Multiple forms on same page

I know airtable doesn't have the ability to do this, but I wonder if anyone here has a clever solution.

For context, we're a non-profit vege farm. A few of the things we keep records on need many records created at the same time. For example, when I seed trays of 15 different crops in the nursery, or I sow a cover crop into a bed (sometimes 10+ species). Each crop in either of those instances has unique data stored against it - Date, quantity, etc.

We need to be able to do this on mobile, as we're in the field, and unfortunately the table view of airtable isn't very easy to do this on mobile. 

And unfortunately having to submit a form 15 different times is confusing and time consuming. 

The ideal solution would be a form that could collect all data against each instance, but airtable doesn't allow that.

Does anyone have any ideas to help with this workflow? I have seen on2air, but unfortunately as a non-profit, spending more and more $ on record collection is really really hard to justify.

Hey there, I just wanted to add that our miniExtensions form might be of use here! It has a "duplicate record" feature, which can be used to add a button into an Airtable grid that takes the current record and creates a duplicate of it. This can be set up to either see the new record before actually submitting it, or to auto-submit as an exact replica, after which you could make the necessary adjustments in Airtable itself. I think this could be super useful for your use case!
