Hi folks I’m new in Airtable, how can I show last 24 handled records, suppose I have a “completed” status, so how can I view the only last 24 hours where a record became “completed” from another status (such as pending or in progress…)

Still a newbie, learning steadily. But now that I have 700 records, each with 10 or so fields, including 5 or 6 linked fields, I am mystified to how to update any one field in any one record. For instance, since my base is my records and inventory of vintage fountain pens, I sell a pen and need to update its status from For Sale to Sold. I find the pen in its group and make the change, and it changes the status for the whole group. I expand the record for that one pen, and it shows me that pen in its status, plus all the other pens with that status, so I can’t change that one pen’s status without changing all the others as well. AT won’t let me make the change right in the record/field cell in the base itself. What am I missing? Many thanks, Tim

Our journalism project is setting up a series of watchlists on an Airtable for monitoring groups of Twitter users who are public figures/institutions. Does anyone have an automated way of using the Twitter user ID or account URL to populate an Airtable with the public Twitter profile information (such as profile public name, bio/description, location, website, etc) and profile follower/following count/number?

Hi! A company I work with shared an airtable link with content (mp4 videos/ photos). I need to download these images and videos. I cannot find any type of download icon or button to click on the videos or photos on the airtable document. Please help! :slightly_smiling_face: TIA!

Hello, I want to add limits on my calendar view, so that I can add the opening time and the ending time of my office. I want this because sometime some tasks are planned for 6 hours, and those 6 hours are distributed between 2 days. Adding opening and closing limits to each day on my calendar will avoid having the 6 hours assigned to 1 day. Thank you.

Hello all! I would like to ask if anyone have an idea how to automate the following scenario or a formula. Eg. I have different strings like This is a Christmas tree. This is a Xmas tree I want to identify both the keyword “Christmas” and “Xmas” and tag them to a Multi-select option as “Christmas” Is there an existing formula or automation to this? Thank you all!

I’m currently using a four-step Zapier recipe to append the record URL to a newly created record. I’d MUCH rather just have Airtable do this automatically… Does anyone know if that’s possible (the key word is automatically, since I know how to do this manually)? As I discover something new about Airtable almost everyday, I’m wondering if I have just missed this functionality somewhere. Thanks! Jack

I am attempting to build a `table that with a “link to another record” field. The records that I need to link to are in multiple other tables. Is there a way to give this type of field the ability to link to records that reside in more than one table?

I have a Long text field type that can have a paragraph or multiple paragraphs depending on the length of the author’s numbered passage. It would be beneficial to me to have Airtable highlight that word so I can locate it faster in the entry.

I have 4 employees and myself who all track time in seperate bases within my workspace. They are contractors and so I don’t want to give them access to historical records and the workspace in general (because they aren’t employees). How do I ‘sync’ everyone’s records to one central master time sheet? I can’t use Airtable’s syncing because on the pro plan it only supports 3 syncs, and we have more than that but it doesn’t make financial sense to upgrade to the enterprise plan. I have also tried Zapier to no avail: the contractors occasionally edit old records & I want that to reflect in the master base, but in the Zap I created there was no way to update the old record while creating a new record for a new time & description entry. Any help would be appreciated, my brain is fried over this!

Hello Guys, I have a problem with one field getting synced in another place. This is field with lookup values by creating relation column. While syncing this particular table to another base, it only shows one value rather than all. So basically, it is showing unique value only once. Is this the bug or that’s how it works?

hey I shared a record. it went out by Airtable email. how can I see who was emailed later if I want to know the state that was sent? the only way I see going forward is to send the record to myself, vet it, and then forward it to the other party. weird that Airtable doesn’t just call your own email client how can I see who was emailed by Airtable??

My jira cloud app started to fail today and when I try to edit field, I found the following problem. Anyone face this issue? or what could be wrong?

Can a form respondent receive a copy of their form data? Can a form respondent subsequently edit their form data? I haven’t found a way to do either, so if there is a way, please point me to it :slightly_smiling_face: Many thanks for your help, Julie

Hi, I am new to Airtable, I have searched but can’t find the answer. I am importing a spreadsheet of about 2500 rows and am planning on adding more, new data. The existing 2500 have been proofed, but the new ones will not have. I want to add a check box and mark the 2500 existing ones to indicate they have been done, but don’t want o have to check 2500 boxes manually. Is there a way to set multiple items to checked? TIA

Hi Everyone, Thank you for reading my message ! I’m encountering an issue I don’t understand, as it should be pretty straightforward. Maybe one of you may help… The “Event” table is Linked to the “Invoices” Table, through the Invoice_ID’s linked record (see below) : An Event can have multiple invoices attached to it (as in multiple attendees). However in the above screenshot, the Invoice ID that you see IS NOT in the “Paid only Invoices” View, and appears anyway in the Linked record field which, as far as I understand, should not : My idea is to manage Event stock with Paid only invoices, so for me it would be very practical to have this information on this table. Thank you or your help with this ! Best, Da

Hi, If i wanted to import a database from Bubble.io that includes the users, is there a way to do this? Bubble doesn’t store passwords in the accessible part of the database (and that’s a good thing obviously), but I’m wondering if there is still some way to do this which doesn’t force all users to do a password reset? Thanks

I have an integromat scenario that does the following: When I get an e-mail I tag it in Evernote with a specific tag This triggers integromat to put the data from that email into a table called email updates One of the columns is the content of the email in HTML format. I then host a web portal via Softr which automatically adds the email added to the email table by using the HTML content in the airtable field. Although, none of the images work. Is there a way to make the images appear or perhaps remove the images completely from the email? Preferably make them appear! Thank you Best Wishes, Your Friend

Hi there, I am wondering if it is possible to use an AirTable formula field to take a list of city/state names: … and turn it into a new field representing the timezone that city/state is in. Or would perhaps my best solution be an IF(OR(FIND formula with a list of city/state names and timezones? Any help is appreciated!

Hey - two quick questions. When using the Map App, is it possible to remove markers for things that are not in my base? For example, when in light mode, I can only see my markers, but when in map mode, I can see other things like grocery stores and restaurants. I want some of the features of the map mode, but would like to hide the extra markers. Also, other than a screenshot, does anyone know how to export the map so it can be printed?

In the Help-Database, there is a description saying how to add records directly into the gantt-view by using click-and drag. This doesnt work for me; after having clicked and dragged, the square dissappears as soon as I let loose. Adding records by rightclick works well, but unfortunately doesnt add the group i click on, like it automatically happens in a grouped grid-view . Anyone having the same experience, or even better, a solution for me? (I have all rights to create records in the database and the view is my own. I work in the Windows-App.) Thanks, Peter
