I’m experimenting to see if I can make API calls to AirTable from the Swift programming language. I’m able to get the table fields, but I also want to update a field. That isn’t working. Are there examples anywhere?

I’m not sure if I’m missing something, or if it’s even possible. When I Import a CSV file. I would like to have it add to one of my columns that has a Multiple Select column type. So, for instance, if I have a Multiple Select column with the following fields: apples oranges peaches and in one of my rows the column it has: apples oranges and then i import the CSV, and the import has peaches the result would be that it would add peaches to the column. at the moment, it over rights the column. at least in my experiences. thanks for any advice. hope i put this question in the correct section.

Is there any way to hide the Button Title in the calendar view? It would simplify what our team members see in the field and take up less space. The buttons themselves declare what they are for - the title is redundant.

Hi Folks: Any structural advice would be helpful for this Airtable setup. Table 1: List of Judges (Name, Email, etc.) Table 2: List of Applications (Name, Email, etc.) Table 3: List of Groups (Group 1, 2, 3. etc.) that is linked onto Table 1 & 2 for assignment. I can see, of course, who is then been assigned into a group, but it’s difficult for the viewer to just copy out the emails for contact. QUESTION: How could I create a Table 4: Pulls it all together in a “Contact Sheet” for each group. I’d like a table that is sortable by Group but also allows the viewer to easily copy/paste emails out of. So, it would be a grid view. Note, I would like to keep the Judge and Applicants’ information on separate tables vs. combining into one. Thanks for the thoughts/advice.

I have been approved for the discount but every time I tried to pay/upgrade my plan, the regular rate is still appearing. What should I do?

A simple DATEADD is changing time. SET_TIMEZONE(DATEADD(date,moredays,'days'),'America/New_York') If it is because of daylight savings, does airtable recognize that and have a ‘fix’?

Hi, We are currently experiencing freezing issues in our bases (not just one but multiple) and from different browsers in different OSs (windows 10, MacOS high Sierra, Safari, Chrome, Firefox) where the browser hangs immediately after trying to edit a couple of records using expanded records. Is there anyone else experiencing this? it has only been happening today as the days before everything was fine. We tried removing browser extensions, and as mentioned, it is happening to different users of our team in different operating systems and computers. If someone has advice I would greatly appreciate it.

Here is a sample Airtable Lookup Test - Airtable Explore the "Lookup Test" base on Airtable. I would like Jobs::Total to show a sum of the Hours::time when Jobs::Work Order matches Hours::Work Order. How can I do this without manually linking each hours record? Thanks

I have Airtable integrated with a third party app, where all data collections automatically flow into Airtable. Two main fields that get loaded into Airtable are a user-entered Date and Time. I’d like to create a third formula column in order to add these two together to get a Date & Time Airtable field. Does anyone have any suggestions on the formula to use here? I’ve experimented for days with no success. Thanks in advance!

I am new to Airtable and I am setting it up to use for cataloging a personal collection. The PC version is working great but I am having an issue with setting filters on the Android App. Nothing happens when I hit “Enter Comparison Value”. Help!

I have create a simple BASE in my Airtable account. I now wish to use this within my website project. Therefore, I have generated an API key via my account page. Next I have visited REST API - Airtable then selected the BASE I have created. In my project I will be using the Javascript method to pull in the data from my BASE to my website. Within this Javascript I can choose Show API. However, as this Javascript contains my API key, I am concerned that it need to be set as Read Only. Therefore, I have visited the following article: Creating a read-only API key – Airtable Support to try and find out how I ensure my API key is set to Read Only permissions. This is where the documentation isn’t very clear or understandable. This article states, on section3,

Hi, I’d like to create a line chart that tracks my progress in writing a book. My goal is to write 90000 words in 180 days, which is 500 words a day. I have the Y axis (# of words) already set, but I can’t seem to figure out the X axis (see image below)… How can I complete this so that when I write my 500 words in a day, I add it into Airtable and it shows me progress towards that 90K word target? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am trying to automate a membership application form for a society that I am member of. I would like to embed the membership application form on a page of our society webpage, then when some fills out the form and submits it. The form would then automatically be sent to the board members for approval, and once every board reviewed the application, they would submit and it would be send the form back. Once the form gets approved by all board members the society would then have it’s online PayPal link sent to the applicant for payment. Once the applicants payment is sent and received, the applicants information would then be uploaded into our membership database. Once all that is automatically taken care of the one membership view (Active View) would be automatically uploaded to the membership list on the society webpage. Any help that anyone can provide would be awesome. Thanks, Zane

Can Forms have Pages… Multipage Forms for more complex forms?

Hello AirTable Community! Just starting out with AirTable and not very strong on the scripting side, so need some guidance. I have a table called Agreements, with columns; Client, Start Date, End Date and Amount. I’d like to create a Table (then a graph) showing the forecasted monthly revenue based on this data. So just a list of Month/Year with the Sum Amount. Hope that makes sense and thanks in advance. Chris B

Hi there! so we are a property management company and we have a Base for our portfolio. the first table is Properties and it has all of our properties: i can sort by view, filter, etc to get what i need My issue is that I have a checklist that i need to go through everytime i buy a property (water on, gas switched, cert approved, etc). I don’t want to add these columns to the Properties table since it is already so many columns. can i make a new table in the same Base and call it “Checklists” whereby it pulls all the properties listed from the Properties table? i don’t want to duplicate and have to type in properties in both tables. hope that makes sense!

Hi ~ I’ve been using AT for a couple of years now, and this is the first issue I’ve run into. When I go to form view, and upload a logo and/or header image, it will not show up (header) or appears “broken” (logo). I’ve tried all of the suggestions in help… what to do?! Crisis for me as I use the forms frequently. Thanks in advance!

I desire to reorder attachments from different table. Let’s assume We have .inc table like company A,B.etc. Besides, We also have financial statements table like A’s F/S 2021, A’s F/S 2020 A’s F/S 2019. etc. When I apply lookup, ideally attachments should keep their order following year. However, the attachments become messy like A’s F/S 2020, A’s F/S 2021, A’s F/S 2019. In that case, how can reorder it?

Newbee to automations here and would like to hear if I’m doing this right because it feels wrong :slightly_smiling_face: I added a couple of automations which change a status field based on conditions. So as “Action” I select “Update record”, select the table and record ID from the trigger. But then when I add the fields to be changed and I select the “Status” field (which is a Single Select field type), I just get an free type text field instead of a dropdown with the labels/options from that Status field. This seems to work fine as long as I type in the exact words/phrase used for the single select options, but if somewhere in the future someone changes the dropdown labels/options, this will then immediately break the automation without any kind of warning. (well it wouldn’t “break” the automation in the sense that it would still run, but the automation would just keep using the old label which could cause all kinds of unintended things). So… I

I have a table of tasks. Each task has a due date in a date field. I want to create a new formula field that looks at the due date and spits out: Upcoming Due Today Past Due Extra credit if the formula can spit out “Due Soon” when a task is 2 days away. How do I make this happen?

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to tackle the issue when a end user clicks on “Download CSV”, I would like to lock/ block the user from downloading the attachments type column as the CSV file captures URL links of all the attachments from the table. Thanks!

Does anybody know why the plus shaped “Add New Record” button, only sometimes shows on a table? On some tables it is there: And on some pretty identical tables it is not: I thought it might be to do with sorting, grouping, table permission, width of table. But they all seem to vary leaving me feeling like it’s totally random. Does anyone know the anwser to this mystery? Thanks Matt
