While trying to import a CSV file in Airtable, I got the least helpful error message possible: Not very informative! If anyone’s seen this and has a suggestion, I’m all ears… Natalka

Hi everyone 👋 I’m using Airtable on the Team Plan, and I manage several bases within the same workspace.Each base is shared with different people (some as Editor, Commenter, or Read-only).I want to make sure that none of these collaborators especially Editors, Commenters, or Read-only users can duplicate, copy, or move my bases into their personal workspaces. What should I do?  Thanks for your help.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 SIGN-UP USING THIS LINK 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨Hey!!For the last few months the idea of running a Community Led Airtable Hackathon has been lingering in my head. When, how, and what is not clear at all to me yet, so I wanted to open up the discussion early on to make sure this is really community led.Brainstorming:Format: Virtual (for sure). Synchronous (everyone builds during a given time frame) or asynchronous (projects submitted over a few weeks). Themes: Specific theme (e.g. procurement, marketing ops, nonprofits, etc.), or leave it totally open to “build w

Hi all, We use Airtable for project management and one challenge we often have is searching for something via a keyword or name--something that would help us find a project without knowing the exact title of the record. Is there any sort of add-on that would help with this? Or is there something we can do to make fields show up in search results? Thanks.

Now that Airtable has deprecated static URLs for image attachments (or at least will some time in March or whatever), server side generated apps that use Airtable as a CMS backend can't use Airtable for image hosting anymore. Instead, combination solutions such as hosting images on aws s3 and putting image URLs in Airtable is necessary. This is because the URL provided by Airtable for an image attachment "expires" after a few hours, and a sever side generated app is "hardcoded" with the expired URL.I have a client that's not interested in two part solutions like this, and wants their CMS backend in one place. Is there a paid feature to switch back on static image attachment URLs permanently? This was a really easy, user-friendly way (especially for non devs) to have a CMS backend.  If not, I'll need to investigate another CMS backend solution for my client. 

Hello! I am trying to create a PDF-generating script using Scripting extension. When I run a script, I get an error message, "Can't set cell values: Field 'XXXX' is computed and cannot be set." Any idea how I can fix it?

Curious to know if this is happening to anyone else? My invoice just skyrocketed because of AirTable switching my portal editors to editors without my doing. Very frustrated. 

I have completed Airtable certificate like Builder, Admin, AI App Builder. Can I get to know about developer certificate?

Unfortunately our colleague who was the owner of our Airtable account died. How can we switch ownership to me? 

Thank you so much and look forward to hearing back!

Please who can help me with intermediate and advance airtable products I can do and upload on my upwork profile.

I would like to build a field agent(s) that extract data from an attachment uploaded to one field, and the enters the extracted data into corresponding fields in the same record. Example: .jpg or .pdf contains a customer’s name, DOB, email, etc. I would like for the field agent to then extract the data from the attachment and enter it into similarly titled fields, i.e. name, DOB, email, etc. Is this possible? Any insight/instructions? Thank you! 

Hello the Community !I received a message informing me that I needed to upgrade my Airtable access. I assumed this was because I had reached one year of usage, so I proceeded with the payment of the requested USD 240.However, after logging into my account, all my databases disappeared. I can no longer access any of my bases, and I would like to know how I can recover them or regain access.Last year, I paid for Airtable with my personal email/account, and this year I made the payment using my professional email/account. Could this be the reason why I no longer see my databases?Thank you in advance for your help — this data is essential for my work, and I realy appreciate your support.Kind regards,Alexandre

In the United States, an invoice is very different from what the government of Mexico asks for. If the invoice issued in Mexico by Airtable does not have the requirements that that government (SAT) asks for, the expenses in Airtable are not deductible and therefore are much more expensive for all that business that is paying taxes and that is operating within of the law. How can I get an invoice from Airtable with the requirements of the Mexico SAT so that I can deduct the costs of my ads? Invoices issued by Airtable do not meet these requirements. For example, the document must have the RFC (TAX ID) of the issuer and also the RFC of the recipient, and the folio.

Why do milestones created in my “Critical Path” interface (Program Plan table) with linked Workstream and Function Area field not show up in my “Plans by Function Area” interface (Plans by Function Area table), even though milestones created from the Plans interface do show in Critical Path – and how can I make additions from both interfaces appear in each other? 

Currently using Airtable to store all my Training Recordings for teams. I have a interface built out for these training but when it shows up blank in the interface because there is no thumbnail/preview in the data side. I can click onto the recording which will play the video but there’s no thumbnail. Am I able to customize a thumbnail image or add a picture?

