Is your account set to either “creator” or “owner”?
If so, and you still can’t edit that field, I would reach out to support@airtable.com to ask them about this. Be sure to post back here with what they say!

i’m a owner…I can’t understand why in some cases I can create it. I don’t think there is a limit to the formulas in the free plan

Probably some bug. Let us know what they say!

Hi Francesco,
Alex from Airtable Support here ?? Happy to help!
It seems you are aiming to use a formula field as the primary field. The primary field (the first column in any table) can be configured as a formula, which takes data from other fields in the table to compose a unique name for each record. This can be useful if your table does not lend itself particularly well to a single unique primary field.
For more details, please feel free to check this article.
It’s certainly not a solution…I just can’t write inside the formula field…
