Search entire base on the mobile app

Hi,Is there any way to search an entire base with the Search feature on the mobile app? I’m only able to see how to search within one view and one table at a time.Our team has added QR codes to records in our base, and would like to use the scanner within the Search feature on the mobile app to scan a QR code (from a printed label) and pull up the corresponding record in the Airtable app.This works fine *if* you know which table and which view to search in. However the base has multiple tables and views (it was not set up optimally). If you’re searching in the wrong table, or view, OR if a filter has been applied by another user to the view you’re searching in, you’ll get a “record not found” message.So I’d love to find an easy way to scan in the QR Code with the mobile app, and just search the whole base.Any ideas??Thanks very much.Elaine

Hi all,I’m looking for a MiniExtensions expert with deep knowledge of the platform’s portal capabilities.The goal is to create a kind of shopping-style experience, where different users can see diferent items options and varying availability/quantities based on a complex matrix/profiles.I’m seeking looking for advice and guidance about what's possible and whether we should look at a different tool. I have intermediate understanding of ME and have build several portals before.If you have experience setting up advanced MiniExtensions workflows. I’d love to connect.

Extension architecture clarification

Hey all!I’m currently developing an extension for Airtable, and at the moment, all of the logic resides in a single file, index.js, as generated by the initial project setup.Is it a requirement of Airtable’s extension framework that all code must remain in index.js, or is it safe to refactor the logic into multiple modules/files for better organization and maintainability with TypeScript?I’d appreciate any official guidance or best practices. Thanks in advance!

Error when copying and pasting code snippets in text field

Hello, since today I am having a problem that does not allow me to work with Airtable. When I try to paste a code snippet into a text field of any type the program gives an error and crashes. I have done this many times before and there have never been any problems… But today there is no way… PD: I’ve tried it on a friend’s account and the same thing happens… I’ve restarted, cleared cache and so on but there’s no way…

Enable group by at parent level in List view

I’m working on the following project in the interface designer where I want to utilise two tablesInitiatives Type of workIn this interface page, I want to use the list view and use the hierarchy levelsLevel 1 - Initiatives Level 2 - Type of work  The goal is to being able to group the records by the status field from the initiatives table. So those records in the interface should be displayed like this Record A - Type of work 1 (showing status of every milestones; To Do, Queued, WIP, Done and who is/was working on it) - Type of work 2 (e.g. backend, frontend, sound, art&design) - Type of work 3  Record B - Type of work 1 - Type of work 2 - Type of work 3 ​​​​​​​However, I can’t emphasise enough  how I’m frustrated that the records can be only group by the bottom hierarchy level (Yes, I can still sort the records by the parental level but this is not the same) I think this is a missed opportunity. A good design, and friendly interface is a key element if a user would want to use air

Linked record and associated lookups fields not automatically populating table

Two similar linked records link the BOOKINGS/LICENCES and the COSTS tables with the REPORTS table. I create a new record on the junction REPORT table (primary field = ReportID), and I manually choose to bring which licenses from the BOOKINGS/LICENCES table and which costs from the COSTS table will be included in this particular report from linked record on each tables.  Then I created a linked record both on the BOOKINGS/LICENCES table and on the COSTS tables that automatically pulls into those tables the reportID number (primary field) and an associated lookup field, so I can know directly from the BOOKINGS/LICENCES table, in which report a particular license is included. Same from the COSTS table.  I replicated the same logic and created the same relations through linked records on both tables. It works perfectly on the COSTS table. For a reason I cannot understand and after several attempts it simply does not work on the BOOKINGS/TABLE . Neither the information about the record numb

Another form issue. The form has been working, but now part of it is not, and I have no idea why.

I have it connected to a table with the months in it and they are supposed to click which month they want.  Now, it’s doing this?

How to show comments made on an image in a shared view link?

As the title states, I need to know how to make comments made on an image viewable in a shared view. I don’t need the ability for people to comment, I just need the comments that I made visible to them! Seems silly that I can share all the other information on an airtable, but I can’t easily share comments that break down what an image shows to more clearly convey the information being shared...

