Probably a niche use case but wondering anyone can think of a way to make this happen.I'm trying to use airtable to organize some wire and cable take-off quantities and routing for a large scale construction project. The main entities (tables) are wire/cable, conduit, and pull/junction boxes. The boxes are like the nodes, the conduit link nodes together, and the wire runs through the conduit and boxes from an origin box to a terminal box. There may be many levels of branching. Possible that there is some spider-webbing as opposed to just straight branching but not positive yet (rare if so).I have the table setup so that there is a record of conduits, with an "origin" and "destination field each linking to the table of pullboxes. This link defines the end points, or nodes, of the conduit IE Conduit #1 goes from Pullbox A to Pullbox B. Conduit #2 goes from Pullbox A to Pullbox C, Conduit #3 goes from Pullbox B to Pullbox D, Conduit #4 goes from Pullbox D to Pullbox E, etc etc. Always goi

Hi,I have a table called Launch Calander that I link records from other tables like Email task, Website tasks and Digital & Print tasks.The lookup fields for all the other records show fine in the Launch Calander except for Email.I've tried deleting the linked record for email and starting over by creating it again from within the Launch Calander, then creating Lookup Fields and making sure they are linked to the Email Linked Record. Yet, nothing shows up. 

I've used Airtable for several years and have a workspace with approximately 80 bases.  Prior to one of the "upgrades", I had organized my bases in a way that was easy for me to find which base I was looking for and that made sense to me.  Now that the workspaces are sorted by opened by you, alpha, or last modified, it is very time consuming to find the particular base that I am looking for.  The "upgrade" may have been great for many people, but it was horrible for me.I have looked and can't seem to find a way to manually sort my bases so that they stick.  I suspect that this is no longer an option for me.Does anyone have an answer?I tried to contact support, but it has been several weeks and the only communication that I received from them was asking if I had received an answer yet.  Of course, I had not, because no one had answered. Thanks! 

I need to be able to export a airtable views from the mobile app. Do I have any options?-It doesn't appear that there is any functionality for this currently in the app- It doesn't appear possible with automations- There doesn't appear to be any extentions that do this- There are third party apps, but as a small charity we can't really justify paying for one for this use

Im trying to set up a BOM (Bill Of Materials), but i have thousands ind different categories and subcategories. I though it could use the use the new dynamic filtering in the the link fields, but as there a many seperate sub categories depending on the material it ends up being quite messy.So I thought I maybe can rig something up in a script extention to have the user run through a bunch of questions to filter out all the irrelevant records to finally be asked to choose from a narrowed down list (as if the user would be choosing records from filtered view). Is this possible with the script extention?

Hello everyone,I'm a beginner on Airtable, I don't really know where to post this message, so sorry in advance if it's in the wrong place, I have some ideas for resolution but it could be in automation, base design or then formulas, I chose to post in Other questions.I couldn't put a screen shot because the data is sensitive. 🙏I'd like to know how it's possible to keep the previous information that filled a field.Let me explain:We're doing a small CRM.So I use the Kanban view based on status and when a customer record hasn't been modified for 4 days, I've been asked to set up an automation so that the customer record goes into "Action Required" status.The aim would be to have an action to return the customer file to the previous status once the action has been carried out by the sales person.The problem is that we have 7 different statuses, so the previous status can be 6 different statuses.I thought of a button, but the rollback action (based on a record) doesn't seem to exist

I am aware it's possible using Zapier/Make/n8n/BuildshipApp etc, but this is all external apps, too much work to configure. Google Gemini has a very generous free API plan and I would be keen on getting it to work but I have no programming experience. Wondering if anybody figured out a way.

I have 3 tables: plants, fertilizers, and schedule. In the schedule I set on a date certain fertilizers and plants. And also it has field "done" - planned or done.So I want a calendar view for each plant where I can see when and what fertilizer I have used.Could you please help, How can I do this? Thanks for any suggestions!

Is this possible? If so, how?

Hello - I am new here and trying to create a base for following cash flows in my various accounts, cash or petty cash.Thanks to sources I found here, I succeeded to create deposit and withdrawal through two tables, one for accounts and one for transactions, and a rollup structure to calculate the balances of each account under the deposit/withdrawal transactions. However my concern is related to "transfer" transactions between accounts. When it is a "transfer" transaction, I want the rollup to subtract the amount value from the transferring account and add the amount value to the receiving account. I mean, when the number of accounts and the rollup transactions becomes two, I cannot find a practical (or sophisticated! 🙂 ) solution for such purpose, so that;(a) I select the "transfer" as the transaction type;(b) I enter the amount of the transaction;(c) I select the From and To accounts separately;(d) The amount becomes withdrawal for first account and deposit for the second acc

Hello - I am trying to get a total count field if student's have passed multiple tests. There are six fields representing each test. Within each multi select field the contents contain: Drop downs for fields:  Pass 4/5/24, Pass 4/17/24, Fail 4/5/24, Fail 4/17/24.  I want to use a multi-select tool so if/when they retake the test, I can note which date they passed or failed. Fields:Test 1 Test 2 Test 3 Test 4 Test 5 Test 6 I would like another column to say, if the fields contain pass, then count it as one. If a student passes 4 out of 6 of the tests, I would like the column to have the total = 4. I am stuck combining the multiple fields. Airtable provides the following equation to count for one multi select field: IF({YOUR MULTIPLE-SELECT FIELD NAME},LEN({YOUR MULTIPLE-SELECT FIELD NAME})-LEN(SUBSTITUTE({YOUR MULTIPLE-SELECT FIELD NAME},",",""))+1)Is there a way to create a formula that will count from multiple field

To any formula ninjas, A column has multiple keywords/values. I need to add a pre-fix before each of the values. From: column: Colour values: White, Black, Blue To: add the prefix “Colour_” to each one of the values in the colour values: Colour_White, Colour_Black, Colour_Blue I created another column with the prefix Colour_, and then a basic concat, but the result is (of course): Colour_White, Black, Blue I don’t know how to add the prefix to each of the values individually, and if concat is the right formula. Detail: not all columns will have a value, so need to consider an empty cell. If anyone has a good idea… much appreciate it ! Christie

Hi, I’m looking for a way to collaborate with a partner on a specific view on my table - but I don’t want to give them access to the whole table/other views and my entire base. I know that there is a “share view” button but that doesn’t let my partner put their own notes in. Am I missing something?

I'm trying to use curly brackets to insert field content into a text box, but it shows up as "Course Name: {Course Name}" on the designed page instead of inserting information from the Course Name field. How can I make Page Designer recognize that that's a field name?

This is the image link I'm trying to use:<https://www.the-efa.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Education-header.png>I can load it just fine in my web browser, but Page Designer says there's no image there. How do I fix this?

I was thinking If this is possible. what if we keep our email user the same but just change the billing? Like, we could have our user account email as user.account@gmail.com, and for billing, we could use billing.account@gmail.com. What do you think?

Hi… I’m looking for a scripting solution that lets me auto-populate a field with a parent and child relationship. Eg - Column 1 has the children Column 2 has the parent of the child I’m wondering if I can write a script that can populate a new column with the tree hierarchy like this - wco:WC Interface → wco:Area → wco:Block → wco:Image Card → wco:Hero Image Card I have looked at a solution posted by joao_melo which works. But i’m wondering if this is doable in a script?

Hey guys, I am building a job board. I’ve written the following formula to prefill the application form for the candidate: "https://airtable.com/embed/shrNEroLw9LDd5Hlg?prefill_Company="&ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT({Company Name}) & "&prefill_Position="&ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT({Position}) The Position is plain text and always gets prefilled. The Company Name is a linked record and doesn’t always get prefilled. In cases where the company name is just one word, the prefilling doesn’t work. Eg: Company name: “Shunya”, link: https://airtable.com/embed/shrNEroLw9LDd5Hlg?prefill_Company=Shunya&prefill_Position=Android%20Engineer vs. Company Name: “Sixteen Grams Coffee” has a successful prefill: https://airtable.com/embed/shrNEroLw9LDd5Hlg?prefill_Company=Sixteen%20Grams%20Coffee&prefill_Position=Marketing%20Intern Any pointers on what may be causing this? Thanks!

Hi,Please share your ideas. I'm not sure if it is possible or not.I have three tables Project, Budget, and Products. The Budget table has multiple fields that are linked to Project and Products, and the view of the Budget table is grouped by Project Name field. The Product table has multiple fields and one of the fields name is called Status. Whenever I create a new Project in the Project table. By default, Budget table should be updated with the New Project Name and integrate with Product table records that are in Status Active.

The following bit of code is intended for a Script block to pull data into airtable it was written by chatgpt I cant make this work for the life of me async function updateRDAPData() { let table = base.getTable('Wucy'); // Correct table name let query = await table.selectRecordsAsync({ fields: ['Value'] // This field contains the full RDAP URLs }); for (const record of query.records) { let url = record.getCellValue('Value'); // Get the RDAP URL from the record if (!url) { console.log(`Skipping record ${record.id} because no URL is present.`); continue; } console.log(`Fetching RDAP data from URL: ${url}`); try { let response = await fetch(url); if (!response.ok) { console.error(`HTTP Error: Failed to fetch RDAP data from URL ${url}: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}`); continue; } let data = await resp

I have published a form and used the helper text as a description for some fields. When I preview the form within my account, it looks great. When I try to use incognito mode or a different account to view the form, the helper text is missing. Can someone help?

Is it possible to edit the email notification that is sent out when you @ a specific user?For context;  as our purchase order moves through various stages, the access to those stages is dynamic.  When a user a elevated stage access comments at a user with a lower stage access, the lower access user receives an email notification with a link.  However, the link takes them to the interface that they do not have access to.  We would like to update the URL that is provided to send the user to an interface where they can see the record and interact with the comments field.Thanks!
