Re: No input method to select a User? · Mar 05, 2024

On big Airtable-based systems I have built for clients, this is not an issue because we end up having a User table anyway, with a lot of business logic attached to it (permissions, employee info, etc), and we sync it to other bases where we need to a...

I have no particular opinion about who should set this field: whether the OP or the forum admins. Editable by OP: + more democratic + less work for Airtable staff - risk of not being updated - risk of long and confusing debate threads Editable by Air...