Can't add data on a certain table

Hello guys, this error always comes up when I'm trying to add data using a pop up form on an interface level: Worker responded with {errorCode} for {path}, {action}, {modelClassName} (Please see the First Image)Also when I'm trying to add data manually on the backend, an error message also pops up (please see second image). Both of this are occurring on the same table. I'm the author/owner of the base.What do I do? Thanks in advance!

Updating record based on form submission and unique ID lookup

I've looked at a few posts that deal with updating an existing record based on a form submission, but haven't found anything that addresses my particular need.I have a base to keep track of volunteers. It includes general contact info, which groups they are a part of, how they came to the organization, etc. I want to also use this base to keep track of which events they RSVP to. They RSVP to events via airtable form. I want to be able to update their existing record to add the event to the "Events" column (multi-select field).I've found ways to do this that involve the person filling out the form looking up their record (e.g., https://community.airtable.com/t5/show-tell/updating-an-existing-record-via-airtable-form/td-p/132681). But my volunteer list needs to remain private—I can't have it so that anyone filling out the form can see the names of other volunteers. Instead, I want to have users fill out their email address each time they RSVP, and then use that as a unique ID to loo

Interface Design Questions

2 interface questions: Is there a way to discard unpublished changes? I was trying to add something to a current interface, but it isn’t laying out how I want it to… so I want to revert back to how it was. But it won’t even format itself back to how I originally had it… So I’d like to discard these changes and put it back how it was automatically. This leads me to my next question. Can the elements on the interface only go into these pre-determined ‘boxes’ that are popping up. Sometimes it won’t allow me to resize things the way I want them because it doesn’t seem to ‘fit the mold’. Does anyone else have this problem? I hope those make sense!

Copy single-select value colors from one field to another

I have a bunch of columns/fields that use the same list of single-select values. I have changed the colors of the selectable values in one of the columns and I want to apply the same change (colors) to all the other columns with the same range of values. How can I do this short of manually edit the colors on all the other columns?

Advanced Search Options for Linked Records

Problem:When adding a linked record in Airtable, the search is currently limited to the Primary Field of the linked table. In many cases, however, the Primary Field is a technical ID or a customer number, which is neither intuitive nor easy to remember for users.Example:We have a customer table with fields like Customer Number, Company Name, and Address. When linking a customer to a product table, we can only search by the Customer Number (Primary Field). This is inconvenient because we would often prefer to search or filter by Company Name or Address to quickly find the correct customer.Current Workarounds: It’s possible to create a formula field that combines multiple fields (e.g., Customer Number + Company Name). However, this combined field would need to become the Primary Field, which is often not allowed or desirable, as the Primary Field must not be changed (e.g., in synced tables or when data is externally managed). Another potential idea would be to use Lookup Fields, whic

Random quotation mark in calculated field?

I have a field in TableA called “ProductSKU” which is a primary field that concatenates some data from other fields in TableA. The formual is: LEFT(Description,10) &"-" &FinishCode &"-" &Model I have a field in TableB called “SelectKit” that is a link to “ProductSKU”. I have a third field in TableB that concatenates data from the “SelecKit” field. The formula is: LEFT({SelectKit},5) Now, that we’ve established that. I have found that SelectKit is arbitrarily entering a single quotation mark as in " just before the text that is being pulled from “SelectKit”. This only happens in one case. I’ve checked all the fields from every other table and there is NO quotation mark entered in a field. I’ve checked the formulas and they all appear correct anbd otherwise working, except for one entry. Why is this question mark being entered??

