Added You can now hide field titles for portal summary fields! This gives you the ability to either not show a title at all for a more streamlined look, or to set a custom title by simply including it in the field itself.

Added A brief success message is now shown when creating a new linked record through a child form.

Added We have added a shortcut to the dashboard to add our extension from the Airtable Marketplace. This makes it easier to administer the extensions for each base. Give it a try!

Added When running an automation in test mode, the record that has been processed will now be opened automatically for your convenience.

Improved We are now showing the actual extension instead of the configuration page when creating a brand new extension, or when accessing an extension from the dashboard.

Improved Any new forms that are created will now add up to the first 10 fields from your table by default.

Improved Expanding a record in the side panel will no longer squeeze gallery cards to be extremely narrow.

Improved We have grouped the mutually exclusive settings in the form’s Submission Actions section into a dropdown to reduce confusion caused by these settings previously hiding each other.

Improved The default label for the “Open Record” button on the grid is now “View”.

Improved Child forms used exclusively for creating now records now default to “Add” for their submit button label. Other child forms now default to “Save”.

Improved The “Open Form” button will now always open the form, regardless of the settings. If creating records is disabled, it will open a record from the table.

Improved We have renamed some settings in the Users Table & Login section in both the Form and Portal to make them easier to understand.

Improved Email and Field Validation will no longer be applied to read-only form fields, since the user would have no way of resolving the issue themselves.

Improved When opening a base that doesn’t have any extensions in it, the quick start popup that is shown now features table pickers for the form and portal so you can create these extensions with the appropriate settings. Skipping this popup will now take you straight to the Create Extension page.

Improved We’ve streamlined the experience for adding external links to a portal or shared view. The configuration for the new link is now opened immediately once it’s been created.

Improved Search on the create extension page has been improved. We now also detect keywords from the text in the extension recommendation screen shown first, to then present the most relevant extensions and automations.

Improved We have added red asterisks to every required setting in our product’s creation screens.

Improved Portals and shared views can no longer be created without any data tables.

Improved Selecting a view type is now required when creating a portal. Selection is limited to the most popular types (Grid, Gallery, List). Other view types can still be configured once the portal has been created.

Improved We have tweaked the selection mechanism for the default login field for forms and portals to more reliably select an “email” field as the default.

Improved Newly added portal and shared view tables will now only feature the first select field as a dropdown filter by default, instead of adding all select fields from the start.

Improved Linked record fields on child forms are now expandable by default for any new child form.

Improved We’ve added some tooltips in field pickers to explain why certain field types cannot be selected in some cases.

Improved We have made some improvements to the popup shown when trying to understand why you’re ineligible for a certain plan. This should help reduce confusion around this topic.

Improved The “Title” setting for fields and tables has been renamed to “Custom Title”.

Improved The “Embedded Redirect Type” setting has been moved to the Share section, alongside the embed code.

Improved Updating a portal’s user profile will now refresh the tables available to the user, so that any tables that might (no longer) need to be hidden from the user can be shown/hidden accordingly.

Improved We’ve slightly tweaked the landscape setting for our PDF generation automations. It is now a setting to choose between portrait and landscape, instead of just a switch to toggle landscape on or off.

Improved When generating tables using the Invoice Form / Order Form template, the products table will now be pre-populated with a few products.

Improved On the free plan, we now show labels identifying Advanced and Starter extensions in more places.

Improved We now show longer extension titles on the configuration page before truncating.

Improved We have added some icons to buttons across our products for improved clarity.

Improved We have made some improvements to the extension usage counter shown in the top right corner of the dashboard to help reduce confusion on certain plans.

Improved The Advanced section is now hidden for portal/shared view tables in most cases. This will now only show when any of the deprecated settings within are in use.

Improved The “Copy Formula” button found in Automations has been made smaller and renamed to “Get Link”.

Improved The “How to use this extension” buttons shown on configuration pages have been renamed to “Demo”.

Improved Icons have been added to subsection headers found on configuration pages to help them stand out more.

Improved When using a top bar menu in a portal/shared view, a hint will now be shown to make it easier to find the option to add a description.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Removed The option to add an internal description to extensions and automations has been deprecated.

Added We have introduced an “Invoice Form” template, which makes it much easier to create a full Airtable and miniExtensions setup for an invoice or purchase order form (or similar). We can even auto-generate all the tables for you so everything is connected correctly out of the box!

