I wrote a script to create a record, but I’m trying to link it to another record (Customers table) when I create it. I have the Customer Name and ID field value, but AirTable doesn’t seem to like the format I’m using for the ID.
I’m getting the error...
Is it possible to create multiple links between one table and another? For example, can I link from Table A to Table B on both a Record Number and have a separate link by Company Name? I think the answer is no and that I should use a concatenated fie...
I’m new to AirTable, but have been a FileMaker developer for many years, and I’m trying to figure out the AirTable way of doing things. I wrote a simple time tracking application and I would like to create invoice line items from each of the time sli...
I added a timer app to a table. Is there a way to attach it to a button in a grid view record to directly start the timer, instead of opening the app area, running the app and selecting the record? Thanks.

Thanks, Scott. That script worked quite well. The only drawback is that it opens the scripting window when it runs, but I’ll put that on my list of AirTable things to figure out.
That’s an interesting idea. I tried running the same script as an automation, but it failed for me. I suspect that it’s losing focus and isn’t “in” any record when it runs, but you must know how to get around that.
