Hi folks,
I have embedded into a web page:
A table
Containing a lookup field
From a synced table - and it looks like this:
At the moment, expanding the record in the lookup field only opens up the one cell:
But I want it to open this:
Can this be done?
So many thanks for your attention.
Shawn

Expanding a record in an embedded shared view works just like it does when expanding a record in Airtable:
You can either:
- Click once in a cell and then press the spacebar
or - You can click on the blue arrows in the left margin

Hi @ScottWorld - thanks for your reply.
This doesn’t do what I’m wanting to do, though.
Selecting the cell containing the items I want to open (circled in blue) and then hitting the space bar opens the record containing that field - circled in red:
When that record opens, the items I want to open (again circled in blue) are no longer available as synced records that can be opened; they are just non-editable text:
When I am in Airtable itself, I can select that cell, click the blue arrows, and open up a dialog box that allows me to open each individual record, and see all of its details:
But when I hit the blue arrows on the embedded version of the field, all I get is this:
Not clickable, no access to the information contained in those records.
Is there a way to set up an embedded table view so those records are accessible?

Oh, I see what you’re saying. Unfortunately, that is not a feature of shared views. You may want to submit this to support@airtable.com as a feature request.
