Make Fields Editable on Record Detail Interface

[meisu]

Hi, I'm really new to Airtable. I was wondering if there was a way to add a button to make fields editable for the Record Detail template. Basically, I want to be able to edit and update the current record on the Record Detail.

This is configurable in the side panel settings. Depending on the field type, it will present itself differently.

Linked Records - Find the Link/Unlink setting.
Formulas - You can't edit because the value is determined by the formula, not inputted by a user
Pretty much any others looks like this and you can toggle between them.

There is Documentation here:
Configuring Elements in Interfaces | Airtable Support

Look for "Making elements editable for collaborators"

Just to add, here's a fun little thing I built.

I wanted my interface to have static information, but I also wanted a button to enable editing. It's sort of like viewing your contacts on your phone. I made a workaround for it.

I first duplicated my static interface page and hid the copy from the navigation. With the copy, I toggled the fields I wanted to be editable. Next, I created two formulas to find the URL for both the "Static" and "Editable" record details page. I then made a button on each interface to redirect you to either the static or editable sides.

The URL formulas look something like this:

"https://airtable.com/app...../...../" &  RECORD_ID() & "?....."

From the user side, it all looks like I've created a toggle when it's actually redirecting you to a secret editable page.