User Management - Groups and Access Control

I like to know what others are doing to have better organization of managing their users against workspaces, bases, and interfaces, specifically within their organization. I have built a number of apps amongst different departments. We have not decided to turn on enterprise hub yet for our enterprise account but we do have SSO. However, I think using groups would be useful as a growing community of users is developing. I’m a little clunky with using groups and will need to a lot of clean up. Structurally this is how I’m laying it out:Workspace per department Product owners of the Base have creator access only at the Base NOT at the Workspace level (Reasons - within the department could have multiple products not meant for other team members thus at the Workspace level gives too much control) Groups - Product owners are Group ManagersMy logic in what I’m thinking to do:At the Base level manage access for creators only Instead of inviting people directly to the base or interface per a pe

Select item in one field, have it filter the second field based on that selection so I can choose from a filtered selection, and auto-populate the third field based on the second selection I make

Hello! I realize this might sound confusing! Select item in one field, have it filter the second field based on that selection so I can choose from a filtered selection, and then auto-populate the third field based on the second selection I make. Here is a quick Loom so you can see what I mean! Loom Loom | Send a video. Not a thousand words. Get your message across with instantly shareable videos for work. Capture your screen, record your front-facing camera, and narrate it all at once, then instantly share with a simple link. I have a column with OEM Make, those OEM Makes have specific packages but those packages all include different things, but some OEMs have the same package names even though they include different things. I want them to be able to choose the OEM from the OEM field, then the package field with the packages they can choose from only has the packages that match that OEM. Then the 3rd field is auto-populated with

Page Designer: print margins and page orientation

I’ve made a print view using the blocks. I’ve set the page direction to Landscape. But every time I’m printing i manually have to switch to Landscape in the print prompt - is there away around this? Secondly my printer constantly prints an empty page. Tried to move content away from the edges and play around with the margins but no matter what, my printer prints my view followed by a blank page. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of the empty page?

Google Analytics Integration with Embedded Airtable Forms

After reading this topic about tracking an airtable iFrame, I looked deeper into if its possible to track interactions within an iframe through scripting. I read a few articles, but this one explained most clearly that it’s not possible: Note: To reiterate, you need developer access to the iframe in question . This means the source website’s code, not the iframe HTML on your website. 80% of the cases I see where people are struggling with tracking iframes are simply not possible. Without access to the iframe in question, you cannot install any tracking code. Since I don’t have access to the source for the embedded form, I can’t do tracking. My organization is relying heavily on airtable, especially for volunteer signup forms. We’d like to know how our forms are doing in terms of converting potential volunteers, but right now we’re blind because Airtable doesn’t integrate with Google Analytics. Another tool we use, Donorbox, also relies on embedded iframes, but has an option to input

Help in understanding Airtable Interference

Hello everyone!Thank you for taking the time to read my post.I’m new to Airtable, and absolutely loving it so far!I’ve already built a database, created forms, and now I’m exploring interfaces. My goal is to give different establishments we work with access to some of their own data, so they can add, update, or delete it as needed. I’m currently trying to achieve this within Airtable itself, without using third-party tools.I noticed that when sharing an interface, there’s an option to restrict access based on specific email domains, which is great, since most of the businesses we work with have unique email domains.I tested this using a random email I created for the test, and a few unexpected things happened: I received $10 (which I wasn’t expecting). I got an email saying I would be charged (also not something I intended). When I logged in using the test email, it didn’t allow access to the shared interface. Instead, I saw a pop-up saying I don’t  need to request access, it was a

Duplicate base doesn't change the table ID anymore

Hello,Did Airtable change how they duplicate bases recently? It seems that when duplicating a base, it uses the same table ID and View ID from the original base. This broke my API that updates/inserts table metadata to my database by table ID as well the API that fetches table metadata by table ID. Disclaimer: The bases here are all just test bases so there is no real information stored in there.Before, when duplicating base, the table ID was also changed as seen in the screenshot below. These bases was duplicated around May last year.This is the original base This is the duplicated base (please note that the base ID, table ID, and view IDs are different from the original)Now, when I duplicate a base, it changes the app ID but doesn't change the table ID and view ID anymore as evidenced in the screenshot below. These bases have been duplicated at the same date of this post's writing.Original baseDuplicated base (only the app ID was changed)I'm well aware that the solution wou
