Hi! I have two tables in my airtable - one has a list of providers, and the other table has contacts for that provider. There are often multiple rows for contacts (because one provider has multiple contacts. I have copied and pasted the data from Excel. In my provider table I created a linked column to link to the contact table. I expect to see two entries in that column most of the time. I’m copying the provider name (first column) into that column, and the provider name is also the first column of the contact table. However I only see one instance - it’s just picking the first row from the contact table. I can go into each cell and search for and select the second instance, that works fine! I’ve also tried copying and pasting the provider name twice, comma separated, but that didn’t work. It still just picks the first instance. Any ideas how I can do this not manually?

Hi! [context] I’m starting with Airtable to make a database of our library system. We borrow boxes which contain items. I have made one table with the boxes we borrow, and one table with the items in the boxes. Each time a box is borrowed, we check if it is still complete. When there are items missing, it should be marked in the table by the volunteer that verified the box. So it should be as simple as possible. [Problem] I would like to be able to choose from a multiple choice menu which item is missing. And I would like that menu to only contain the items that are available in that particular box, more specifically the items that are selected in the linked record field ‘content’ (see image bellow). Is that possible in Airtable? Or is there a workaround that gives the same result of easy verifying? [Illustration] I made an illustrative base to show what my base looks like, with the minimum of information. Of course we have much more boxes and items. That’s why a simple linked record d

Hello, When I embed by base table in Confluence, the app panel on the right side is automatically open. Is there any way to set this to closed by default and have users just expand it when they want? Thanks, Imran

Hi, in my GET request, how do I reorder the fields “id” from new to old in the request? right now they’re all over the place (screenshot shows “id”:13, then “id”: 10 and finally “id”: 15). I would like to reorder them to: 15, 13, 10

Hello, I track a portfolio of 500+ university ventures and periodically ask them to update information about themselves (e.g. description, talent needs, etc.) via a form. The primary field for each record is the venture’s name, a short text field. My hope is to force ventures to select their venture’s name from a dropdown of existing ventures. Is it possible to do that with a short text field? Is there another way? Thanks!

We’re looking for a way to display an Airtable table view in a dashboard. Is there an app that can do this or a workaround? (An embedded page?) Thanks!

Hi Airtable Community, I have created several Page Designer apps that have been working great for months. Generating these one-page PDF documents which must be signed by our consultants with a quick turn-around has been a huge timesaver for us and we rely on them completely. We have several different versions depending upon some of the verbiage that is needed. We use Print -> Save as PDF to generate the documents needed. A member of my team just reached out to me because one of the Page Designer apps is suddenly freezing when they hit the Print button. I tested this with multiple records to ensure the problem is not just one record, and I tested other Page Designer apps that we have to see if the problem is the app itself. It does appear to be this specific Page Designer app. I also make a copy of the app in the hopes that whatever the issue is won’t be propagated, but the copy had the same issue. It freezes when you hit Print. To my knowledge, none of the Page Designer apps ha

The CSV Import app works nicely, but I cannot seem to use it unless the AT table already contains columns. I had hoped it could use all of the first-row columns in the CSV file to auto-populate the AT table. Is this not possible, or am I just missing something obvious. Thanks very much.

Just wanted to confirm my understanding of prior postings: there is currently no AT support for prefilled forms - so the option is something like the MiniExtensions app, JotForm or Zapier. I know you can use a formula field to create a URL which prefills values, but that doesn’t seem to meet my use case. Thanks very much.

Hello, I use KODULAR to work, when reading the order fields appear out of place. Order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. as it appears: 4, 1, 3, 2, 5. Someone help me correct this error. I appreciate the help.

I’m looking to be able to filter linked records or show roll-up output as tokens / “bubbles” as opposed to simply text. Details: I have a CRM with 3 columns in my main table. 1) Deal (Short text); 2) Team member (multi select); 3) Deal Status (single select, say Status A and B) I want to create a team table where team members are the first column / “key.” I then want to have a column with Status A deals for that member and another column with Status B members. I tried linking to deals table and filtering by view but it doesn’t do anything. I then tried a rollup which worked, but has the output as a text string with commas (Deal 1, Deal 2, Deal 3…) as opposed to the typical “bubbles” or “tokens” you see with multi-select fields. Is there a way to make it show up as “bubbles” or “tokens” See below for illustration. Thank you!

I’m running into an issue trying to “group by” a linked record. The grouping works as expected when I use one linked record field, but it does not when I use another. Video here - Loom | Free Screen & Video Recording Software One difference is that the Contractor field is linked directly. The Project field (the one I want to use that does not work) is a Lookup field. If I create a simple Formula field that is only “=[Project]” to get it to display as text, then I can group by that formula field as intended. Has anyone run into this?

Hello everyone. I’m stumped with an apparent “bug” with the button field I’m hoping someone can resolve. I have a button configured to open Outlook (desktop) and send the contents of a record in an email, filling the addresses, subject and body using mailto code, etc. It works fine 95% of the time but every so often you click the button, and nothing happens. You can even see in the status bar at the bottom of the browser the code already to go, but for some reason…nothing. Anyone else having this issue or can suggest how to resolve it? Thank you?

I have 3 tables: Budget, Liabilities, Projections. All have different columns, but there is one Total column in each table for multiple items, and I want to link to the sum of that Total column. Example: Budget = $5,000; Liabilities = $2,000; Projections = $15,000. I want the Overview to have a row for each, with that sum value in a column. I want to have a 4th table (Overview) with 3 rows, one for each table, and one column linking the Total from each table, that’s it. How can I do this? I’ve been able to use rollup but I need a separate column for each table and it looks odd. Any way to have one column showing the Total from each table on the 4th table?

Hi everybody, I’m new here and i passed all the afternoon trying to find a solution… My boss asked me to add to an existing database photos from a folder in Google drive that have more than 6000 references. I would like to do it automaticaly, the database has only 300 specifics references and i would like that the system find which photo correspond to which record to add it in attachement files. Just as a precision if it can helps, the references of each record and the “name” of the photo are the same, i just need the system upload me this 300 specific photos not the 6000 ones. Thank you !!

Hi there: On my website, I endeavor to: collect email address from user (used as an identifier) provide an image picker for an media type (ex: PDF, jpeg) store media in a file share somewhere (ex: G-Drive, Box, DropBox, Cloudinary, Typeform) synch the media (not just URL) between the file share and AirTable Bonus: The file share uses Google Computer Vision API for OCR and template recognition (ex: Box, Cloudinary). So what’s the best file picker, smart storage (ex: Cloudinary, Box), and integration tool?

Hi, I am sending emails to customer after a payment is made. I am using airtable and Zapier to do it. I have to ask the customer in that email if their phone number that they gave us is correct. If not, I would like to generate an individual link to click on that I can insert in that email in order to update the phone number. The data would be updated in the customer airtable record. Do you know how do to it without code ? Maybe it typeforme and zapier or something ? I could not find anything on it. Many thanks

Good Morning Airtable Community!! Here are two screenshots from my current table. The first one shows my field (Technology Stack Managed) across several different views. The second one is where I open up a specific view and you can see all of the options for that field within the individual view. I had duplicated an entire field to get this field so a lot of views were already filled in. But I need to delete the options within that new field for each record. I do NOT want to delete the field itself, just the options that are currently there, so each view can start with a clean slate. What I have been doing so empty each field so far is I have just been X-ing out each individual option to clear the whole thing out. There must be a way to clear out all options at once instead of doing it one by one I am sure there is a simple fix for this, but I’ve spent a few hours researching stuff on the community boards as well as the help page and I couldn’t find anything. Thanks in advance for
