Hi, Our client owns snaffle.com.au which uses Airtable to publish the products. As there is going to be a change in Airtable attachments according to the article (https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/4852449595671), we would like to understand the impact to our clients business processes and be prepared if it affects the business. Our client currently adds product and product images to Airtable and sync to our website. The uploaded images will be displayed on our website after that. Can you please let me know whether there is an impact to this process because of your change in November? Also, please provide any documentation that would be helpful for us to overcome the issue. Regards Venkat

I have two columns that I’ve inserted into Page Designer. They have similar content, but the column widths are different, and I can’t see a control to manage this. Is it possible/what determines how wide each column is? It can’t be random…?!

Please tell me what is the cost to join air table once the 13 day trial is over. I have a project I want to advertise, fundraiser for one tree planted…org but will not be ready for another 30-60 days. Please advise. And will need advice on sweatcoin. If I advertise on sweatcoin, does that mean I have to accept sweatcoin as payment for my products on my website, or can I just accept US dollars. Thank you Jamie

We have invited a collaborator. Later we removed from the base. But, again they have joined with the old link. How do we restrict them? And also, the private sharing doesn’t comes with email domain restriction. Hope it is in enterprise wide admin panel.

Hello everyone This is my first post here. We are facing serious limitations with airtable, related to limited access to data editing, f. ex for customers and employees. → its currently not possible to give a customer access to a view to import data, f. ex to place an order. We can’t create 1 base per client since we store related data in the base. → it’s currently not possible to give an employee access to a view to create / edit records, f. ex to create a timesheet. We can’t create 1 base per employee either. Looking around for a solution we found out that this problem has been addressed since 2018, and that miniExtensions products seem to solve those issues. Before we start using their products, I would like to ask if someone knows : does airtable plan to improve those features in short-term, (3-6month)? it seems they released a solution in the past but turned it off. If yes, it doesn’t make sense for us to develop a whole workflow based on miniExtensions I don’t understand why ai

How do I go about this in the Forms?

I’m trying to add a table element within a form, is this possible? On the form I’ve created, I want to allow users to add items to a table within the form. For context, the form will be a quotation, the table element needs to allow unlimited rows to be added, each row with several columns (Description, Quantity, Item Price, Total Price, etc). Is this possible to do without creating a link to a separate table elsewhere? Any help appreciated!

Hello all, new to Airtable. Trying to do something that would be pretty simple in sheets or excell. I want to count the number of occurrences a string appears in a column. Say, equipment in inventory, and counting the number of times that gear appears in the table to compare the number used to the number in inventory. In theory, I would love something like the “Count” column below. Where the name is the record, gear and quantity are referenced from another table. Name | Count | Gear | Quantity item1| 2 | apple | 2 item2| 1 | orange| 1 item3| 2 | apple | 2 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

All, I am attempting to add photos to an attachnment field that already has photos in it. An error appears after about 2 minute2 of loading “error uploading files”. The photos are small, all up maybe 2MB so size is not the issue. The internet is not dropping out. This is really shitting me! Also, same thing happens trying to upload a PDF. What is going on? Tried in Chrome and Edge (windows) - no luck.

Hi there, I have an issue as follow : We have a PostgreSQL database and we created Zaps to create a record in AirTable for each new entry. The issue is that when an item in the database is updated, it creates a new record in AirTable with the same ID. How can I proceed ? Should I use find and replace in Zapier ? I know it’s not an “AirTable problem”, but I think it’s a good place to ask. Thanks for any help.

We currently store user information in Postgres, and our team queries this information to display analytics for UTM links (current in Klipfolio) I’m looking to sync information between our Postgres DB and Airtable, where we can create a UTM link in Airtable and later pull in information (periodically) from Postgres to display user data originating from that link in a table. What’s the best way to do this where we can update the information regularly with minimal manual effort?

I don’t see the ability to sync field tooltip + title. it seems the fields can be modified post sync & don’t reflect changes? Can someone provide insight on behavior for this feature? Thank you in advanced.

We use Airtable for Work in Progress at our golf cart repair shop. We have numbered cones that we physically put on customer carts in for repair. My goal is to limit the number of units that come in for service to 20 units. I want to create a field on the service table that corresponds to the numbered cones. So I would match a service ID to a cone number. Ideally, I would like to use a single select and once I assign “1”, I would like that option to be unavailable for the other records on that table. Right now single select will allow me to keep selecting “1” for all of the records on that table. I also tried setting up the cones a separate table and using a linked field. That didn’t work either. Open to any suggestions! Thank you in advance!

Chart Blocks somehow baffle me. I have a table with a month per year (so 2018 - 04 april) for instance as records and per record I have stuff like FB total likes, newsletter total size, IG total size. I would like to have 1 block that has all 3 together as lines, but I can’t seem to figure out how. Am I doing it wrong or is it not possible with the table I made?

Hello, i create 5K PDFs every month: Digital Products, Invoices and so on. Now i start with airtable and search for a new tool to create PDFs automaticly when an entry is created or updated. We want to store the PDF in dropbox and link from airtable to the dropbox-pdf or other storages. Any idea which cheap and stable tool and plugin we can take? We work also with Make/Integromat in combination, so we are a little bite more felxible in the tools. I like the pricings from pdfshift.io (5k PDFs = 39$), PDFMonkey (6k PDFs = 30$) and api2pdf.com (5k PDFs = 4$) . I dont like documint (5k PDFs = 250$) Are there airtable plugins avalable or other solutions? Best regards Oliver

Hi guys We have several columns including ‘multiple select’ options within and wish to combine all these columns into one. Is there a way to do this across the entire table, or do we need to manually duplicate the options and then manually go through each record to combine everything? Many thanks in advance Harvey

Hi, Today I started noticing a change when displaying records in the calendar view. Now the record name shows every bit of information from all the fields that are not hidden when we expand the record to check more details. I wouldn’t want to hide all these fields in the expanded view in order to shorten’ the record name in the calendar view. Is there any way to restore it to the way it was before, to list only the name of the record no matter what fields are shown or hidden? I appreciate your help

It used to be that when you used a URL filter for a shared view, the viewer could remove it using the ‘Filter’ button in the view. Now it appears that they can’t. This is actually great for my current purpose, and I think great in general, but the documentation still says that it can be changed by the recipient. Can someone confirm? In the picture, the view shows all hours entered by employees into a timesheet. The shared view has a URL filter to show one specific employee. When you press the filter button, it says that the view is filtered, but doesn’t offer an option to change it. Again, I think this is actually a better way of doing things, but it doesn’t match the Airtable documentation notes.

Hi, I’d like to create a field that automatically fills in only some of the data from a multiple select field. For example, I have a field that records whether a therapy is long term/short term; and sometimes includes how many weeks long the therapy is. I’d like another field to automatically pull in the long/short term info but to not also include how many weeks long the therapy is. Thanks in advance!

In the preview when I’m making the gallery view, I can open up items linked in a section (e.g. Games made by the developer) and it goes to the corresponding record so you can see details (Like where to buy the game, image of the box art etc) but when I export it to view on the web, it’s not interactive any more. You can just open the gallery view for the developer, but the games just show as a list of text entries, and don’t link to the relevant games. Is this something you can do? I wanted to create an app and website where people can click through to see the details of games people have made… See the image for an example of what I want to happen, and how it shows on the website… How the app works in the preview when setting up the gallery view Website view

Hi, Is there a way to increase the amount of information shown on a card without having to open up each card individually? I have multiple Interventions matched to each issue yet only two interventions appear on each card in the Gallery view. Any suggestions?
