At the moment the form only allows input of new data. Can we have a form for editing existing records? At the moment we can only edit in the table meaning I can’t present the records the way I want. Can’t even hide columns on mobile, meaning the users are free to wreak havoc on the existing data :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I am very interested in FormNano but I am having a hard time getting a hold of someone about the Pro plan.

I am also finding a need for a Form to edit existing data. Here is my scenario:
I am managing our active projects to collect clinical data and I work with a research specialist who helps gather the data and measure it. I have a Base with all the current projects and I would love the specialist to be able to be able to select which project from the form, and update certain columns with the latest on data gathered/measured.

My vote too! I have a very wide table showing customer information. I need to see and edit all of the data for one customer at a time. Scrolling side-to-side and having to click on each long-text field (or having an even wider table) is not an option.

This is a make-or-break feature for me. First requested in 2016 and the only response shows the developers think it’s an optional feature.

How have we not had a dev response in over 2 years here? This is a make or break feature for me and the company I work for. I’d like to use @Sam_Wood s solution, but I’m wary of passing over our API fully to someone.

This is the functionality that would make me go pro. Here’s my use case:

I have a big client database, with lots of client info that periodically needs to be updated. If I could give out a private link to a form that pulls up their record, and allows them to edit the fields I designate, hide fields I don’t want them to see, and shows them fields that I want them to see, but not be able to edit those read-only fields, we’d save a ton of time manually entering information that they are better off entering in themselves (like email addresses).

Yes, in general, I think that Airtable would be wise to copy more features from FileMaker Pro, which is the gold standard of database systems.
