Hello All,


I have some fields in my database that are mandatory at different stage.

I want to do a form with the first fields for the first time, and then send another form prefill and update the record.

I do not see how to update. Is there a way to do it ?

thanks

Hi @Alexandre_Husset


A new filled in form always creates a new record. So without some extra actions, u can’t use a (second) form to update an existing record.


You could try to receive the input of the second form in a different table and then use AT automations to update the original record (eg by selecting that (linked) record in your form). Just a thought.

hello,

thanks for your answer that’s what I did but I thought that there was maybe another solution.

Yes, this can now be done very easily 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:
