Can you create new views via script?

[Ariel_Gross]

I did some searching but wanted to be certain since I’m still relatively new to the scripting block.

Does anyone know if there is a way to create new views?

My use case is that I currently manually create a suite of views each time I add a new client and/or project. For every project I will have an All view that shows everything about it, then an Open view that only shows stuff that’s currently being worked on, an Invoice view that gives me a summary of the tasks that need to be invoiced to make my invoicing faster, etc.

Currently I have template views that I duplicate and update the related filters to have it show the right records. I’d love to automate this with the scripting block, but I don’t see a way to create new views from script.

Am I missing something? Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, this is still relevant because the new INTERFACES are not Scriptable (for the present) nor Shareable like the Views are (for the present).

I was hoping to hear that this was possible, but sad to hear it isn’t. Perhaps I can get by with creating new tables. :crossed_fingers:

Would love a feature to create new views via script blocks.

Hi Stephen, I am also currently looking at this feature and would love to see something allowing these actions!!! I love Airtables I am forever recommending the platform to friends in my profession and this would only enrich the experience further:)
Kind regards,
Jordan

I’d be happy just to settle on being able to return Visible Field Names/IDs per view into both the Scripting Extension and an Automation Script. I’m not sure why this particular feature is missing - as we have the ability to hardcode in the visible field object - but there’s no method to simply return and use view field visibility.

For example, here we have the await input.recordAsync method that specifically has an optional “fields” argument - but the only way we can fulfill that fields argument is by manually hard-coding our own fields object - because there’s no way to actually access which fields are visible on a per-view basis.

    let myRecord = await input.recordAsync(`Assign ${element} for ${primaryRecord.getCellValueAsString("Name")} Class`, recordFilter, 
    {fields : myViewData[element]});

Okay, it is 2024. Any updates?