Added When adding new views to a portal/shared view table, you are now prompted to select which Airtable views to add. Any views that are selected will be added as a view to the table and their sorting and filtering will be applied. Please note that these new views will still respect the view type set in the table settings, so may not reflect the view type in Airtable when first added.

Added Our PDF generation automations now support landscape mode.

Added We have added a toggle to turn off the field title for a form field. Previously a workaround was needed to achieve this.

Added You can now log into a portal or login form as a random user to test out the Magic Link feature.

Added A banner will now be shown on the dashboard when a workspace subscription is set to be canceled at the end of the billing cycle.

Added We are now checking for correct syntax for common embed URLs (specifically Airtable and YouTube) for external links to prevent confusion when using the incorrect URL for an embedded link.

Improved We have added an additional step to the portal creation process. Users are now asked to confirm if they already have a user table. If the answer is “No”, we provide instructions for how to set this up. This is another step in making it easier to set up a portal. Stay tuned for further improvements!

Improved When reaching the limit for the maximum number of records to be linked in a field, the “Find” and “Create New” buttons will no longer hide completely. This has caused some confusion in the past, so now these buttons will be greyed out instead with a tooltip shown when hovering over them. This should make it much clearer to users why they can’t link or create records.

Improved More field types can now be used when selecting fields for certain settings. Previously, we had restricted types in an overly strict manner. Now, you have more flexibility as to which field to use in automations, or extensions settings.

Improved The “x” icon to unlink records in linked record fields has been replaced with a “-” to prevent confusion with the delete functionality. We have also added a tooltip when hovering over the button to make it clearer what it does.

Improved A redirect delay can now be set when showing a read only version of the record after submission.

Improved We have added some disclaimers to make it clearer that the form table and portal users table cannot be changed once the extensions have been created.

Improved We have renamed the settings in the “Header & Footer” section of the form settings to make them easier to understand.

Improved We have renamed all settings in the popup shown when editing an external link in a portal/shared view to make them easier to understand.

Improved We have renamed the “Group Menus” setting to “Group External Links” and the “Show Tables and Menu Items” setting to “Show Tables and External Links”.

Improved We have tweaked some settings titles in the “Submission Actions” section of the form settings.

Improved Multi-page mode is now disabled by default for child forms.

Improved The “Thousands seperator” settings for number and currency fields now apply to read-only fields as well.

Improved The “Allow users to select”, and “Maximum/Minimum number of records to select” settings have been renamed to “Allow users to link” and “Maximum/Minimum number of records to link”, respectively.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Removed The “Footer Description”, “Truncate Description” and “Lock the form after submission” features are no longer available for Starter Forms or child forms in other Starter Extensions.

Added We have added email support for the Free plan. This now allows users to test the Advanced Form’s submission email features, as well as the “Send Emails for Airtable Records” automation.

Added We heard your feedback and have brought back the delete feature to our extensions! We still don’t recommend using it, but it’s back now for those of you that do want to use it.

Added A brief success message in the chosen extension language is now shown when updating records through a Portal/Shared View’s child form.

Added The current Starter Extension limit is now shown on the dashboard for Free plan users.

Added New Portals and Forms with Login now include a description on the login page by default, explaining how to easily impersonate users. We’re also enabling the option to pick from existing records by default to improve this experience.

Added We have added a confirmation prompt when turning off “Allow users to expand and edit records” for a view to ensure that the user understands the consequences of this change.

Improved The “Header & Profile” section for Portals and Shared Views has been split up into separate “Header”, “Profile”(Portal only) and “Menu” sections to make finding the right setting easier.

Improved When using “submenu” mode for Portal views, tables with only one view no longer display that view as a separate item. Also, all tables are now expanded by default, so all views are visible in the menu for easier access.

Improved Changes made through inline editing now trigger updates to summary fields.

Improved The “Submission Actions” and “Header & Footer” sections have been split up using some headers, to more clearly distinguish the different settings.

Improved We’ve changed how the “keep users logged in after submission” setting is configured. Instead of a toggle that has been somewhat confusing, it is now a choice between two clearly labeled options.

Improved It is now required to set a title when adding an external link or embed (aka menu item).

Improved Forms with Login will now add the table’s primary field as a login field by default.

Improved Proper syntax is now enforced in the “Prefill New Records” setting, since this was often used incorrectly.

Improved The “Share Form” button has been renamed to “Open Form” to avoid confusing it with the “Share” menu.

Improved The “Download URLs to Attachments on Airtable” automation has been renamed to “Convert URLs to Attachments on Airtable”.

