I have the pro version of Adobe for availability to fill and sign documents. (Pro Version for Airtable too) However, the program only allows me to email the document to a person needing to sign. Is there an easy way to upload fillable/signature documents in Airtable? We have a shared table that has all forms employees need to complete and most of them use their phones and are not able to complete or sign these forms. It’s becoming to be more painful than helpful.

Hi everyone, We have an interesting use case for our company. I am almost 100% certain that what I want to do is impossible to achieve with JotForm, Airtable Forms, Softr Forms and miniExtensions forms. I have a record. The record’s fields are as so: Name, Selected Option (linked field), Type. I am trying to create a form where: a) Selected Option is filtered by the Type field (the selected option record has the same type field which I keep updated so the single select options match) b) The dropdown box in the selection field not only shows the name of the linked field but also an image associated with that linked field in airtable. An example of this would be: Record A Name: Wall Colour Type: Colour Selected Option table has a bunch of records like Blue, Red, Green, Rough Brick, Stainless Steel. It also has a type. I want the Selected Option linked field to only show Blue, Red or Green, since those linked rec

i’m trying to connect a base from airtable to notion via make. i managed to do everything right but on notion, in a files & media property the file is loaded as an attachment and not as an actual file - i can’t figure out why and this way i can’t use that property as a cover in the gallery view. has anyone experienced something like this before? thanks!

Hello,Following the change of URL logic on Airtable, we encounter a problem. We use a database to create eBay listings. So we have a field for image URLs. We use these URLs at the last moment so no problem for the experimentation of this one. But the number of characters of the supplied URLs has increased enormously (about 230). And eBay has a character limit for images of 4000, so we can't add as many images as before. It's a big problem. We don't want to pay for a new third-party service to make URLs shorter yet. Is it a fatality or does someone have an idea to save us?Have a good day,Romain

Anyone using the Monte Carlo simulation method to calculate completion times of tasks and projects?

Hi everybody,I don't know why but either if I give an editor view to some colleagues, they cannot add fields, fill a form.The error is " cannot accept submissions because only some collaborators can create new records" The problem is that there are no restrictions to this tab and some people are editors.How can I do? Thank you so much

We would like to use Airtable to present information that people can browse online, but can’t copy to external text, so the ability to disable Copying is ideal. However, I haven’t been able to figure out if it’s possible to also disable the “Print view” feature. Users can copy the information by printing to PDF then copying the text from the PDF. Is there any way to change this?

Hello there!  New to AirTable.  On a small website  I have a small Contact Form that is populating data into my table inside of AirTable.  It's all working just fine in a local site (not live yet, but it works)  I only have a few fields, which are getting returned to am email notification automation, but the fields are all showing up in the email notification all squished together and look like this:    Pennyinfo@info.comI'm stuckmondayMy fields are:  Name, Email, Message, and BestDay   So, you can see that the info IS getting to me which is great but how can I get the fields to at least show on a different line in the email I receive?  It's too hard for me to read ;-)!I understand how to use markdown for the rest of the body of the email, but not understanding how to format the actual 'data' that is coming in to me via a contact form on my site after it lands in AirTable?

I'm in the free plan -- can I add another person to work on my projects with me? Thanks.

Hello,Our organization produces lots of content and I need a way to:1. Assign a pool of different writers their assignments and be able to use an interface to give feedback through the development and approval of each piece of content2. Every new assignment then needs to live in a main repository / master “base table” A few thoughts:1) I’m thinking the article assignments are entered in a separate table for the writers, yet the master base table should have insight into it as well.. Not sure how to proceed. : ) 2) in addition to me assigning topics to the writers, I also need the writer form to be able to accept pitches from writers so they will need the ability to enter in content into the form as well.  3) And then when the writers click “status” = “submitted” can Airtable then send me an email notificatio

Hey all,I have a workspace for my business & all staff are logged in under their company emails. Could someone still setup a new login & transfer a base out to their personal login somehow? Does not appear to be able to, but need to be sureI know the security is lacking with Airtable on this front & need to protect IP.

