Hiya! New user here, so forgive me if I’m being silly! I’d like to limit character input into forms to a certain length (let’s just say 32 characters for argument’s sake). The proposed form is for clients who want to submit product descriptions to an app (hence the need for character limits). Now I could go through and check each one individually, but it’d be great if I could just set a limit warning instead. I read this previous post: https://community.airtable.com/t/limit-characters-in-long-text-field/7353 but it still doesn’t solve the client-facing form issue. One thought I had was another app integration? I haven’t checked if this is possible yet, although I suspect I’ll fall into the same character limit problems. Has anyone got a suggestion or a neat way to make this happen? I’d be much obliged! If you don’t think it’s possible, please leave a comment saying so - it’d be great to know either way!

I'm creating a form and need to create some conditions to separate our large inventory into categories.  When I create the form view from the data table screen, and run a test the dropdown looks like the first snip below and appears to enter the data sheet with all of the correct information.  When I add a new field and link to record, choose the same table, set up the conditional formatting and run the test, the dropdown looks different (second snip) and all of the information goes into the data table except for the name.  As far as I can tell they are set up exactly the same way, the only difference is the Product ID field is automatically entered when I create the form view.   Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or how I can properly duplicate the product ID field?  

So I have a table called Investors. Say there are 300 records here. And I have a table called Companies. Say there are 100 records here. And I have a tabled called Individual Investments. It’s the intersection of Investors and Companies. An investor can invest in any deal they choose and invest any amount. So I might have, say, 2,000 records here (but obviously I wouldn’t have more than 30,000 — which would be if every one of the 300 Investors invested in every one of the 100 companies). In the Individual Investments table I list the Investor, the Company in question, and the amount they invested. We’d like to send a report to each investor that lists all their investments and how much they invested. I once figured out how to put this together in the Page Design block and I’m sure I can muddle my way there again (or come here for help) but I also want to email out this report as a PDF. And not just one big report showing all 10 investors what all 10 invested in, but a customi

Hello! First time user of Airtable, so bear with me:grinning: I have a Long text field that I am trying to limit the number of characters entered into it. From reading the the posts, it looks like that is not possible, correct? In another members post they suggested using LEN and COUNT, but I’m not sure how to implement it. From what I’ve figured out so far is that I would need to create another field (a formula field) to count the number of characters (including spaces) from another field in the same record. So, let’s say my long text field was named Product Description. What would be the formula entered (in the new formula field) to do a count of characters? Also, would the character count show in the new field and change as I’m typing in the product description field? Or if there’s another way… Thanks! Sue

Hi there,I wonder whether there’s a way to bulk print selected records with a page designer template. Currently there’s only a way to print either current record or records of a specific view. The problem: When the view contains more than 30 records it ends up in a browser freeze. So I wonder what possibilities does the community see to solve that. Thanks for your help,Florian

I have 2 rollup fields in a table that are formatted to show ARRAYUNIQUE(values). I am trying to create a formula column that combines these values in an array, and only displays unique values. I was trying to use: ARRAYUNIQUE({Rollup1},{Rollup2}), but am only getting the values from Rollup1 to show up. Help?

Hello,Am wondering if there is any way to have a table in page designer be dynamic in size?  We would like to use page designer to generate invoices, but some clients have only a couple of lines while others have 15-20.  The biggest current issue are the large invoices that have too many rows to fit into a one-page table.  Right now, it just gets cut off. Is there a way to extend the table to a second page?In an ideal world, my total price, etc. fields would be at the bottom of a table that only is as tall as the number of rows in it, whether it is 3 rows or 30.  Thoughts?Thanks,Alex

Hi, my staff are grouped in 3 areas. Central, West and East. Each team has a deputy manager (DMs) and a manager (Ms). It's important that DMs and Ms can not see records of staff that are not in their area. Does airtable allow you to set up granular permissions?Also how can you stop deputy managers seeing the managers or ceo records?Thank you

Hi all! Did Airtable recently push out an update or changes recently?  Many of my users appear to have lost user admin rights with no change on our end to facilitate that.

Hi, wonder if I can relate data in different workspaces. Or it will be completely separated?

