Hi y'all,I am trying to figure out if there is a way to change my primary field when I am using data that is automatically integrated from a Google sheet. Basically, I have a Google Form folks fill out and the first question is what their name is. When they submit the form, a row is automatically created in a corresponding Google Sheet, and once that row is completed, a new entry is automatically created in AirTable. However, when the AirTable entry is made, the primary field is the time stamp from when the form is submitted, presumably because this is the first column in the Google Sheet. I was wondering if there is a way to change it so the primary field is the name (the first question that is filled out on the form) instead of the time stamp?I came across this article (https://support.airtable.com/docs/how-can-i-change-the-primary-field-in-my-table#changing-the-primary-field-type) discussing how to change a primary field and it notes that "We do not currently support replacing the p

HELLO! I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to make this seemingly easy function work and keep hitting dead ends. Basically, I have a list of schools we manage, and I need to assign a phase number to them as new projects are created. The problem is, they are not submitted in order, and we have about 230 schools. I need to be able to count how many times prior this school has had a project created so I can keep track of what phase number we are on. I have a sheet where all incoming projects are being submitted via Paperform, and another “Master” sheet with the school name linked to the incoming projects school name. Every possible option I’ve been able to come up with changes every answer within the column and I need each row to be “set”, if that makes sense. An example of how projects are submitted and what their phase number would be: School Phase Cooper - 1 Roosevelt - 1 Washington - 1 Cooper - 2 Cooper - 3 Lincoln

Perhaps I’m missing it, but how do I generate random numbers? I am missing “randbetween” and “rnd” from Excel. Thanks for any and all help.

Hi - just getting into Airtable. I’ve got a spreadsheet with book details that includes authors in a field. I have them in inverted commas ie “Last Name, First Name”. This is so that I can then take the field and link to another record to create a field in an Author table where the authors appear as a record with “Last Name, First Name” in the field. However, once the spreadsheet gets into Airtable (whether pasting or importing) the inverted commas have vanished from sight and so when I link to another record each author creates two records, one with “Last Name” and one with “First Name”. Is there any workaround for this? I’ve seen the help page about preparing text but that requires adding inverted commas around every author in every record after importing which will be a massive task. The only solution I’ve come up with so far is to have authors as “Last Name/First Name” or “Last Name-First Name” in the spreadsheet as then there is no comma delimiter problem in linking to another

Most 2FA systems allow you to enter a code manually so you don't have to scan the QR code but there is no option for that in AirTable. My camera on my phone is currently broken and so I have no way I can set up 2FA with AirTable with my authentication app.Is there a button I am missing somewhere next to the QR code to get the key manually?

It would be great if you could select or filter records by a pop up / embeddable calendar in interfaces.

Hi, I have an Interface with an attachment field and I'm adding small PDF's. These are sometimes multipage PDF's All good on PC but when opening via the Airtable App on Mobile, it only displays one page. Multiple pages can be viewed if download but not just by opening. Happens on multiple device (Android). Am I missing something ?CheersJason   

So I have PDFs that are standardized for our organization. Is there any solution to take records from airtable and insert the data in to my Form Fillable PDFs. Is this possible? I looked at a lot of the extensions currently and none of them, even talked to some of the extension sites and they don't have the ability to do what I need.

Hi everyone,I need to upload Adobe Acrobat Documents to my base.  They vary in size between 155-175 KB. '"This file is smaller than the allowed size of 1 B"Why am I getting this message?  Does anyone have a workaround?Thank you for your time and wisdom.  Much appreciated!S 

Hi everyone, I have a situation and I am not sure what I should be focusing on first. There are a few levels where the problem may be coming from.I use Airtable in Chrome. As I move from cell to cell and view to view, I am often pressing a button on my Stream Deck that pastes small amounts of text for me. However, recently if I have expanded a long-text Airtable cell (so the whole cell pops up for easier reading), if I hit the button on my stream deck it closes the cell and does not paste it. This is not an issue, however, if I double-click within the cell and work on it without expanding it to the larger view. This is also not an issue with general copying/pasting with a keyboard. This issue comes and goes. I am trying to figure out where I should *start* with all this. Where do you think?- Chrome- Airtable- Stream Deck hardware- The app within Stream deck that "pastes"Hopefully the question makes sense. If you have any ideas on what could be happening I'd totally appreciate them

Hi!     I successfully synced JIRA to AirTable, with all fields appearing in AirTable correctly.     But, there is an exception:     I have a "Cascading Field" in JIRA called "Story Type", each option in the first field opens a new list in the second field.     The first field appears correctly in AirTable, but the second one no. The print below shows it better.      Is there a way to make the second field appears in AirTable?Thank you all in advance.Best regards.Nelson.

