I’ve imported several tables into AT. They each had a day field (no time element). I just noticed all the dates are +1 day from what they should be. How is this even possible?More importantly, how do I fix it?

Somewhat recently, Airtable updated self-linked record fields so they automatically create a second field on the same table showing the inverse relationship — same as how linking between two different tables has always created a field on both sides.I have a few tables with self-links that I set up before that change, and they're still one-way. Is there a way to add the inverse field to an existing self-link without deleting and recreating it? 

Buildathon New York was a blowout success, and I've got high hopes for Airspace LA. Let me know if you'll be there. I would love to meet up in real life! https://airspace.airtable.com/

I’m working on a proof of concept for a product we’re releasing.  The idea is a pretty landing page that potential, existing students can sign up for a session or two.  We also want the data to be gathered and reported within AT, hence shying away from the Zoom + landing page.  Anyone setup any “cool” Airtable portals.  Would love to experiment, again for proof of concept.

We’re using Airtable to review pdf documents, and the thumbnail on the interface page is just 5-10% too small for our users to do their job. They need to be able to look at the document and enter information on the same page, and clicking on the attachment field to get a better look takes the user away from the fields the need to access.Setting the appearance to “hero” in the settings and fitting the image to size makes it slightly too small to be useable. Unchecking “fit image size” degrades the quality to slightly too fuzzy to be comfortable to read.Noloco’s interface solves this particular problem easily, because they place the preview window directly in the interface, but we want to go back to Airtable’s native interface for a lot of other reasons.Does anyone have an idea of how to solve this, or can we request a slightly larger zoom on a pdf fit to size, or better quality preview resolution?

Our team just got home from spending a few days at the NASCIO mid-year conference, where we heard from IT and Operations leaders from around the US talking about their prerogative on AI, what it means to ‘Modernize’ and some of the current IT projects that are top of mind. Among many topics, we heard most about:IT Portfolios that have no central project management or progress tracking Enterprise Governance and Responsible AI Adoption Procurement workflows that live in spreadsheets ITSM and Asset Management that is disconnected across several tools Leaders needing a more consistent ‘single-pane-of-glass’ to measure their success against key initiatives Would welcome any additions to the list of what we should prioritize, or your thoughts on any of the above!

There is a BASE / Table / bunch of fields.There is web app using API, which neatly makes a form for users to change their details, not just create as Airtable native forms.Everything works perfectly, until team member changes the field name.I know you can use serial name “fld123ABC456”, but it involves creating another object to hold pairs of serial names and human readable name. Code is also much cleaner with field names. rawContacts[xyz].fields[“Some Field Name”] reads much better than rawContacts[xyz].fields.fld123ABC456Question: is there a native way to find who and when made a field name change.Also how the change was made old name → new name and old type → new type I have been asking Airtable, as enterprise user for years now, to implement admin layer on field definitions, so that very few people can make these devastating changes. In the meantime, is there a log of these changes natively?Or does it have to be a hack of either manually defininThere is a BASE / Table / bunch of fi

I’ve been building a workflow that connects Airtable to a CMS so blog content can move from planning to publishing with less manual work.The setup usually includes title, slug, content, images, publish date, and status fields, plus a draft/review/publish flow.I’m curious how others here manage content operations: do you keep Airtable as the source of truth, or do you use it only for planning?Happy to share the structure I use if anyone is trying to reduce manual blog publishing work.

Hey all, I’m making a Custom Interface Extension table module so I can have user facing sorting on the dashboard template. I’m trying to figure out how I can have the order of the columns tied to the order of the fields in the data panel the same way it works in the native AT tables. Anyone know? Thank you. 

Hi everyone — I’m curious whether any colleges or universities are using Airtable as an alumni database and/or as a platform to support alumni–student or alumni–alumni networking.If so, I’d love to hear how it’s going: what’s working well, what challenges you’ve encountered, and any lessons learned around scale, access, or engagement. If you’re open to a brief conversation or sharing examples, that would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! My contact info is mdeitch@haverford.edu 

Hi All, We are considering using Airtable for our team to manage projects we are doing for client. However, some of the data will be sensitive data belonging to the client. What’s the best way to manage this?  

Hi everyone,I earned my Airtable certification using my previous work email address. I no longer work for that company, and I’d like to renew my certification using my current email/account.Has anyone here successfully transferred or merged their Airtable Academy certification history, badges, or Community profile from an old work account to a new personal or work account?I’m especially interested in understanding:whether Airtable Support can merge Academy and Community profiles; what information they usually ask for; whether certification history and badges are preserved after the transfer; how long the process usually takes.Thanks in advance for any advice or experience you can share.

