One of my fields is a link to another table. Iโ€™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.

Weโ€™ve built another extension that allows form users to add new linked records before reaching Airtable from.

Create New Linked Records in Airtable Forms

I just took out a subscription, and glad now it was only for one month. Even MS Access did this back in the mid 90โ€™s.

@Airtable, all you need to do is make the โ€œaddโ€ button link to a form on the child table, and return to the parent form on submit with the new record in place.

People have been asking for this for 4 years and without it, may as well go back to spreadsheets.

Agreed, it doesnโ€™t make sense to have to perform two external integration just to do a simple task like this

Itโ€™s not useful for me personally as I donโ€™t want to pay for Congnito and Zapier for something that should be in Airtableโ€ฆ

Also a heavy plus one.

Odd that only one Airtable representative has popped in to say anythingโ€ฆ despite a clear and succinct callout of the problem and solution nearly two years ago Add new linked record when entering data in a form

+1 for me too. Seems obvious.

Huge +1 from me! And it would be nice to know whether this feature is on a roadmap or not

+1 for me too โ€“ have a hard time believing this is still an issue 4 hours after the first post in this thread!

Weโ€™ve added a new feature to our extension that allows you to add line items in the form and automatically link them to the record being created.