Improved The admin bar on extensions is now clearly separated from the actual extension.

Improved The redirect toggle is now turned off by default for Forms with Login, as most users don’t use it.

Improved The “Enable multi-page form for section headers” setting has been renamed to “Multi-page mode for section headers”.

Improved The shortcuts shown in the Form’s “Add field” menu now send a message to Fin, instead of opening an article. This makes it much easier to ask follow-up questions and receive better guidance.

Improved We’ve removed the Ask AI textbox from the create extension page and instead made the search bar more prominent.

Improved We have added some guidance on how to create the “Edit Records” formula in Airtable to help less experienced users set this up.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Removed The following automations have been deprecated. Any instances of these that are currently in use will continue to function: Embed Map (can use a Map View instead), Formula Builder, Firetable, Generate Self Links for Airtable Records, ChatGPT Chatbot using Airtable Data

Removed We’ve removed the filter conditions for the “Auto Delete Records” automation. Filtering should be applied by selecting an Airtable view in the “Run” menu.

Added By popular demand, we’ve added an automation that allows you to update existing records using the Airtable form. This automation had previously been available on our legacy site and was then replaced by our form extension. We still recommend using our form for editing existing records, but if you want to keep using your existing Airtable form, this is now an option.

Added You can now add a description to the portal when using side bar mode for the portal header. This shows underneath the portal tables and can be used to provide instructions to your users, for example.

Improved The Share menu has received a significant overhaul, which should make it much easier to understand and use!

Improved Portals and Shared Views will now show individual views within the side bar. This makes for a much improved look!

Improved We have removed fixed size restrictions from the Bulk Download Attachments automation when processing individual records. Please note that very large downloads may still cause issues.

Improved You can now turn existing Starter Shared Views and Starter Portals into their Advanced counterparts. This makes it much easier to explore the full functionality if you find that the Starter versions don’t quite offer enough for your use case!

Improved Opening portal/shared view child forms in the side panel now respects the “Child Form Width” setting from the Styling & Customization section. We have also increased the default width.

Improved We have added a confirmation prompt when closing a portal/shared view while inline editing changes are still being processed.

Improved Adding or removing a section header is now handled by a toggle in the field’s Section header settings. Previously, removing the section header was not obvious.

Improved When trying to remove a linked record field from a form you will now see a confirmation prompt to prevent accidental deletion of child forms (and their settings).

Improved We have renamed the “Public URLs for Airtable Attachments” automation to “Permanent Public URLs for Airtable Attachments” to better reflect its key feature.

Improved If your subscription is canceled (for example after failed renewal payments), you will now see a message on the dashboard alerting you to that fact.

Improved We moved the form’s submission email settings to the Submission Actions section and have removed the Engagement section as a result.

Improved We have added a little more vertical space between the form title and description to improve readability.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Removed We’ve deprecated the logo feature for child forms. If you are currently using this feature you can continue to do so, but this will no longer be available for new child forms.

Improved You can now turn a Starter Form into an Advanced Form with one click, straight from the configuration page. You will no longer have to start over if you find the Starter Form too limiting.

Improved We’ve removed the limit on the number of advanced extensions available for trial on the free plan. This will allow our users to more easily test complicated workflows.

Improved The table’s primary field will now be hidden from portal/shared view tables when not using the fields from the expanding form. Previously, there was no way to fully hide the primary field in that scenario.

Improved Default settings for the portal user profile have been adjusted. The portal now defaults to showing the logged in user record’s title and setting all fields within the profile form to read only. Only non-computed fields will be added to the profile form by default now. All of these settings can, of course, still be adjusted to your liking. Existing portals remain unaffected.

Improved The button used to save a signature in an attachment field has been changed to “Sign” to avoid confusion with the form’s “Submit” button.

Improved We’ve tweaked the default settings for attachment fields when they’re set to signature. By default, they will now only accept one attachment and the thumbnail fit is set to contain to show the full signature.

Improved We’ve added explainer videos to the create popups for most of our extensions and automations.

Improved New Advanced Forms now default to enabling “multi-page” mode for sections.

Improved We have renamed the “Login Formula” feature to “Magic Link Login”.

Improved The CSV Exporter automation can now be tested on the free plan (limited to 10 records).

Improved We’ve introduced a shortcut to add a signature to a form to make it easier to find this functionality. We also added icons to the “Add” menu.

Improved All help icons on our platform will now prefill our AI chat. This should get you much better replies than our previous help article links!