Hi, I am using the Typeform integration and one question (single select) has 750 options. In Airtable: It is possible to massively add options to the single selection or multiple selection. Instead of paste it the 750 options one by one. thanks

The bases I create are labeled “External” (even after accepting my Organization's invite) and lack the same functionality as bases created by the Big Boss. Are there currently settings that ensure bases created by users within the organization are internal (and benefit from the functionality associated with our price plan)? Would changing my permissions level from “Creator” to “Owner” make a difference? I guess I’m confused that a user can belong to an organization, yet the bases they create do not. Put another way, in practice, every user other than the Big Boss is individually on the “free” plan and creates only stripped-down “External” bases. I'm told we're in the process of migrating from Teams to Business. Will that remedy this? It doesn't make sense to me that only one person has full functionality, regardless of number of users in the plan. I don't have access to the organization's settings. Are the ones with access simply overlooking something?I appreciate any clarity provided.

Hello! I’m trying to make a templated onboarding document that we can easily update with information fed from Airtable. Here’s the direct use case (Integrations are generally off the table in a corporate security setting): Hire Roster (lives in Airtable, holds new hire data) Microsoft Word/GDoc/OneNote (whatever!) that is complete with specific fields waiting to be fed new hire data, will serve as new hires’ onboarding document. Is there a way to automate the process of filling out a document without manually doing it?

I have an excel file that we currently filter by 3 to 4 fields to come up with a price for an item for vehicles. We filter by Year, Make, Model, and then for certain products, we also end up filtering by other parametes, but I’ll use size as an example. I am trying to create a form where instead of having to exit and go to the excel sheet, a person could potentially do the following: Select year → this should provide the filter for the next question and only return Brands for those years When they select a make, it should filter the next question to only show models for the selected brand. When they select model, if there are 2 models, it should bring up the size field for the next question, if there is only one model, it should bring up the ID for that specific model in the next question. After it brings up the correct ID for that model, it should show the only price option for that ID. I know I can import an excel file, but I’m not sure how to get it to let me make a form that filt

Is there a way to customize airtable form based on the user. I have a dropdown box that is selected by the person, then it shows the applicable questions based on the drop down. Is there a way to autofill in the dropdown based on the user filling in the form.  I need to keep all of the questions in one form for convenience. What would be the best way of doing this.  The reason I need to do this is because each person is required to fill out a form each month, selecting a name then shows what forms a person has not completed yet. Thank you 

Is it possible to have 3 kinds of fields in gallery view on a shared link? To clarify I want - 1- The fields displayed on the card 2- The fields you can see when clicking on the card, that aren’t displayed in the card view. 3- Fields that can not be seen unless you are the owner (i.e. me) and logged in. I’m using Airtable for a coin collection and want to have a field for price paid, but I don’t want that to be public knowledge, yet I want to make my page publicly accessible for research purposes.

What happened to PageDesigner?!?!?! I have been using the same extension for three years to print a two-page per record document. The page is set to be the size equivalent of two, portrait 8.5x11 pages. All of a sudden, yesterday, I opened up the Extension that holds my document and the entire second page was missing. The fields were there, but the white background was missing. I reset the page size to accommodate the length of a two page document. All appeared to be well, but when I went to print it, it only prints the second page of one record in the view. Any insights would be greatly appreciated

Ideally what I’d like is for the “page designer” block to have the ability to share its output automatically with different recipients who don’t have Airtable accounts themselves. I have a large base that is used to process reports that come in from forms. Each record is an individual report, which I can build into printable pdf using the page designer. But the only way to share these is to download each individual pdf and then send it by email. I would like to be able to automate this process, i.e. once a report is complete, the document generated by the page designer is automatically shared with a given recipient. Is this possible through Zapier, or any other platform? I’ve looked at a few google sheets add ons but I’m not sure they’re what I’m after. Thank you in advance for your advice! :slightly_smiling_face:

I followed this tutorial video to the letter (https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/115013405168-Page-designer-app-overview) yet Page Designer won’t print/PDF multiple records on a page. My records are short — about one-eighth of a page per record — and I have 25 records. It’s ridiculous that my PDF is 25 pages. Can someone please help me stop the madness???
