Online registration with multi-table information

Unfortunately, that is one of the major limitations of Airtable. It is not possible to create new linked records from a form.

You have 2 workarounds for this limitation:

1. On the first form, give the user a link to ANOTHER FORM which will allow them to add new records to the linked table. Then, they can come back to the first form to continue their data entry.
2. On the first form, in the linked record field, give the user an option to choose from that is called "new record" or something like that. Then, conditionally show additional fields where they can type in the new information. Then, use an automation to add the new record into the appropriate table.

However, instead of the clunky workarounds above, your #1 best bet is to use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable, which already has this functionality natively built into its forms.

Fillout is 100% free and offers hundreds of advanced features that aren’t natively available in Airtable’s native forms, such as the ability to:

• create new linked records on a form
• update Airtable records using a form
• create custom PDF files from a form submission
• accept payments on forms
• pre-fetch dynamic data from an Airtable record
• customize the style and branding of your form
• customize a theme for your form
• display Airtable lookup fields on forms
• create multi-page forms with conditional paths
• add a login page to your form
• perform math or other live calculations on your forms
• collect signatures on a form
• connect a single form to dozens of external apps simultaneously
• add CAPTCHAs to your form
• and much more.

I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:

• Using Fillout to add new linked records to a form.
• Using Fillout to update an existing Airtable record & create an eSignature approval process with PDF file creation.

Hope this helps!

Simplest way to handle this is to use Fillout I reckon and it’s free for up to 1k submissions a month: https://www.fillout.com/

You could potentially handle it with just Airtable, but it’d be really clunky

​@ScottWorld Thanks for taking the time to reply in great detail. I really appreciate it. I’ll give FillOut a go and see if I can get that to work. Thanks again. 

​@TheTimeSavingCo 

Thanks for your reply, Adam. I’ll poke around FillOut and see if I can get that implemented. The 1000 submissions limit isn’t a problem as I only expect around 600 Christmas Hamper clients. 
Cheers!
