Does anyone have guidance on how to split multiple choices into list view? For example, I use Airtable to track participants for trainings we offer and in some cases participants will take more than one of our trainings. When I group in list view by training, it is pulling and sorting these participants into a new category rather than just having them show up in both individual training lists. Is there a way to fix this?  Thanks!

We have a nonprofit Pro Plan for 60ppl.Re-upping for the year was a scramble to find the money, so I just put it on a personal credit card to see us through. I paid the bill today, which was one day after the account defaulted back to Free Tier. I have just paid for: NFP Annual Pro Plan 60 Nov 12, 2023 – Nov 12, 2024, but the Workspace still shows Free only. I need the account to be returned to the NFP Pro Plan we just paid for.AirTable is a central part of how we organize ourselves and our work--being on Free Tier has brought all the work we're doing for communities to an abrupt halt.  How can I expedite the process? (I've submitted a ticket and have yet to hear back.)

- I have a source table and a synced table- The synced table feeds Power BI- The person that set up these connections is no longer with us and my knowledge here is limitedQuestion: How can I sync newly added fields in the source table to the synced table? We have added new fields to the source, but I don't see them in the synced table and I need them so it can then feed to Power BI.

I often have issues with pasting into a cell.  It just hangs for a minute or two, sometimes longer.  I've read before that it could be because other fields need to be updated if they have have formulas that use that field. However, in my most recent case, I was simply pasting some text into a text field, and it took at least two minutes.  What is the problem, and is there a solution?

Dear Community, I have a tricky problem. When I want to call someone through the Airtable Phone App, I click on the small phone receiver button, and the iPhone asks me if I want to dial the number. However, for international numbers, the country code (+) or (00) is not included in the 'Call' display. This is a big problem, as I have many international phone numbers in my database. Is this a common issue that Airtable can solve? Is it just a problem for iPhones? Can anyone help me? 

I’ve followed the steps in this article to sync my base’s calendar view with Outlook. I get the successful import message, but none of my dates show up on my calendar. What am I missing?

Is it possible to edit multiple rows at once? I can select multiple rows, but it seems I can only mass delete or mass share - I want to set a certain field value for multiple rows at once.

SYNC TABLE WHILE KEEPING RELATED TABLES.Hello Airtable community,I have a situation that I don't know how to resolve with a synchronized table.1- Situation: I have a "Matrix" table in a base that I've been using since before the option to synchronize bases, where I've built a database with linked tables and a very robust interface.2- Problem: Now I find myself in the dilemma that I have a database in another base generated for "players" in my case, and what I would like is to synchronize it with my "Matrix" table while maintaining the columns generated with the linked tables, as well as the different lookups and rollups.The current situation is blocking me from creating a more collaborative interface with information from different bases.3- Question: Do you think what I'm considering is possible?Thank you very much!

Is there a way to mirror information from a lookup field into an adjacent long text field? I'm using Diagram Automator and the "insert image" function can't read/populate a URL from lookup field only a text field.Maybe a formula or script that could be used as an automation?

Hello. I've been working on a database template to share with other organizations doing similar work. I've recently published that template to the Airtable Universe, but two views are not transferring correctly. These two views are filtered views, and they are filtered based on the values in a lookup field. They are working in my base, but in the published version, the filter remains, but the values are listed as "unnamed position." Those look-up fields are themselves looking up data from a linked field that meets certain criteria. I'm assuming there is something that is breaking in all the steps necessary to carry this over. Any ideas?

Hi all,I've been looking into making some improvement to our airtable and one of the aspects I've been looking to improve is a form of order management. So in essence, we would be looking to move an item from a table to meet a condition such as ordered to some form of projects table, then once the project has been delivered we could move this invoicing Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciate, I'm keen to learn on all things airtable as it's a really good tool!

Hi everyone.  I'm not a coder so have been relying on ChatGPT to help me with scripts.  It gave me this one for a spellchecker that looks in a field for misspellings of the word "epilepsy".  I have checked the name of the field and of the table are correct and filled in accordingly, but when I run the script, nothing happens.  No error message, it just runs and the console remains empty.  Any ideas what's going on?  Here is my script:    // Define the table and field you want to check var tableName = "YourTableName"; // Replace with your actual table name var fieldName = "YourFieldName"; // Replace with your actual field name // List of common misspellings var misspellings = ["epilepsey", "epilipsy", "epilepcy", "epilepsy", "eppilepsy", "epillepsy", "epilepsy", "epliepsy", "epilespy", "epilepsie"]; // Function to search for misspellings asyn

Hello, I’m building a database for work and it works pretty well. I’ve just one small problem with linking field on 2 tables in a one-to-many way. I’m linking 1 record from table1 to many records on table2. Works great. On table 2, I desactivated the multirecord link so I can only link 1 record form table1. Great again. The problem is that from table 1 I can make another record which link to the same record on table 2. So when I look in my second table, in my “single record link field” I still end up with 2 differents records from table1 ! So what I would need is to be able to link multiple records from table1 to table2 but without being able to record 2 time the same one. Any idea ? Thanks you for this wonderfull tool ! Nicolas