Improved We’ve slightly tweaked the “Create & Expand Records” section for better visual separation between the settings.

Improved Users can now set a theme color and logo during the extension creation process.

Improved When setting an automation to overwrite existing data, a confirmation will now be shown first to ensure that the user understands the consequences of this setting.

Improved The icon for the portal’s “Summaries” section has been changed to be in line with the rollup fields they are usually based on.

Improved The portal’s commenting feature is now available when using the side panel child form.

Improved We’ve made the “Menu item URL” field required when adding a menu item.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Removed We’re deprecating the “delete records” feature. You will still be able to use this if you currently have it turned on, but we are removing support for everyone else, since we have been strongly discouraging users from enabling this feature to avoid accidental deletions. Instead, we recommend using checkboxes or single selects to mark records to be archived.

Removed We’ve deprecated the “select child extension” feature that previously allowed for switching between different versions of a child form.

Added We have added a popup to the create extension page making it easier to ask our AI which of our products would be most suited to your use case!

Added When opening a base that doesn’t contain any extensions, you will now be presented with a popup offering you to create some of our most popular extensions automatically.

Improved We have combined all sharing related settings into a new Share section in the extension configuration! This is a first step in improving the sharing experience. Stay tuned for further improvements to this section!

Improved When creating Advanced Portals/Shared Views, a view will now be automatically added, and set to use the filtering and sorting from your Airtable table’s first grid view.

Improved We have made it easier to enable disabled extensions. Simply clicking on a disabled extension on the dashboard will now prompt you to enable the extension.

Improved Portal/Shared view tables with only one view no longer allow that view to override the default view settings and views overriding the default settings are now clearly marked as such. Users will also be prompted to confirm that they want to override default view settings for a specific view. These changes should minimize confusion commonly caused by this particular feature.

Improved When the chat widget is opened, the content of our site will now shift to the left to not be obstructed by the widget.

Improved The Stripe integration can now be tested on the free plan, using test mode keys.

Improved Starter Forms no longer show a read-only version of the created record after submission. Instead, you’ll get the option to redirect (same as Airtable form).

Improved We have updated our upgrade screen to make it easier to understand why certain plans may not be available to you.

Improved Labels indicating the the plan availability of locked down features have been improved.

Improved We have added videos to the create modals for the form and portal extensions.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Removed Starter Extensions no longer support prefilling new records via the extension configuration. URL prefills are still supported.

Removed Starter Portals and Shared Views no longer support thumbnails in the list view.

Removed Grandchild forms can no longer be added to Starter Portals/Shared Views.

Added We are introducing the Starter Portal and Starter Shared View on the Free plan! Free plan users can now use these starter extensions (or the already available Starter Form) without a subscription!

Improved The gear icons to edit form field settings from the form itself now only appear when hovering over the field. This provides admins with an experience much closer to what regular end users will see.

Improved When turning on the barcode scanning feature for the linked record finder, the form will now default to opening the camera and linking the record automatically.

Improved Extension/automation configuration pages should now load faster.

Improved View settings within portals and shared views are now split up into sections to make it easier to find the right setting.

Improved The success message shown when a new record is created from within the portal/shared view is now translated to the extension’s language.

Improved Extension/automation configuration pages have been shifted to the left slightly, to allow you to keep the AI chat open as a copilot as you build them out.

Improved The success message shown when a record is submitted is now displayed in the center of the screen (provided you’re not showing a read-only version of the submitted record to the user).

Improved You can now choose to turn a shared view into a portal during the creation process.

Improved For new portal/shared view tables, we are no longer creating a view by default. You’ll now need to go into the table’s configuration to set one up, which will give you the opportunity to configure it as needed.

Improved Disconnected workspaces will now show a Connect to Airtable button on the workspace settings page.

Improved We have moved the workspace “records processed” counter to the top right corner of the dashboard.

Improved We have added a “Get Started” box to free workspaces which will prompt our AI to give new users a tour of our platform.

Improved Our most popular extensions (Form and Portal) are now displayed at the top of the Create page.

Improved We’ve renamed the “Lookup Product Information from Barcodes” automation to “Fetch Data from UPC Codes” to reduce confusion and better reflect its intended use case.

Improved We’ve made some slight tweaks to the layout of the form creation popup.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Added You can now scan barcodes and QR codes in the record finder! This can be super helpful for quickly linking items using a code. The new feature can be set up in the record finder options, and includes toggles to automatically start the camera and submit the linked record when scanned.

