You can use a Concatenate formula for the record ID to bring in various information from your table.

Thanks @Mac. Would I do that on the form? Or on the event record itself?

And, I figured it out. Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

Note that Airtable’s new form builder will now allow you to choose which fields you want to display in the linked record dropdown menu.

So this is good news, but that bad news is that you can only choose 2 or 3 fields to display before Airtable starts cutting off all your text.

So the formula field trick might still be the best way, if you want to stick with Airtable’s forms.

However, the much better way of handling this is to simply use Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to display as many fields as you want in a linked record field without ever cutting off those fields — and you can let people search on any of those fields as well!

Fillout also lets you update Airtable records using a form, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, control access to a form via SSO or email domains, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, accept payments on forms, collect signatures on a form, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, create new linked records 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 create an eSignature approval process with PDF file creation.
• Using Fillout to create an order entry form with line items.

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire the best Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld
