Is there a way to disable commenting on records? For what we do, the comment feature is not needed, and we have instructed our users to use a field in the base called “Change Note” instead, as that ties in with our integrations through Zapier whereas the comments don’t and the comments also stay forever. However, our userbase is not exactly the best at following clear and explicit instructions. So I’m hoping there’s a way to make it so that we can disable commenting, thus eliminating the temptation to not follow instructions to use the “Change Note” field.

So I have a custom app I am using, written in swift. I am trying to add records to one of my tables. But after doing some debugging I found I was getting the error: “Access-Control-Allow-Origin” = “*”. I did some research and found out it was a CORS error. And some light research and I am not sure really how to go about fixing this.

I have a database connected to Jotform and one of the questions on the form is a multi-select field that captures the user’s selection and this is then pushed into Airtable multi-select field. I need to split this field into separate columns. Ie: Col 1: Job category 1 | Col 2: Job category 2 | Col 3: Job category 3 (Selection will be limited to 3) I’ve tried searching for a formula or solution anywhere that would split the selection into separate columns but I can’t seem to find one that fits my goal? Is there a way to do this in Airtable or via Make (Integromat)? Any help would be greatly appreciated! And apologies if this has been posted before :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello. Please tell me about the green and red lines that appear when I open a record. I have an automation using webhook to get the information into Airtable when an appointment is made from the booking calendar. The text information of the booking details goes into one cell which is comma separated. (Automation up to this point) I then add a comma-separated formula to put the information into the other cells. However, even though I have not changed the formulas, I am getting an error that the commas are mysteriously delimited. When I check the difference, there is now a hyphen with a red line where there was not before, as shown in the screenshot. I don’t know why this is there. I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

Hi I have a form that users fill in for feedback of courses attended. In the form they can choose their name from a linked record in the table. I don’t mind them seeing other member of the course in the list as they have been with them on the course. The problem is that, because this is a linked record it shows other details i.e email addresses . How can I hide the other fields? i’m not sure where it;s reading from as I have set up a view and removed all other fields but it doesn’t change it

I’m using a Timesheets table to record employee timesheets. I’m then using an Employees table to rollup the ‘Time Worked’ durations. I only want to see the ‘Time Worked’ for today. I have my rollup conditions set as follows: “only show linked records from the Timesheets table that meet certain conditions: Date is today” However, I’m in Sydney Australia which is +10 hours GMT. I don’t see any way of offsetting this time (as it’s only a filter within a rollup field). How can I make the rollup filter ‘today’ line-up with Sydney’s ‘today’?

Hello- Is there a formula out there that if a cell is not blank or a specific option from a drop down is selected, a attachment is auto populated? Basically I need a static LOGO for my Interface Designer and right now the logo is dragged or added manually with each record in order for it to show at the top of my header. Thanks, SG

I’m wondering if it’s possible to create a field in a form that is “information only”. That is, it does not have a place for the user to reply or take action? e.g. I have created a registration form and I want to give some extra information about my event. But I do not need the user to choose an answer or give any input. I guess I am asking if there is something like a “null” field type.

Hello! I’m looking to create a “Daily Company Dollar Report” using interfaces. So far it’s been great showing projected and closed orders and revenue and popular servies… however, I just realized these will show “to date” records. We would like to look at this daily to see where we are for the month. Is there a way to filter the elements to show me records from x/1/2022 to x/31(28 or 30)/2022 to show THIS month’s status?? I see you can filter “in the past month” but if I’m on 6/15, that’ll show me data from 5/15-6/15 not 6/1-6/15. I don’t want to have to update the filter every month either… a “since beginning of the month” to “end of the month” would be GREAT, but I don’t see that filter or work around just yet. Thank you!

I’ve tried multiple times and I’m still stuck so I’m hoping this community can help. I have a bunch of tables in a base. The main one is called Leads & Clients. There is another called Waitlist which also has a form view. LC has a field called ‘status’ and Waitlist has a question asking ‘have we worked together before?’ I have it set up where a new form submission triggers an automation that creates a new client record in LC if one doesn’t already exist for that client or it just updates one that’s already there. And the automation links the two records across both forms. This is where I’m stuck… I want the status in LC to change to ‘lead’ if someone says no on the Waitlist form to the question asking if we’ve worked together before. Any insight?

Hi everyone, When looking at the data loaded by the airtable website, I see that at least a frame is loaded from Doubleclick.net: I’m surprised to have this advertising business loaded into a app like Airtable, which business model is not about personal data. Am I the only one concerned about this ? What is the doubleclick element purpose ? Thanks for your answers !

Hello Airtable Friends, Does anyone know how to have the actual ‘number of records’ amount show in the middle of the Donut chart block?

Let’s say I have a form integration connection to Airtable. When someone submit the form, an array of product IDS will be inserted into the product_ids field like [3294239423, 3873298293] (a long text field). Is there a way to use this array to lookup for products, using those ids?

Hi There, Seeking some assistance on how to use the rollup function. I have two tables, one where all the actual data exist ie number of opportunities, one line per opportunity. Can be multiple in a single day. We have a status column to indicate what stage the opportunity is at and in this case i want to rollup status “funded” for a date range…for example month to date. I have setup a table that has my forecast and for each day what the running MTD target is. What i wish to do is measure for each day the difference between Actual funded for the MTD figure against the forecast for corresponding period. Example setup is attached but is showing zero so not working. Look forward to hear of solutions. Cheers

Lets say I have two tables: Tasks Projects Tasks can be linked to one project. When I have a Project open, I’d like to navigate to a view of Tasks which is filtered by that Project. Preferably with one click. Is that possible somehow?

Hi, So I’m wondering how I would show a cumulative count using the Chart app. Currently the count of my variable is shown across the date on the x-axis, but instead of showing the count for each date, what I’d like to display is the cumulative count to better see the growth. Is there a straightforward way to do this? Thanks in advance

Inside Airtable (Pro Plan), I click on Help > Message Support. There is no form that pops up, but a blue square with an x pops up. I can click it and it disappears. In Chrome, I do not have pop ups blocked. Is there another way to message support? Thanks in advance.

Help! I have a project with a lot of people who need to view, so I have been sharing the publicly shared base view. Now it’s failing to work and saying “Login expired - please re-login.” (Sometimes it’s just saying “Invalid_Auth_Token.”) It’s the public link though, so it doesn’t need a login. Does anyone have any solutions for this or know why it’s suddenly happening? Thanks in advance! ETA: It turns out you can just move the error box to the side and use the base, so that’s what I’m telling my users to do. But super lame?!? Can anyone help me get rid of this bug?

I have a field that contains either a single date, or a list of dates separated by comma. 2022-08-21 2023-05-01, 2023-06-01 I want to create two formulas: One that extracts the first date and compare it to another One that extracts the second date and compare it to another To do so, I first need to extract the date, and that’s where I’m stuck at the moment. I tried IF( REGEX_MATCH(dates & '', '^(\\d{4}-)(\\d{2}-)(\\d{2})'), REGEX_EXTRACT(dates & '', '^(\\d{4}-)(\\d{2}-)(\\d{2})'), BLANK() ) But I don’t get the expected result: 2023-05-01, 2023-06-01 > returns 2023- (expected 2023-05-01) I used Regex101 which made me assume this would work fine, I also checked on the forum and tried many variations but I don’t get it.

Hello- Does anyone know of you can create a button that acts as a page jump to a specific record or place within the dashboard? Meaning: Button is clicked and then it automatically jumps via a preset filter to let’s say “Design Review”. By passing all of the other information that may not be relevant to me. Thanks! Scott
