In my [Workers] table, I just copied 6,000 cells from formula field {All employers for automation} to a link records field {All employers new} which is linked to the table [Employers]. All of the text strings in {All employers for automation} were taken directly from a linked records field {Temp employer} which is also linked to [Employers]. 5,700 of them went through with no problem and linked back with the original record in [Employers] no problem. About 300 of them, though, failed to link and created a new record with the same name in [Employers]. Why would that be? Am I just asking too much of AT? (to be precise, i did this for three columns at the same time, totaling 18,000 records copied and linked. the other items were serial numbers and matched perfectly with their counterpart). The applicable structure of the table is {Temp employer} linked to [Employers] {Temp empID} lookup of {Temp employer} “orgID” {All employers for automation} re

Hello, I have a question in regards to linking fields which I can’t say I have any experience with yet. I want to link the outstanding compliance field within our listing tab into the SOLD tab within our properties base so the admin team don’t have to flick back and forth between listed and sold (my main aim is to save us time). The sold tab will populated via our commission sheet (form) that the agent is required to complete when they sell a property. How do I link the outstanding compliance field into the sold tab (I find linking fields confusing!) AND is there a way that Airtable can recognise that the listed compliance belongs to the particular listing that has been sold via a record ID or something? Please let me know if you can help. Thank you! Sarah :slightly_smiling_face:

Anyone using Integromat to send emails based to person in a record based on the status of a record (status = single select drop down)? If so, is there anyway to set a trigger for a new record in a view (like Zapier & Automate) instead of using the timer in Integromat? Problem with the timer is it uses so many operations (monitoring) even when it doesn’t trigger an email. For example: Say I have 5 status views that trigger different emails depending on status of the record and I have Integromat set to check every 1 minute. That is 300 operations per hour or 7,200 operations a day! The operation would only be triggered between 50~100 times per day. I understand I can increase the monitoring time or set a schedule to decrease operations, but the status can change at anytime and need the email to go out ASAP. Hope that makes sense. Thanks

Hi there, I am a new enthusiastic in Airtable, so forgive me stupidity ;-), but: A few days ago there handles most left on the records so I could drag them in another group of records (in the same table of course). But now these handles suddenly seem disappeared. Does anyone know what is going on here? Best regards,

I see when sharing a grid view link, users can’t see and therefore can’t click on the hidden fields, but when I create a base view link, the blue box with the hidden fields can be seen and clicked on. Is there no way to hide the hidden fields in base view? I was hoping to give users just 1 link so they can see the whole base with all the tables. If I can’t hide the hidden fields (with lots of formula workings), I’ll have to create 23 grid view links, 1 for each table! Hoping I’m missing something obvious here. Any help would be greatly appreciated it!

Hi, Just got set up with Enterprise and we had a workspace added to the account but I can’t figure out how to add a workspace under the enterprise umbrella. Anybody know how that happens?

I am looking to connect a Google Form to submit information with an ID# into Airtable through automations. Is there a way that when the info and ID number are entered in the form, that the result can drop into the correct row on the Airtable spreadsheet to match the same ID Number that is listed in a column on the spreadsheet?

hey everyone, I want to start using the comments on records but I’m hesitant due to the warning about only having 1 year of history. What does this mean? is it just revision history or does it include comments? Appreciate your time people

If I set a user as having view-only rights to a Base, can that user use the mobile app to view the data. The user would not be an AirTable subscriber. Thanks,

Hi, I created a shareable link for a grid view. However, when I open this link and expand a record, the comments are missing. Is there a way to include them? Thanks.

Is it possible to get the “Suggested Views” to stop showing in the sidebar? This takes up a lot of prime real estate. On my screen I can only see 5 of my many views :stuck_out_tongue: Also, I would prefer to have a single “Create a view button”, but that’s more of a feature request.

