When I use the search extension in Airtable, it works well for finding a record. However, when I click on a record, it shows me the fields, but I would like to be able to edit them. I have a view that is very well organized, and I was hoping to see the record displayed according to that field arrangement, but unfortunately, I haven't found a way to do this.

My goal is to quickly search for a record and, upon clicking it, display the specific information I need. So far, I haven't been able to organize the displayed information in the way I want.

Hm, the field order is taken from the first collaborative Grid view of the table in question, and so in the following screenshot the field order from ‘Grid 2’ would be used when you opened a record via the Search extension

Hi,
On Grid view, select ‘Copy another view’s configuration’ , select all, or exact elements you interested (visibility, order, sort, filtering). Records will be displayed according to Grid View.
Also, if you are searching in a single table, choose your view and use Ctrl+F instead of Search Extension.
