Why is it possible to link records in iOS but there’s no “x” to unlink?
Am I missing how to do that? It would be rather annoying to have to go on my computer just to unlink when I prob will only use this program (which is fantastic btw!) on my iPad.

We are working on a complex student reporting table for an education organisation and we’ve come across this use case:
We have a students table, a programmes table, an attendance table and a results table. We’d like to be able to create a new student, select the programme they are enrolled in and have Airtable automatically create an empty “results row” in the results table and an “attendence row” in the attendance table. Both should have the student name and the programme linked in the relevant link field.
This would save a lot of manual work for the organisation

Hi. I accidentally dragged the little square on the bottom right of a text field thinking it would expand the text box.
Instead it has overwritten several text fields below it that contained data.
Can I reverse this and get the data back?
Thanks (I hope)

I’m using Twilio for.more and more things, and I wish there was a deeper integration between that service and Airtable. Especially now that Twilio Studio exists.
So, here’s my wish list:
Text notifications for changes to records or a new record in a view
Send mass texts
store incoming texts and voicemails associate it with a phone number of a contact
Send stored messages in Airtable based on an action over text.

This feels like a bug because it is totally confusing as a user that you can’t add rows when applying multiple groupings. You simply don’t get the + icon on the last row.
I eventually figured out that I had to get rid of the other level of grouping so I can add records, but now I have lost the structure I was trying to use to organize my sheet. I have no idea why this isn’t supported, but it’s pretty broken in the current implementation.

Just discovered the product and love it, however we need to be able to create bases based on Zapier zaps and I was disappointed to see that pretty basic feature as far as integration goes is missing, I hope you consider adding it in the future.
I also hope to see a more condensed list view of bases (I do see you can switch between grids and lists). We won’t have large bases, but we will have many.
Thanks you

The default sort order of mixed numbers & text is usually numbers, then text. Airtable seems to do symbols, alpha, then numbers.
For example, normally in in Excel stored as text:
1
18
1a
Airtable sorts as
1
1a
18
While not necessarily a bug (which is why I put it here instead of the other forum), it is not what is typical for other applications so it is inconvenient.

I’ve been using the product for about 4 minutes and the first thing I want to do with project tracking is view by client. Am I missing something? If I am not missing a simple way to do this. I will make a category for every client, which seems redundant. I would think this wouldn’t be a custom filter since it is so rudimentary.
Thank you for looking into this.

I have records for music tracks of an album, each with a own playtime field as text in the format “m:s”.
I know how to use a formula to convert this values to seconds and the “sum” shows also the correct values of all records in seconds but how can I display this sum value as a formatted text like “h:m:s” to have the complete runtime of all tracks in this collection?
Unfortunately the “sum” function doesn’t have a formatting option, so I need something different, but I have completely no idea how to do this.

Hi everyone !
I’m trying to figure out if I can link to another record but with a record’s list without items yet choosen.
Here’s a concrete example : I’m trying to get an inventory of my videogame collection. And I need to create bundles which contain hardware, accessories and games. I create a table for the accessories because I need to have a view of all the accessories. I choose to create a line for each same accessory to get a count (by grouping). Maybe it’s not the right way to achieve that.
But afterall I need to decrease the count of accessories available for bundles, each time it’s used in a bundle. I want to do that to avoid errors because I need to recreate bundles in the physical world (for a tradeshow).
Hope someone understand what I’m trying to achieve.
Thanks for any help !
