I am trying to create a form (must be a form to avoid licensing/orgfencing issues) that a seller will use to nominate 1-n users. I figured I would use conditional text to add the next nomination (i.e., if they fill in the first nominee -- more than one piece of information -- the option for a second would appear, and so on).
Is there a way for a single form to create multiple records in my table?
You can use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable to create multiple new records in a linked table using a linked record field.

I can't. No 3rd-party/non-Airtable-vetted extensions allowed.
(But thank you for the suggestion!)
Yeah what you've got in mind is pretty much the only way to do it natively at this time I'm afraid. You'd combine it with an automation that would create X records based on how many of those nomination fields were filled out via conditional checks. (Or if you know scripting that'd be simpler)
Tedious to set up and very hardcoded, but it works!
I understand that you are not looking for 3rd party tools, but in case anybody comes across this in the future I highly recommend our miniExtensions form, which has the most advances linked record functionality out there. This way, you can create as many records in a linked table as you'd like with a single form! 🙂