I'm watching the "introduction to interface designer" webinar on-demand but in the recording there is no "related content" section for me to find the template/base used in the webinar. Tried searching for it as well, but couldn't find it anywhere. Anyone got a link to that base? It's called Demo: Design Project Tracker.

Hi everyone. I am currently trying to create a checklist for a theatre production so we always remember to load everything in the van. However, although this works perfectly when I am on the computer version, I can tick the items as they are loaded, when I transfer to the mobile app it seems to become a laborious task because when I tick on the items, rather than check the item it takes me to the individual record. Does any one know if it is possible to just check and uncheck items in the mobile version? Thanks

I have a base for tracking orders. My base has the following tables, Customer, Products, Vendors, Orders, and Order items.This is a form I created in the order table.

What’s the best way for someone to use my base? Lots of people will need to use it and add/edit records but they should not see each other’s information. They are individuals and not in the same company or organization. Can they copy my base and then use it freely? What is the best way to share so they’ll have the base to be able to add, edit, update and delete records?

I am trying out the new Record Template feature, and I'm struggling when I want to create a same-table linekd record. I have a field that is a linked field to the same table. It gives me the below option to "choose templates" with which to populate this field:However, when I open this up, even though I have another template within this same table, I'm given no options for my template selection:You can see two templates clearly visible behind the dropdown menu; one is the template I'm currently editing, the other is the template I would like to select from the dropdown, but which isn't visible. Is this a bug, or is there some feature I'm missing in being able to select a record template for same-table linked records?

Hi all, I’m trying to use an IF formula to convert “Y” and “N” text strings into Single Selects titled “Upgraded” and “Not Upgraded”. Here’s the Airtable document: https://airtable.com/invite/l?inviteId=inv2cn0Kk8vSLJcdj&inviteToken=65adac3e71ede9340db2d2c9d4fc5897 I have a formula for converting the Y or N into a text string, but cannot find a way to – or any documentation for – converting them into Single Selects. I need something that will automate this process; it can’t be done manually. New records will be added continuously to the Airtable. Any help you can offer will be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I have a Single Select field that has the options “This week”, “This month”, “This quarter”. I’d like these to be automatically chosen and updated based on a Date field. The purpose of this is to use a Matrix block to display records by a “Event Type” Single Select on the Y axis and in relative date categories “This week” etc on the X axis. Is this possible, or can anyone suggest a better solution?

We have a retail chain with 150 stores.  I have a workflow where the stores complete a form to give feedback on the quality of a product.  In my base the forms are submitted into one table (Feedback).  The Feedback table is linked to a table called Stores that is a list of all 150 stores will their detail. It is also linked to the Product table that is a list of all the products.I am trying to create visibility for the team that will show them which stores have not yet submitted their feedback per product.  I tried to do this in the Stores table as all 150 stores are listed there.  The problem is that the lookup to the product field will contain multiple products per store.  And as soon as I filter on Product I only see the stores who have submitted feedback - I want to see the ones who have not yet submitted feedback.Any ideas of how I can achieve this? 

Hi AT CommunityI have a Google Sheet which has cell values (text/currency) which I would like to bring into Airtable. Along with those values I need the user to answer some questions. I would like to prefill form fields with the cell values from the Google Sheet, hide the fields, leaving visible only the questions which I need answering. Any suggestions on how I could go about this please? It needs to be a one step from Google Sheet to Form. I have looked into prefilling a Google Form from Google Sheet, this then populates Google Sheet (form response Google Sheet), when a row is added it creates a record in Airtable Base. I don't think you can hide Google form fields which isn't a huge problem, but not my preference. Any other thoughts or suggestions. THANK YOU.
