I have a table with a linked field to another table. The linked field refers back to the primary key of the table I am linking back to (eg a unique project number) but that is just numbers and it doesn’t mean anything to most users when searching. Is there any way I can have the linked field search for the name of the project rather than typing in the unique primary key to the record I want to link back to? I have added a lookup field but this only pulls in the project name field once I have linked back using the link field by entering the corresponding unique job number,

Hello, I have a table where all records are auto populated by a Webflow form submission through Zapier. Everything works fine except one small thing. Every time a user sends a form and the main text field has commas in it Airtable splits this record in multiple records. Example: Form Submission: Watchmen #12 "A Clock at Midnight, Its Face Running with Blood, Cover Original Art" Airtable Records: 1st Record: Watchmen #12 "A Clock at Midnight, Its Face Running with Blood, Cover Original Art 2nd Record:Watchmen #12 "A Clock at Midnight 3rd Record:Its Face Running with Blood 4th Record:Cover Original Art Is there any way to avoid this? I just want the first record not the second, third or fourth. Thanks

I’m not sure if this is possible with AirTable, but I’m hoping someone more savvy can help me brainstorm a solution. BACKGROUND: I’m a lawyer, and I’d like to create a database of cases that are cited in briefing, so that I can go back and reference my notes / summaries of each case when they are cited again in a new case. The thing I’m struggling with right now is whether there is a way to associate each case with its Jurisdiction (the court that decided the case) and its Reporter (the publication where the case appears). There is a limited universe of Jurisdictions and Reporters, most of which I have pulled into separate tables already. Cases come from one of the following: The U.S. Supreme Court One of the state supreme courts One of the U.S. Courts of Appeal One of the state appellate courts One of the U.S. District Courts One of the state trial courts Each case from

Any plans to allow the admins to adjust the user data fields similar to how the bases are configured with the ability to select and hide/delete fields we want to see by users depending on the use case? Or use a field selection similar to Service Now’s field selection? Currently what I see on the Admin panel is very limited and I don’t see the ability to adjust (add or delete)  

I have found some posts on printing mailing labels via Page Designer, but they were from 2018. Since it is 2023, I was hoping if there was a way to print on Avery labels with Airtable. I don't have an actual label printer, just a regular old printer and some Avery sheet labels. Be aware that every label would be unique.Example: 

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!

I would like to print mailing labels from my database. How to do it?

I have used the block “Page Designer” to create a 3x5 label which I would like to then print to a rolled label printer one at a time or as needed. We will affix these labels to the front of our job folders for internal use. Has anyone used a Rollo Label Printer – Commercial Grade Direct Thermal High Speed Printer or something comparable to accomplish this? It appears this type printer is used mainly for shipping purposes, and I am worried airtable will not communicate well with it for printing purposes. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Is Airtable’s Map app embeddable? If not, what tools do you use to embed? The self help article doesn’t cover this: Airtable Support

I just added a new user as Portal Editor in a portal interface. Let’s call them {USERNAME}After they used the portal, Airtable upgraded their seat to Editor.(I am the only admin, and I know this upgrade was not done by me, so it was done by Airtable) The Admin panel lists the upgrade event as, “{USERNAME} made edits to Interface {INTERFACE}"Now, I know that {USERNAME} didn’t actually edit the interface, because they don’t have base access. And I know that portal editors are *supposed* to be able to change fields via the interface.So what the heck does the upgrade event “{USERNAME} made edits to Interface {INTERFACE}" mean? I can’t find this documented anywhere.Thanks for any insight,Natalka

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?