Hi folks,In Chrome and other Chromium based browsers there seems to be a print to PDF bug. When my users attempt to print an interface the print dialogue pops up as attempting to print 20k+ pages of records when the reality is that it should be somewhere between 7-10 pages only. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Hey everyoneBeen looking at the new Proofing tools that had been added a few months back. Its a decent start and I have been considering this as part of our workflows.We typically work with a number of partners that submit updated images to us for review. The idea is we have a task with an image field that is formatted for Versioning.When our partner has a new version of the image that they can submit that into the image field so the internal team can review and give feedback. This seems a little backwards for how the workflow was designed. I think the intent was that the partner would create this in their AirTable, we would be commentors on the images and they would update the images. Is that correct? Thats not great for us since we have dozens of partners and need to have those assets flowing into us to centralize the review process.To make this work for us, I would need to have an Editor license for each partner that would be submitting image versions.

I hope someone can help with this please  Connecting from n8n and I’ve created a personal access token and entered it into the Credential to connect with field, Below is the scopes and access permissions I’ve checked that the Base name and tables are correct  I’m not sure what I’m missing here , will be grateful if someone can assist

Hi! I am using Airtable to create an inventory of items in a museum of education related items. The vast majority of the items in our collection only have a year attributed to the item (i.e. class of '89, picture taken 1976, Spring 1935, etc). I am wanting to create a timeline view to show a history of certain schools, subjects, and other grouping criteria. Is there a way to have just a year (YYYY) be read as a date for timeline and gantt purposes? 

I just asked ChatGPT for a list of all the selectable Records to get assistance picking one that was applicable for my use and was unable to locate one.  I just took a bunch of screenshots and had it convert the images to text but wanted to make sure that I could put it somewhere others would also benefit from it.  Figured this is a good place to start.  Here you go.This list is current as of 11/9/2025All selectable options for Record Types/Names:AccessoryAccountActionActivityAdAddressAdvanceAgreementAllocationAnnouncementAnswerApplicantApplicationApprovalAreaArticleArtistAssignmentAssumptionAttendeeAudienceAuditBayBidBookingBrandBriefBuddyBudgetBugBuyBuyerCabinetCallCandidateCapabilityCardCaseCategoryChangeChange ord

This might be a bit difficult, because it involves both Typeform and Zapier as well as Airtable. I’m having two issues but both are overlapping. In my Typeform I have some questions that are multiple choice with the option for multiple or single select. One of the questions asks about which states the person is involved with and has them all listed out. One person might just choose one state and the next might choose five. When I plug this data into Zapier, it comes across as one lump instead of individual selections so it doesn’t match up with the multiple select field in Airtable unless the person just selects one. Does anyone know how to fix this? In my Typeform, I have a question similar to the one above that lets the person choose what field they are in. Some people select only one, but several select more than one. This works with a linked field in Airtable. The issue I’m having is similar to the one above, if a person selects 2 it creates a new field wit

Hey I’m using zapier to link my typeform to an airtable, which is all working fine apart from the multi-select type form (choose 1-3 options). It is not linking to airtable’s multi-select field type correctly. Attached is what I’m getting - all inputs are in one entry instead of separate. I’ve even manually added all of the input options in the field on airtable. The workaround would be to use 3 separate single entry questions in typeform but this is not very user friendly and would mean separate fields which also doesn’t help when comparing data. Please help! interested if anyone has managed to do this or have i reached airtable’s limits? How it is How it should look

I am just starting with Airtable and have created a tables of Jobs, Crew, and Crew Assignments. I am trying to show where we have assigned the same crew member to multiple jobs where the dates overlap. To me it seemed like a simple ask, but maybe not.I could do it mathematically if I knew enough about Airtable to know where to do the coding, but, I’m trying to use the AI as it is intended.  Here is some info: I asked Omni:Can you give me a field list for the Assignment table?Omni response:Assignment Table Field ListHere are all the fields in the Assignments table: Core Assignment Fields: Assignment id  - Auto-number (Primary field) Job  - Linked to Jobs table Crew Member  - Linked to Crew table Assignment Start Date  - Date field Assignment End Date  - Date field

I’m integrating Typeform with AirTable and all is working great with most fields but not with single-select and multiple-select fields. Documentation states these AirTable fields map to Typeform fields that are Multiple Select, which is what I used. When mapping these fields in my block, I can enable my AirTable select field but the equivalent fields in Typeform are greyed out so cannot be selected. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
