Not all data records are stored in my table A, so some fields are empty. Now I would like to fill the empty fields using a form. is this possible?

Approach: I would have to select the data record or data from the primary field so that the data records to be updated can be assigned correctly. so that the missing data is added when submitting the form.

I think that the best option for your need is to update your data directly in the table, or to create a "records review" interface if you want to update the records one by one with the possibility to dispose the fields vertically.

Hello,

Forms are made to insert new records, not to update existing ones. This being said, why do you want to use a form to update these records? Is it because you want read only users to update the records?

table with details about a car. Not all of the data is filled out there at the beginning. Later I would like to add one or another record until all fields are complete.

It would be visually nicer to do this using a form instead of editing the data record in a list overview. would work too.

Alternatively, Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable are specifically designed to let you update Airtable records from a form.

But, as @Pascal_Gallais- discussed above, you wouldn’t need a form for this.