Hi This has worked for me for over 18 months and now it fails. The code is within an automation script block. The code window shows a strikethrough line in “selectRecordsAsync” and the tip suggests this method is deprecated. Any ideas why and what alternative I have please? let mgl_allocationsBase = base.getTable(“allocations”); const mgl_allocationsBaseRecords = await mgl_allocationsBase. selectRecordsAsync(); Thanks Claire

I’m trying to view an Airtable calendar on Outlook. FYI, we run an exchange server; I can access email and calendars via the desktop app (Microsoft Outlook for Mac v15.40) or OWA (Outlook Web App). I tried subscribing via this method: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/import-or-subscribe-to-a-calendar-in-outlook-com-cff1429c-5af6-41ec-a5b4-74f2c278e98c It produces no results (the calendar is empty). I’ve tested the same link in Google Calendars and Apple Calendar, and it works without issue. I’ve tested other calendar subscriptions in Exchange, and they all seem to work properly. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hi, I’m wanting to know if its possible to have a single extension access multiple bases concurrently? My situation involves analyzing more than 50k records at a time and generating a graph based on those records. I will have 15+ bases and each are identical in structure. Each base has 50k records (pro plan). General structure of those bases is listed below (or you can see the base directly). The bases I am sharing just show a few rows (not 50k) to make this problem easier to review. I know a synced table is what would generally allow you to sync multiple bases into 1. I’ve confirmed if I do that I can achieve the desired graphs/extensions in a single base (provided the record limit is not exceeded). But even with a pro plan I am limited to 50k records for the base, even if those records are synced. So this is not feasible. Is there an alternative way that would work better? Right now I am considering using a local database to host and store my raw data.

Hello everybody,After using the new community UI for some time, a couple of questions/suggestions have come.Is it reasonable to use such a large font in a blue stripe? What is the purpose? When I'm writing a new post it says New Message, covering a fourth of the screen.That's how much space a header takes At the same time editor area is tiny and is not expandable when you are in reply mode (at least in Chrome browser) Earlier I could stay signed in forever, however now I need to sign in at least daily.Sorry to sound too rude, but these things reduce my enthusiasm to bring something useful to the community. Does anybody agree or it is just my problem?

Hello Guys, Thanks for reading this and taking the time to help me out :slightly_smiling_face: I’am trying to customize my project management table and more precisely to implement a budget line. Thing is that the budget is not a fix number but a range. When i try to use the currency or the number field i’am stuck with only one possible number. Could you help me to fix this ? Cheers

I am having trouble figuring out how to remove collaborators that have already been deleted from the account from showing up in drop-down menus (field type = collaborator) when assigning projects. We only have 3 active users on the Team, but all the old team members over the past 4 years that have been removed from the account still show up in the drop-down menus when assigning projects. How do I remove them?

Hi Airtable community, I’m currently collaborating with the rest of my team, and we depend on specific column names being present in a given table for some of our workflows. However, as our team has scaled more staff have begun changing the column names to better reflect the business case, which has caused issues with our downstream work. We don’t know what column is named what anymore! Is there a place where I can see the revision history of a table’s columns, rather than just the revision of individual records? In particular, the changing of names, field types, and so forth. Thanks!

Hi!!! I’m wondering if anyone has created anything resembling a Campground Reservation system using AirTable. Seems like it could be done relatively easily and I’m trying to help out a family owned campground with this project. I haven’t seen anything specific to campground reservations but I have seen some similar things here in the community. Can anyone point me in the right direction to help me get a jump start on this? I would surely appreciate it. I’m new to AirTable but I have a programming background. Thanks!!!

How do I zoom in on an image added to the attachment field?I have a large screenshot of an email that I want to leave annotations on. Because of the length of the email, the text ends up being extremely small and difficult to read. I'd love to be able to zoom in.

In the new Community app, is it not possible for authors of posts to edit their posts after they're published? Added 1 minute later: Hmm. I just now looked at the Comments Options and I found an Edit Post command. But that command isn't there for a post I published just a short while ago? What's the difference? Do I get just 120 seconds to edit it or something like that? 

I can't login to the Airtable app on my phone. I am able to enter my email, but the password seems to be filled out already and I can't delete whatever is in there. Whatever password is being entered it is invalid. I can't delete, cut, or remove whatever is in the password field. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but it still won't let me enter a password. 

I am using fluent forms to push data to Airtable using a Text Area input to push data to Long-text field type with and without rich text formatting.So I am getting an issue with these tags (see screenshots)Is there a way to remove them via Airtable? i am not an expert, so any guidance will be appreciated.Thanks!

Hi everyone,I've got 4-5 different calendars that I'd like to see in one place.2 of the calendars are tables in the same base2 are in other bases.Is there a way that I can see all of these on the same Gantt or timeline or calendar view.It is my understanding that I need to have all of the dates in the same table. I see how to sync the external tables into one table - let's call it the "master calendar table".Here is where I get stuck - I'm not sure how can I sync the tables from my base into the "master calendar table." Is there a way to sync a table in the current base or create a new record in a synced table and use a look up field? Any other ideas on how to get all 4 tables showing up on one calendar.  Is it possible to use an interface to see dates from multiple tables on one calendar? I like the