Added We have added a “records processed” counter for the entire workspace. This can help you better understand your extension and automation usage.

Added Users will now see a simple confirmation message when submitting a new record through a portal or shared view.

Improved Side bar mode is now the default for any new portals and shared views.

Improved The “records processed” counters on your dashboard now include records processed by automations.

Improved We’ve adjusted the color scheme of the dashboard.

Improved Email fields should now offer autocomplete functionality in your users’ browsers to choose from previously entered emails.

Improved The “Standard Options” section for portal/shared view table settings has been renamed to “Options”, and tweaked slightly.

Improved We’ve added confirmation dialogs for deleting extensions.

Removed We’ve deprecated the “view badges” setting. If you are still using this feature, it will remain available, but it will no longer be visible in new configurations.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Added Custom Domain users can now customize the URL slug (the part after your custom domain which identifies the exact extension) through the options menu of each extension. This way you can now generate more human-friendly URLs for your forms or portals, e.g. https://forms.mydomain.com/signup

Added Custom Domain users can now set a redirect for their custom domain root. Users will be redirected to the configured URL when accessing your custom domain directly, instead of a specific extension, e.g. https://portal.mydomain.com could redirect to your main portal. This can be set up in the workspace settings, under Custom Domain.

Improved The filter and sorting fields available in portal views/shared views are now solely based on the fields visible in that particular view. Before, in some cases, users would see fields available for filtering and sorting that weren’t visible in the view, but this has been resolved by this change.

Improved In the portal/shared view, when a field has a custom title defined in the expanding form, that custom title will be shown in the list of filter or sorting fields, instead of the actual field name from Airtable. This should avoid confusion by end users.

Improved We’ve improved our thousands and decimal separator options for number and currency fields to also give an option to not use a thousands separator at all.

Improved We’ve improved the loading time of the Create Extension page.

Improved Select option colors now mirror the colors in Airtable exactly.

Improved New forms will now redirect to a read-only version of the record by default, serving as a confirmation screen. This can, of course, be disabled.

Improved We’ve improved the mobile experience for portals/shared views when using side panel mode.

Improved Images included in field descriptions can now be virtually unlimited in size. We still recommend keeping the size to a minimum to improve loading times for your users.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Added We have added an Admin Toolbar at the top of extension pages, which is only visible to users that are logged into miniExtensions.

Added We have added shortcuts to advanced form elements to the “Add” button. This should make it easier, especially for new users, to add different elements to their forms.

Added The “Restore unsaved sessions” feature now presents the user with a choice on whether or not they would like to restore their previous session or start over.

Added Gallery views by default will now stretch across the entire width of the screen, and show 5 cards by default. This can be changed on a per view or per table basis. Existing configurations will remain unchanged.

Added Thousands separators are now fully supported in number and currency fields. You can choose from the same options available in Airtable in the Advanced section of the field settings.

Added We’ve added a shortcut to a feedback form to our site. We want to hear more about your experience with miniExtensions (good or bad!), so if you have a few minutes to fill this out, we would really appreciate it!

Improved We have introduced further speed improvements to the form, portal and shared view extensions. On portals and shared views, records will now be pre-fetched as soon as they become visible on the page, which should greatly speed up loading times when opening records. On the form, the record finder is now pre-fetched when a user hovers over the linked record field.

Improved We’ve added support for formula fields as the Unique ID field in the Bulk Upload Attachments automation

Improved A confirmation dialog is now shown before a plan upgrade takes place.

Improved On the free plan, starter extensions now include a “Free” label to better distinguish them from their advanced counterparts, which now feature a “Trial” label.

Improved The “record not found” error message for the Bulk Upload Attachments automation has been improved to make it clearer why matching failed.

Improved Missing bases during reconnection to Airtable no longer prevent the connection from being successful.

Improved We’ve adjusted the next/previous arrows across our platform to be in line with what you’re used to from Airtable.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Added You can now use an Airtable view to determine which fields are visible on a portal/shared view grid, instead of either defining them manually or using the fields from the expanding form.

Added Fields that are not included on the expanding form can now be edited inline! This change will be particularly useful for those of you that use conditional views, as you can now let users edit different sets of fields, while not showing all those fields to everybody.

Added Side panel mode is now supported on all view types (except chart) and will be the default from now on for new portals/shared views! This makes switching between records much faster.

Added You can now use Google Analytics to track extension views when using a custom domain!

Added You can now show text instead of an icon for the portal user profile.