It seems this may not be a robust as I’d hoped. I have set up project and task tables. I would like many tasks to one project. I went to tasks table, created link to projects with “allow linking to multiple records” disabled. This works great for assigning a task to a project. If I now go to the projects table I can still assign an already assigned task to a different project and this then carries back through to ‘pollute’ the task can only be assigned to one project constraint I set up. Seems the many to one is not truly in the database but just in the selection phase of the app. Worst case I could hide the link field in the Projects table and replace it with a lookup showing the same thing - this will force users to initate the link in the tasks table where the front end entry is enforcing the one-to-many while still allowing view of tasks. Is this just a limitation or is there a way I can work around this?

Since the new Personal Tokens (No API Keys) i cannot connect my airtable to typeform. Does someone has a solution for this? The extension also does not work for my case, as i have an Opinion Scale, which i cannot map. Thanks for your help!

Designing a Form in which I need a user to be able to select an Item from dropdown menu representing a Linked Record field, and then be shown what that Item looks like via Lookup of an Attachment field in the linked table, I’m shown an alert: “This field is read-only and won’t be displayed in the form”. The use case is straightforward though, and high-value: Forms that can allow user to see what to vote for. It’s available in rival products. When can I expect it in Airtable Forms?

Hello!Adding an entry to calendar view automatically set the time to midnight. Is there a way to change the default time to anything other than midnight?! Thanks!

Is there any plan to encourage developers to build more apps and write more scripts to marketplace? From the conversation I saw in the forum, getting your apps approved is so difficult and long. I feel Airtable now lacks vibrancy and enthusiasm of other tools (monday.com or coda.io).

Hello, I am seeking to pull a record that would have an image and then a few fields under the image from the same record and then repeat for all records in a filter. The custom text and layout fields of the page designer as well as being able to export make it quite desirable for this but I’m having issues getting the records to populate in this manner. The gallery view provides most of what I need as it gives me multiple records (of which I can filter by field) but the limitations on styling keep it from being an answer to my issue. The screen shot is of a gallery view, the first image/ record is laid out in the manner I’m seeking, and the second is the gallery view unchanged. Any assistance would be great.

Hi, Am I missing this option, or do I need to submit a feature request? I have a Table called Statuses, which I use on multiple tables and multiple fields so that I don’t have to setup a single select 20+ times. When I make a new record, any fields linked to Statuses should default to “0-Not Started” record form Statuses. Is there an option I am missing to set the default linked field?

I am using Integromat to pick up a webhook sent from Airtable. I want to then whitelist the Airtable IP addresses How to know the IP of my airtable account - #2 by Bill.French ← question was asked here, but not answered (a re-open might be a good option so we can re-open questions). To answer some of the questions in that original post: I understand this is not a cure-all security method, it does provide one more layer of protection. Yes, a webhook is my preferred method of sending data from Airtable in this instance as this webhook works across a number of services - so it is not a read Airtable first scenario. Thanks

HiI have some linked tables. The first link is between "People" and "Working Groups". When in the Working Group table I can look up people's names and add them to the field "Members". When in the People table, I can make a link back to Working Groups, and a field called working groups will self populate with all the Working Groups that people are members off. This is all working fine.I have a second link between "People" and "Training". When in the Training table I can look up people's names and add them to the field "Attendees". When in the People table, I can make a link back to Training, but I can't make a field that will self populate with all the training people have received. What am I doing wrong?The only difference in layout between Working Groups and Training, is that training's unique identifier is a date.Any light you could shed would be very helpful.Thanks,Davva

For some reason I cannot select the text within my formulas, meaning I cannot choose which text to copy for pasting later. It is only within the formula editing that I cannot edit the text. I can select text everywhere else:Selected text on here:Can't select text hereOkay to select text here:  

Hi, is there a way for Airtable to automatically log me out due to inactivity? I dont want it to stay open if i am not using it. Thanks

While on a product feedback call with proj. management platform ClickUp, I asked if there were any 'Airtable-like features' in development or on their roadmap.I proceeded to explain my love for Airtable as an early adopter, but they continue to make user-hostile changes, refuse to listen to the community, & price increases. "Are you familiar with Airtable?" I asked.  "Yes, only because I've had 3-4 people tell me the same exact thing in the past few months. The team is looking into what it might look like." So to the point of my story. If he's heard it 3-4 times, ClickUp has had DOZENS (or more?) of requests from unhappy Airtable customers. This also means HUNDREDS (or more?) of folks have shared similar sentiments to other productivity SaaS. My true hope is to stick with Airtable, that it goes back to respecting the community, especially after all the layoffs but without changes at the top, I