I am trying to make an automation that will send attachments from airtable using airtable automations when a record enters a specific view. I made an attachment field in the table and added the two attachments I want to send. I can get it to send an email, but cannot get it to actually include the attachments. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I’ve seen multiple threads on the discussion forums but no real solution around this. Here’s the use case with some qualifications in hopes of making my ask clearer: I work for an agency where we are using an AirTable workspace with multiple bases to work with a client. For the primary base both teams are using to collaborate, my team are all Creator/Owner level, and the client is all Editor level. The base has dozens of tables where my team is doing their work. That said, the nature of our work is such that we do not want to necessarily show the work to the client until the table is presentation-ready. I would like to be able to hide a table from the client team until I’m ready to share it and solicit feedback. My current approach is to just duplicate the entire base and keep it on a separate staging workspace, then once it’s done, I just copy and paste the records into the client-visible table. For obvious reasons, thi

Hello, I am about to upgrade one of my workspace to the Pro Plan. I have a special discount for the Pro plan if I pay annually + an extra one (I guess I am a good customer). If I transfer the ownership in a few month and then change the credit card information, would the new owner will keep the same price when the plan will renew in Nov. 2021, or it will be back to the original price with no special discount ? Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hello, I am working on a form to allow a user to set an event that will be reoccurring for a given date range. For example, they need to submit an event that could be every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 3 weeks. Is it possible to set this up in airtable? I am wanting to make a form where they can submit this reoccurring date range. Thanks!

I am encountering a problem with the pdf generated via the Gantt app. On the Mac it is no problem printing the pdf through the standard Preview app. But the generated Gantt chart is quite large, so I wanted to print it on several sheets, using Adobe software. In that way you compose one large image from different prints. Except… that Adobe does not want to print the PDF. Whatever I try, it generates an error message. Airtable support indicates that no issues are known with printing PDF’s, and suggests contacting Adobe. I’m trying to do so, but that is another kind of challenge :winking_face: Meanwhile: is there anybody who recognises this problem? This is everything we tried to make even a simple print using Adobe: Printing from Acrobat Pro DC results in an error ‘Unable to print document’ followed by an error ‘No pages selected for printing’ Putting de PDF in InDesign (16.0) for printing results in an error ‘Printing Error:

I live in an area with poor internet connection. I was wondering how much data I would need to use Airtable?

For especially sensitive data such as credit card numbers, it would be great to be able to add an extra layer of encryption (e.g AES) by encrypting that data before it enters an Airtable sheet/base from the API. I found an app called Encryptor from Integromat. Do you know of any other programs that can simply encrypt and decrypt text/numeric data through an API?

Anyone have the same issue? I can type maybe a few words and then it freezes. I exit and restart and maybe on the 5th try it lets me finish the comment and post. I am working in Chrome. Many colleagues are also in Chrome and have no issues.

So I have thousands of images stored as attachments within a base. Each record in the base has 1 image attached to the “Image” column I have created. When I export my base to a CSV file, instead of giving the URL it gives the internal image name followed by the url IN ( ). I can’t type out a url in here so I have attached a screenshot of what it is doing I can’t type out a url in here so I have attached a screenshot of what it is doing I need the raw CSV file exported to have a properly formatted URL: I can’t type out a url in here so I have attached a screenshot of what it is doing As a workaround, I am trying to create a new formula field next to the image column that uses a formula to delete the beginning and end of the improperly formatted URL. If I create a formula field and simply set it to = {Image} I can get that field to display the improper URL: Is there a way to expand upon that formula similar to a excel where I could maybe use a MI

I used this guide to create my current setup. I am trying to take get a list of words that are unique across the “sentences” column as the “Word array Rollup).” So currently “Sentences” under the “Calc” sheet is taking values from “Sentences” on the “Sentences and words” sheet. The rollup “@WordArray” then creates an array from the values in that linked list. Finally, back on the first sheet I want to take unique words from the rollup “@WordArray” on the “calc” sheet. However, currently I am getting whole

Hi! I have a Lookup column that gets one or more images from another table. Now I need to get each image link in its own column. I already have the formula to extract the images URLs, but how do I get each of the URLs in a separated column? Thanks!
