Issue: The Description app is handy, but it’s too easy to edit and accidentally modify. Example: when you set up a series of links as a resource, users have to click to EDIT the description in order to get a little popup that you can THEN click to op...

I have a custom solution that automates adding a linked record and auto-filling some fields, and the app is wired to a button. Every time the button is pressed, the sidebar opens to the app. I imagine this is totally expected behavior, and desirable ...

Resurfacing the discussion from Reload app on useRecordActionData hook since it was never really solved. I have the same issue. I’ve tried useEffect() and useState() to store and update the state, but Airtable’s button action appears to generate reco...

@Kamille_Parks I’ve ALMOST got a suitable compromise working. To create a consistent UX whether the user is in grid or expanded record views, I call viewport.enterFullScreenIfPossible if it’s not already in full screen. This way there’s a loading gra...
