Hi there, First off please accept this in the spirit of genuine concern and not moaning or such. AirTable is an important part of my business, and indeed a joyful part of my life as a tool that gives me immense value. However, there are things that I am noticing that are starting to make me worried, and wonder if AirTable is going downhill. I’m worried about this because I had the same experience with Evernote. It was an excellent product for a long time, and then it stared going down hill. It’s now a worse product than it was at its place of best usage to me. AirTable was a very consistent product. That’s what I liked about it. But I’m starting to notice inconsistencies, and it’s really worrying me. Maybe I’m just getting itchy feet. I don’t know. Is anyone else feeling this?

Hi - is there any way to use the Org Chart with “co-managers” as you would in a family tree with two parents corresponding to “managing” a team? The Org Chart is a great feature, and it seems like this could be a natural extension of the functionality.

I have a base that I have configured for an event. At the event, we will collect ideas in real-time and enter them into the table. At the end of the event, I would like to be able to send out a form that allows participants to rank each listed idea in the table for at least two categories. Ideally, the form will have each idea listed with the ranking options below each one. Once participants have all filled out the form, I would like to be able to average all of the collected data. Do you know how to set up a form like this and configure my base to allow this to work? If not, do you have suggestions on other routes or programs to take? Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you in advance

Our employees are paid in multiple ways. First, the amount of Revenue they generate dictates Hourly Pay Rate for the week. We are able to import all revenue transactions from our CRM via .csv Revenue Report files. We have a chart that displays Hourly Pay Rate by Weekly Revenue level in the base as well. An Airtable form is used to capture timesheet entries from the field on a daily basis. The number of hours entered is applied to the Hourly Pay Rate to generate Straight Time and Overtime pay. Additionally, we pay bonuses for certain high value items that are sold (commissions are on another rate sheet in the base). Again, we use an Airtable form for field reps to submit bonus items that have been sold. Finally, in all situations, we are using DateTime functions to identify the Week of the Year for pay periods (Sunday through Saturday). So, all transactions include a Pay Period (Week of the year) in the records. All of this data is in the base in the follo

I am new to using Airtable and need help. I would like to have a user choose their name from a list in a table called (Inv by Rep) and then have a form or table populated with all of their records from another table called (Main Inv by Rep). When those records are returned, I want the Rep to be able to update the “Status” field and add a picture in the “Picture of Serial Number” field for just their records. I tried to link the tables by Assigned Rep, but in form view, I can just pick the name from the list, it doesn’t return any records. Is it even possible to do what I am trying to do in Airtable? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all! I’m wondering if it’s possible to set up a case sensitive Contains Filter on a single line text field in a Grid View. So if the Contains filter value was ‘Abc’, a row with the field containing ‘Abc123’ would be shown but not rows containing ‘ABC456’ or abc789’? Thanks! Steve

Hello all, I hoped to close a project that I worked on for a few weeks today just to realize that synched tables do not behave as I expected. Using synched tables, records get a new Record ID in the destination. My workflow works a lot based on (pre-filled) forms. Now how can I pre-fill a form with a record from a synched table? Cheers Christoph

Hi. I’m creating some new documents in the Page Designer block. Some fields that I’m referencing from my base do not always have data in them. Airtable is putting “lorum ipsum” placeholder text when the field is empty. Is there a way to turn this off so that it’s just blank? I created similar documents before and I don’t recall having this issue. Is the placeholder text a new “feature”? Thanks! ~ Geoffrey

I’m trying to create a script in Airtable linked to a button. The process is as follows: Button within Airtable pressed If the checkbox field ‘switch’ is false, then turn it to true Wait for 2 seconds, reset the field to false This is the script I’ve written using the setTimeout() function: let table = base.getTable("EXM"); //The name of the table you're in here let record = await input.recordAsync('Pick a record', table); if (record) { if (record.getCellValue("switch")===false) { table.updateRecordAsync(record, {'switch': true}); output.text('checkbox ticked'); } const myTimeout = setTimeout(timeDelay, 2000); function timeDelay() table.updateRecordAsync(record, {'switch': false}); output.text('2 second interval'); } When I write the code I get an error that says “cannot find name setTimeout”. As a solution, it suggests “add missing functio

I’m having trouble with something that seems very simple. I’d like where it says “0.9 available” for it to show that time formatted as “h:mm”, as it does in the “Time Available” field next to it.

Thanks so much.

Hi! I am trying to add internal links on my blog that I am managing via Airtable used as a backend CRM. I fetch the blog posts via Airtable API but Airtable always prefixes “http” on internal links, so “/about” becomes http:///about. It’s really puzzling that this is not natively supported and there’s no workaround it seems like such a common use case! I’ve also tried a normal Markdown syntax but, as the docs say, hyperlinks Markdown is not supported in Rich Text Fields (??!!!). Does anyone have any workarounds?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has ever made a bundles. I want to take about 10 different Items with 10 of each and have it still subtract out of my inventory. I would like to have it work as following: if we use 15 of the bundles it would subtract out 15 X10 of each. This is for Simulation training so we have 6 different Cohorts that will be using the same bundles. What I have will work I just have to enter every Item for each time I use it. Hopefully one of you can help? Thanks
