Add Form Name to Table

The closest I’ve gotten is a prefilled form with the selection limited to one option. And one form for each option type.

Thanks @Mac for your quick response!
Yeah I seen this. It works but I not 100% happy with it.
I would like to not display this kind of information to user of the form. So I’m looking for another way.

I hear you! The other option is trying to cobble something together in Zapier. @openside might have some insights on this.

Good luck! I’ll be watching this thread, I have the same problem with my forms!

Hi @Rodolphe_Rodolphe / @Mac - if using Airtable forms, I’ll often use the prefill feature and rename the label of the field to something like ‘Internal Use Only - do not modify’ so that people know not to mess with it. Obviously not ideal, and one of the reasons we went looking for a better approach and found that with Jotform (https://jotform.com). We have an integration plugin for that to be able to access your Airtable data from within your jotform which allows for a ton more functionality with your forms.

Its currently in beta - so anyone interested feel free to reach out at support@openside.com and we can provide more details.

Thanks for posting this @Mac — I know it’s not ideal to have an extra form question for users, but it really helped me out today. Thanks!

Hi there!

At miniExtensions, we've created a third-party form that integrates seamlessly with Airtable and supports default values, and offers advanced prefilling capabilities, such as prefilling hidden fields (the fields don't have to be part of the form's structure or its URL) or automatically submitting the form after prefilling, which is ideal when you need to add extra information to your existing workflow (e.g., capture IP address or location data):