Hey all, figured I’d ask this question and see if anyone has advice/experience, plus it’s been awhile since an Outlook integration thread in case of application changes…So I’ve got an active automation setup integrated with an Outlook calendar wherein people submit tickets and dates, and when a date is created an automation fires to create an Outlook event, with the Outlook ID written into the record for reference. Then when certain conditions are met, another automation fires to update the Outlook Calendar event by referencing the ID. For the most part (like 97% of the time) this works fine, but I’m having a devil of a time on that last 3%. Some of this is accountable to people using the data layer and fulfilling update conditions at creation, those are able to be rectified. The real bothersome one is that rarely the creation automation gets thrown the error Microsoft reported an error while processing this action: An unknown error occurred. I appreciate how descriptive this is 🤪I’m

I have created a “Release Planner” base in Airtable for coordinating all the steps we have to complete for a software release. I created one table called ‘Template”, and I copy that template to a new table for each release.Now, I want to set up automations to notify me and the assigned to person daily while any task is open, across all tables. I seem only to have been able to set it up on one, but then it doesn’t copy over when I copy the template to a new table. And I can’t seem to set it up the right way every time, plus it’s time consuming. Does anyone have a hack for creating a base-wide notification? Or a way to copy automations across tables?Happy to do scripting, but I would need detailed instructions, as I haven’t done that in Airtable before.Thank you!

It’s been quite a while since major AI labs released new models, yet we still don’t see them available in the selectors. Models like Nano Banana 2, Opus 4.7, GPT Images 2.0, GPT 5.5 and others are already out there, but not accessible here. I’m not sure how to tag the developers directly, but hopefully this can get some visibility and we can receive some clarification on upcoming updates.

Hi all, I am running into a challenge again related to automations and multiple select fields. I have a table where locations are input as “city, province” (I live in Canada). For example, “Toronto, ON”. When a record is approved, an automation kicks in and has to populate the location field in another table. The problem is that when I assign the location field in the 2nd table as a multiple select, the automation splits the city and province (“Toronto”, “ON”). I tried making the location field in the 2nd table as a single line text but still the problem exists. I have spent so much time trying to figure this out but am unable to. Is there a way around it? Thanks so much.I am attaching screenshots showing how the location is populated in both tables. 

Hi all,Quick question for those working with managed apps in Airtable.Has anyone managed to use AI fields directly in a managed app (the source app that pushes structure to child apps)?On our side, AI can be enabled at the workspace level, and it works fine in the child apps. But we’re not able to use AI fields in the managed app itself, which is where we define our core data model.Our goal would be to include AI fields directly in the template, so they are consistently deployed across all apps.Is this a known limitation, or are we missing something?Would love to hear how others are handling this, especially in setups with multiple apps and a shared model.Thanks!

Hi Airtable Community, I’ve got a sandbox running on one of my networked Airtable bases as I work on configuration to connect it to another platform, but I keep getting an error message when I try to apply changes made in the Sandbox to Production:  It’s the same error every time. I have creator permissions in both environments, as do the accounts of our external vendor working on the integration. I emailed Support, and was greatly disappointed to get an AI bot response. I’m hoping some real human beings can help me out.

Good Morning, I am working on building a table where my daily sales data is entered, and that data point from this year can be compared to the same day of the week from the previous year. I am not a professional developer, so forgive me if my knowledge is at the beginner level. Currently, all of the data is populating correctly, but I have to manually enter in the SelfLink value. I have tried to create an automation for when a new record is created, however have been unsuccessful so far. Here is a screenshot of how the relevant points from the table are set up. My question is, do I need an automation, or is there a lookup field that I could enter into get the selflink field to automatically reference the corresponding day from the calendar week number of the previous year?Any direction on how to correctly format either option is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi all,I am having trouble with a nested “IF” formula which I believe is correct because when I enter it into the formula field, it is accepted and saved. However, when I then click on “Edit field” to view the formula, it has “self-changed” the formula to something else. This is my original formula which the formula field is accepting:IF({Transaction Status} = "Order Filled", IF({Transaction Type} = "Sell", ({Total Cryptocurrency Value USDT}-({Value per Buy Cryptocurrency USDT (from Linked Buy Transaction (From field: Linked Sell Transactions))} * {Amount of Cryptocurrency})) * 0.35), IF({Transaction Type} = "Buy", IF({Total Sell Transaction Values USDT (from Linked Sell Transactions from Transactions)} = {Total Cryptocurrency Value USDT}, ({Total Sell Transaction Values USDT (from Linked Sell Transactions from Transactions)})-{Total Cryptocurrency Value USDT}) * 0.35, IF({Total Sell Transaction Values USDT (from Linked Sell Transactions from Transactions)} < {Total Cryptocurrency V

Hi,As our team has grown from 1 person to over 5, we’re seeing an increasing amount of user errors, leading to costly data fixing maintenance. To some part a new user will become more proficient over time and will be able to avoid errors, but as long as it’s possible to err, humans will. The aim is to further expand, so at this point I’m taking some time to consider alternatives.What alternatives/add-ons are there one could consider to improve the UX and data integrity? I want to stick to Airtable as the system centre, but I am willing to fork over some parts of the most used interfaces to another system, if that would bring order to the current issues. Mobile use is not critical for use, lean laptop use is.I remember hearing about Noloco in some discussion. Would that help? What other systems comes to your mind?At the heart of our problems are these Airtable’s inabilities:inability to update a record only when separate (e.g.) “OK/Save” is clicked inability to force interface fields to
