Probably a novice queston, but I am unable to entries in a grid view sorted after putting them in order manually; once I close and reopen the base, everything will default to alphabetical. When I switch the alphabetical sort on and off, it reverts back only partially; if I put things in a specific order manually, it won’t go back to the way I left it. Any advice on what I may be doing wrong, or how to work around this?

i have a zap with a Find Record step in Airtable. the step is set up to create the record if one is not found. for creating the record, i have text in a multi-select field that corresponds to one of the multi-select field options. however, when the zap actually creates the record, it adds both that option as well as a new blank option. i have double checked to make sure i don't have spaces before or after the option i entered. any ideas about how to prevent this from happening? thanks!!

Hi! I'm trying to make it easier to check which cell phone carrier a person uses based on their phone number. Right now I have a formula I use, but formulas can't appear in formsThis is the formula I use: IF({Phone Number} = BLANK(), '', CONCATENATE('http://www.carrierlookup.com/index.php/api/lookup?key=', {API Key}, '&number=', (SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE({Phone Number}, '(', ''), ') ', ''),"-","")))) Is it possible to replicate this effect in any way in a form?

Hi. I've taken over managing an airtable database and I can't get two tabs to talk to each other. I basically want the Link To Another Record space to populate when I link to that resource from another tab. It's working everywhere else on this table, just not on the tab I've recently created. I don't know what I'm doing wrong?

Anybody have a workaround to print out an Interface (physically or digitally as a pdf)? I have a Financial Dashboard that I would like to print and file at the end of each year. 

Hi. When looking at a calendar view with a shared link on mobile the user has to swipe around (e.g., left and right) to see all the days of the month. Also, when clicking an event, the popup with details is larger than the screen. One can click the diagonal expand/shrink icon and the popup fits the screen; however, this isn't default.Is this normal? Is it not possible to get a responsive view that fits the calendar to the width of the phone? Is it not possible to get the calendar entry popup to fit the screen by default (rather than having to hit a button)?Thank you.

Hi there- I am building an event calendar, and we have 4 different "tracks" occurring simultaneously. I'd like for things on the same track to appear next to each other. See below, how the two yellow sessions are separated. Any ideas on how I might get these to appear together? I tried sorting by "Schedule" which is the field that controls the color of the block.  Thanks in advance for the help!  

I am new to Airtable and the database had me the permission to edit it. I am trying to add an option to choose from but I can't seem to "edit" nor "add" an option when trying to add one. How do I successfully do it? Edit it and input the desired option I want to add.

Hello all. I have been using AirTable for the last two years as a way of managing around 100 hard drives for the post-production company I work for. For the last year we have started to use a cloud system, however, this system has a set amount of storage that we pay for ‘working projects’ and the plan with this system is that after a certain amount of time it gets moved to a ‘glacier storage’ on the cloud which costs less to us. There is also a fee to move that a project that is in ‘glacier storage’ back to the ‘working project’ storage. All of this will need to be pasted back to our clients. So I need to have a database where I can input each project storage size and the database then calculates how much the cloud storage will be over the year and also how much it will cost to retrieve these items. So far my database consists of various identification cells (project name, client, etc) as well as couple of formula columns that work out what the total storage of each project i

Can we either delete the notifications altogether, or, failing that, could there be some way to indicate there are unread notifications? The way it is, I can see from the table view that there are notifications, but as they pile up, I pretty much no longer care to know about them. Thx!

Deceptively, the here described image "disappearance" phenomenon may seemingly represent no more than an insignificant, minor issue, which *only* seems to occur when at least four "simultaneous" conditions are fulfilled : [1:] dealing with a newly attached picture ( meaning uploaded after 2024.04.02.Tu.), [2:] the upload was achieved from Airtable's mobile app for i[Pad]OS, and [3:] we are attempting to fully open the new picture in again Airtable's mobile app for i[Pad]OS, [4:] after having stepped out of the given record, been elsewhere, then returning to the new imagery.OK, this is about the currently happening and most unfortunate resurging of an earlier problem, dating from nine months ago actually, then and now again regarding New Picture Attachments in Airtable on i[Pad]OS – so in fact this is about an utterly, truly undesirable and unexpected revival of what we already had to describe mid last year, when we elaborately reported on

Chrome has started thinking every field in Airtable is a password field and pops up the 'Do you want to save this password?' after I finish typing in any field. It is very annoying!It is also preventing me from choosing a date in a date field because it pops up the 'create a strong password' right on top of the calendar and I can't click on anything!I've tried Googling for instructions for how to block the password autofill/offer to save on just one site, but can't find instructions exactly. Is anyone else having this issue? As far as I know, I didn't change anything about Chrome, this just started happening. 

Hi, I was trying to add a record and a pop-up error appered, do you u why?

Dear community, Does someone know how color a field by level of progress? For example, all tasks under 30% of completion in red, tasks between 30-60% in yellow, tasks between 60-90% in blue and tasks between 90%-100% in green? I’m sure that is something very easy to do, but I’m new with the PRO subscription and I still learning Thanks all!

Hello, I am using the Airtable API in javascript. Currently I am using the select method based on the documentation, and I am trying to make use of the returned data outside of the method.For example this is my code:  base('TestData').select({ view: 'Grid view', filterByFormula: `{FUS} = "F002"` }).firstPage(function (err, records) { if (err) { console.error(err); return; } records.forEach(function (record) { PAISearch = record.get("PAISearch"); }); }); console.log(PAISearch);   When I try to make use of the PAISearch variable that gets declared in the return of the select method, I can't get it to be accessible under the Global scope.I would like some advice on how to use the select method to store data into global variables for use in other functions. This works great if I just want to log to console inside of the function, but I need to make use of them el

We cannot select anything in date fields nor single-select fields. Selection in link fields are fine. The forms are not restricted to the company's domain. They are password protected. Users use the forms on Safari app on iPads.I can fill and submit the forms without problem on a computer under my account. I assume that the problem occurs throughout 2 pm--5am UTC, but this is a guess.

When I try to add a record in the linked record field I get an error message "You are not permitted to perform this operation". It does not happen in all ‘link a record’ field but in some, randomly. The issue is occurring on my iPad and iPhone apps. It seems working fine on Safari browser on my Mac. I am the owner of the base. It started happening about 1-2 weeks ago.Any suggestions? Thank you!

We’re using Airtable as a PIM for clothing and we sometimes do modifications that creates a new style code. A lot of the information is the same (as it’s just a modification), but I don’t want to copy over any linked fields or certain notes on an item. I was wondering if it was possible to create a script that would let you select an item you want to modify and create a new item with select information from the base item. The links are in the same table FYI.

I have a blank line chart. How do I add data to it?

Hello Airtable community,Wondering if it's possible to make a pareto chart in Airtable. I'd appreciate your help!

I am trying to set up a form that will collect requests for a dozen kinds of products from users (eg, shirts, hats, mugs...) I have a limited amount of each product available.Is there a way to omit certain questions if the limit for that product has been reached? The number is based on all submissions -- not just each individual form submission. I thought about adding a condition for each question related to the sum but I couldn't seem to make that work. Is something like this possible? Thanks!

Would be great if there was an option to select another attachment field as a fall-back for gallery view in interfaces

I need to add a list of countries and languages as options for a few different fields. When I open the Single Select field, it forces me to add each option one by one. This would be extremely time consuming. Surely there is a way to add options in bulk? Would really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to do this efficiently. Thanks, Alex
