Hi everyone,

In an interface form, I have this field that is linked to another source.

When clinking the "+ Add record", my end user will have the possibility to link a record from another table.

Unfortunately, when I click on the "+ Add record" button, a new form open, with nothing but just the autonumber of the record, and no other details.

As you can see on the picture above, just the autonumber, which is somewhat really tricky to know which record to select...

Details for the form's parameters here :

Can someone please explain how to show all the details from the other table on that form?

Thank you a lot,

Elie

 

Unfortunately, that is not possible with Airtable's forms.

Your only option within Airtable itself is to change your primary field (in the linked table) to be a formula field which contains all the information that you would like to see on the form.

Otherwise, most people these days are using Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable for this.

Fillout does exactly what you want — and it is natively built into their app.

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, create custom PDF files from a form submission, accept payments on forms, display Airtable lookup fields on forms, create new linked records on a form, control access to a form via SSO or email domains or a list of email addresses stored in Airtable, perform math or other live calculations on your forms, collect signatures on a form, create multi-page forms with conditional paths, 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:

Thank you for your answer ! Guess I'll have to redo all my interfaces on fillout !

Have a great day,

Elie

@elie11 You're welcome! Note that you can always add a button or a link onto your existing Airtable interfaces to take people to the appropriate Fillout form.
