One of my fields is a link to another table. I’d like end-users who are using the Form to add data to be able to create new records in the linked table but from the primary table data entry form.

+1 over here too! Would be such a useful feature to allow wider team members to contribute to our Base from a nice form view.

+1 Definitely need this functionality.

Not sure a specific use case is necessary to understand what is needed. “+ Add new record” is available as an option when entering data into a linked grid view; we need the same option available when entering data into the corresponding form view. Ideally, this functionality would come with a toggle, so when off (false), the form user cannot add a new record; when on (true), the form user CAN add a new record.

Any chance this solution is on the horizon?

+1 been waiting a year for this. Does dev have any response, working on it? Estimated time?

How many +1s are needed before someone from Airtable responds to let us know if this is a feature they will look into? The silence is deafening.

+1 on this as well - trying to find a way for new users to add their info into a form; if the functionality were the same as on the main base, it would be perfect - for now, we’re at an awkward crossroads.
