Hello Airtable Community!


I am going to make this simple and sweet. Is there any way to accomplish what this article is doing, but instead of just updating the primary “Name” field, I can update a status? This may not be possible but I figured it was worth a shot.




Our organization essentially has a lot of people outside of our admin team that we delegate the “status” of a particular project and need a way for them to update this status through a form submission and without having access to Airtable. Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

Hi @its.JEthSUS

I am pretty sure you can, give it a shot.


As Vivid stated, this is definitely doable via automations and the guide you linked


If you don’t want to deal with automations, you could set up a form that asks the respondent to select the project they’re maintaining from a Linked field and set it’s status


Then you could use a combination of rollups and lookups to display the latest form submission as well


Yes, this can be done with 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 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:
