if I didn’t ask the community. User wants to have a form that will provide entry into multiple records. FORM would look like this; Date: 20180410 Name: Joe Bloe Product: Banana, Apple, Pears OUTPUT INTO TABLE would look like this; Date/Name/Product 20180410 / Joe Bloe / Banana 20180410 / Joe Bloe / Apple 20180410 / Joe Bloe / Pears Can this be replicated?

Hello! I am trying to link records with the same ID and I can’t figure out how to do it in buik - only one by one which is impractical for my purposes. Essentially, I have a table (“Forms”) that contains student usernames and the forms they submitted, and I’m using the username as the record ID, so multiple, identical record IDs exist for all the different forms a particular student submitted (i.e. Username1 - Form A, and Username 1 - Form B are listed in different rows). The ideal result I am picturing is that, in my main table, I could use a ‘link to another record’ field that links to the Forms table, I would paste the usernames in this field, and then I’d have a lookup field which would display all the forms that correspond to that username (i.e. for Username1’s linked record, the lookup field would display “Form A, Form B”). However, when I set this up, it’s only displaying the first form that exists in the Forms table, and it only works the way I want it to if I one by one add re
