How do I get TODAY() to return today’s date in my time zone?

As I typed this, it was 11/17 2:45 pm in my time zone (PST = GMT - 8). What I want is to get a field that return what today’s date is in my time zone. I have tried the following fields: TODAY ( ) – GMT contains the formula TODAY () with “Use the same time zone (GMT) for all collaborators” toggled on in the formatting tab TODAY ( ) – not GMT contains the formula TODAY () with “Use the same time zone (GMT) for all collaborators” toggled off in the formatting tab TODAY ( ) using SET_TIMEZONE contains the formula DATETIME_FORMAT(SET_TIMEZONE(TODAY(),‘America/Los_Angeles’),‘MM/DD/YYYY’) (with no option to set formatting available): What I get is the following (again, when it is 11/17 2:45 pm in my time zone (PST = GMT - 8)): TODAY ( ) – GMT: 11/17/2020 12:00am TODAY ( ) – not GMT: 11/16/2020 4:00pm TODAY ( ) using SET_TIMEZONE 11/16/2020 Note that when it was 12:00 am on 11/17 GMT time, it was indeed 4:00 pm 11/16 in my time zone (PST).

Show Which Conditions Met to Reveal Field

Hello,My team uses forms to enter data into our Airtable bases. For one form, we have a multiple line field that appears only if one or more other fields are selected. It would be helpful to know why the conditional multiple line field appeared.Is there any way to show which fields caused the conditional field to appear on the form?

Can't unlink accounts to set up a new fresh base/billing system

HI, Currently I have a work account which is paying for airtable. I’m now using it for a personal project and have added collaborators who are being billed to my work account. I need to transfer ownership to a new account and start paying for the base and associated collaborators through this new account (or just use the free plan there, not sure what we’ll need yet). I can’t seem to get it to work though! If I try to add the new email address (even on a different browser) it keeps logging me in on my original account. Any tips on separating it all out? Thnks Jenny

Bulk update (append) linked records without deleting existing linked records

I have Two tables. People and Groups. The groups table is used for an assortment of things in our organization. So most everyone is a part of 3-20 groups. My problem comes when I need to add more than 30 or so people to a single group. Bulk adding overwrites all of the varied groups that a person is in and i can’t find an angle to add more than one person at a time to the group without overwriting all of that person’s existing groups. I’m attempting to create an automation that I can use a view that automatically appends a person to a group but I’m thinking there has to be a better way. Any insights?

Scrolling bar getting stuck with mouse mouvements (bug?)

Hello everyone! :wave: I would like to know if I am the only one getting crazy about this… is it a bug?? VERY often, when I move the scrolling cursor up and down in my list, then let it go, it still keeps following my mouse up/down movement (while losing my position). I then have to find the record line again and click the cursor again so it finally let it go. I had this problem on the horizontal scrolling bar too. I haven’t seen this problem in any other software that I use, and it is time and nerve consuming!! I hope I am not the only one… I would then report it as a probable bug! That said, another point on those scrolling bar: they are uselessly too thin, aren’t they? It is often hard to see and catch them. I understand that it is probably to make AT looks good (it does), but it is not practical. I would prefer a good classic and ugly but efficient scrolling bar. Anyone thinking the same? Thank you all :slightly_smiling_face:

Printing address labels

I run a small non-profit and we use Airtable to track all of our donors/volunteers/etc. I want to do address labels for a mailing. We currently have the columns set up as First Name, Spouse Name, Last Name, Street Address, City, State, Zip. Is there an easy way to print labels from Airtable? If the best way is to export, then how do I get around that my columns are too specific (ie I need First, Spouse, Last name to be one line, and City, State, Zip to be one line). Thanks!

Disappearing screen toggle

I got back from vacation and opened my airtable mac desktop app and it looks really different. I’m having an issue with the bottom of my screen. I have lost the left to right toggle bar so I cannot move between columns in a view. The bottom of the entire screen looks cut off. I have tried everything - deleting and reuploading the app, restarting my computer (x 2), zoom in, zoom out, full screen… nothing has worked. Does anyone know how to fix this issue as I am currently unable to work on the bases due to this? Also anyone know how I can get the older version back? Is that possible? When I go to a base, I see I know have “omni” as an AI helper and when I go to the my account it says my appearance is “beta”.  I really need help figuring this out. Thanks, Katie

How to Reset 429 Error | Too Many Requests

I'm running a handful of automations with Zapier and am now getting a 429 error for too many requests.I've turn off EVERY automation related to AirTable. Nothing has run for 4 days. But I'm still getting 429 errors, despite AirTable docs saying to wait 30 seconds. Any way to reset this? Or anywhere in AirTable to see a log of API requests so I can figure out what might still be hitting as an API request?

Can't access my bases or help pages (An error has occurred, refresh the page, and 504 errors)

I can’t access my bases. When i try, I get “An error has occurred, Refresh the page” and when I click on the provided “contact us” link, a very general page opens without contact options. Now that page is not accessible and results in a 504 error. The “error has occurred” message is accompanied by an error code of  pgluwBBDyL62GtnawThere aren’t any other ways to check status of Airtable, and this is directly affecting my businesses day to day operations. What can I do?Thanks.

Default time in a date field

I’m using airtable as a project management tool amongst other things in my business. It’d be really great to have the time in a date field default to 5:00PM (EOD) for every date entered instead of the current default which is the current time. Is there a way to do this other than using a formula as I’d really like to use the new timeline feature which doesn’t seem to support formulas. Thanks for the help!

Delete all records from Airtable at once

How can I automate daily content updates for a puzzle answer site using Airtable?

Hi everyone,I run a niche website that publishes daily puzzle solutions for the NYT Letter Boxed game. I’m currently posting answers manually, but I’d love to streamline this process using Airtable. Has anyone used Airtable to schedule or automate daily content updates to a website or blog?For context, here’s my site: NYT Letter Boxed Answers and tips– I post daily solutions, tips, and strategies.I’m curious to know: Can Airtable be used as a lightweight CMS for this kind of content? Are there any integrations (like with Zapier or Make) that could auto-publish new rows to a WordPress post or static site? How do you manage formatting or templating for content blocks coming from Airtable? Would appreciate any insights or advice from those with experience. Thanks!

Showing more information with link fields on a form

I’m not sure exactly what group to put this in but I am trying to build out a form that allows you to “pick a speaker” from a list to effectively vote for them. I was wondering if there was any way to show more information when trying to pick a record in a form, ideally the cover photo would be best but anything would make it easier. Here is the “speaker” in question (it’s me!):

Changed primary field in source not changing in synced table

I changed the primary field in a source table. I also want that to be the primary field in an existing synced table, but the primary field doesn’t change.If I go to “Update sync configuration” and then “Edit synced fields”, then select “Specific fields in the source...” it does not give an option to change the primary field, like you can when first creating the sync.I’m syncing a view from the source table, so I could create an identical, duplicate view there and then change my sync to point to the new view, but I worry about how that will impact all the lookups I have configured. Will I need to redo them all, even though the fields will actually be the same? So I’m hoping there’s a way for the synced table to use the new primary field from the source.
