Update: we launched an extension that allows you to update exiting records using Airtable form.
It might fits you more depending on your needs.
With this extension, you can share an editor for an Airtable view. You can decide which fields are shown in the editor, and it gives you a password-protected URL to share with those you’d like to give access to.
💡This extension is ideal for an employer who wants some employees to do light work on Airtable with limited access.

Overall Limitations
- Records limit: the max number of records that can be loaded at once is 500. (capped for performance reasons)
- Grouped records: grouping feature is not supported.
- Filter and sort: filtering and sorting settings are inherited from the defined Airtable view. No control options in the Editor.
- Deleting records: feature is not supported.
- Bulk edit: editing values in bulk is not supported. Only 1 at a time (no shift+select).
- Live updates: changes that are made on Airtable won’t reflect in the Editor until the page is refreshed. e.g. filtered records won’t be removed/added and sorted records won’t move until page is refreshed manually.
- Row number: the row number on the left side of each record is not displayed.
- Undo changes: no option for Command+Z.
- Column width: unadjustable.
- Row height: unadjustable.
Note
Inserting records: editor users can add new records by clicking a button that brings up an Airtable form (not like the bottom row in Airtable).