Added Each base now shows the number of records processed by extensions within it.

Added We have added an AI chat shortcut to each extension/automation configuration page. This will make it easier for you to get the help you need with the right context!

Improved We have moved the “how to use” button, and removed the “invite collaborator” button from the extension configuration page.

Improved We’ve improved the recommendations system on the create extension page.

Removed We are deprecating the “allow users to only create one record” feature on the form. It will still be available if you’re currently using it, but you will no longer be able to turn this on.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Added You can now edit field settings from the form itself! Each field now features a gear icon, which is only shown to admins, that acts as a shortcut to that field’s settings. This should greatly improve the editing experience. Let us know what you think!

Added On the “Create” page, our excellent AI chatbot can now be used to figure out which extension or automation is right for you!

Added We added an option to send an email of the form submission to the miniExtensions workspace owner. This can be found in the Engagement section of the form settings.

Added Portal views that do not use record sorting are now highlighted as such in the views list.

Added Date fields can now be selected as a Chart view’s X-axis.

Improved We have made further improvements to our records caching mechanism, to reflect record updates that happen outside of miniExtensions more quickly. This should provide a much better balance of loading times and up-to-date data.

Improved For new configurations, portal views will now default to using the same fields as the expanding form. While this doesn’t change the actual default behavior, the new default setting should make more sense when looking at the configuration page.

Improved Date fields can now be edited more reliably in-line by typing.

Improved For Free plan users, we have split up Starter Extensions and Advanced Extensions, to better distinguish the two.

Improved We have added subtitles to the sections on the “Create” page, to make the distinction between extensions and automations clearer.

Improved We have renamed the Free Form to Starter Form.

Fixed Users are no longer allowed to create more than one free workspace.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Added You can now edit your extensions and child forms from the actual extension itself, by clicking on the “Edit (Child) Extension” button. This will bring up a modal (popup) that allows you to change settings on the fly. This way, you will no longer have to jump back and forth between tabs and dig through multiple levels of child forms to find the configuration you’re looking for! This is a first step in streamlining our editing experience, and we hope that this proves useful to you!

Added The Bulk Upload Automation now supports partial matching, which allows you to upload multiple attachments per record, e.g. Test1.jpg and Test2.jpg would both match to “Test”.

Added You can now use a custom domain on the Advanced plan!

Improved By default, views in Shared Views or Portals will be shown in a dropdown menu in the header now, instead of as individual buttons in the toolbar. This only affects new configurations.

Improved Turning on Save & Continue mode will now automatically enable record editing, since it is required for this feature to work.

Improved We’ve updated the arrow icons used to navigate between linked records to be in line with Airtable’s icons.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Improved We have reorganized the Submission Actions section of the form settings. This should provide a better user experience when configuring these settings by making the section less cluttered.

Improved We’ve renamed the Lite Portal to Starter Portal, to avoid confusion with the Lite plan.

Improved The button for creating a new workspace is now much more prominent.

Improved We’ve slightly improved the settings for Save & Continue mode, to make it more obvious that using a confirmation checkbox is highly recommended.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Added We’ve added a Free Form to the Free plan! This form can be shared with end users without requiring a paid subscription. It offers the same functionality as an Airtable form but with the added ability to view and edit existing records.

Added New options are available to limit the selectable date range in date fields: “today or in the past” and “today or in the future”.

Improved The login requirement toggle has been restored, allowing you to enable or disable login for a form even after it’s been created.

Improved We have removed a limitation of our inline editing feature that would not allow users to select records beyond the first 100 that are loaded. Users can now search for, and select, across all records inline.

Improved Single Select fields can now be used to determine folder names in the Bulk Download Attachments automation, making it easier to organize attachments by category.

Improved Searching for linked records with date-based record titles is now more intuitive. Previously, searches required the raw date format (e.g., entering “04” to find April). Now, you can search using the displayed date format (e.g., simply type “April” to find records from that month).

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Added You can now choose to truncate the content of long descriptions. If the text exceeds a certain length, a “Read more” option will appear, allowing users to expand the content when needed.

Added You can now use formula fields for the email address setting in the form submission email feature. This enables using static and dynamic email addresses for submission notifications, for more flexible workflows.

Improved The Core and Advanced plans now support collaborators! Core users can add one extra collaborator (besides the owner), while Advanced users can add up to two. This makes it easier for teams to create and manage extensions and automations.

Improved This release continues to deliver performance enhancements for both the form and portal. The performance of child forms with linked record fields has also been optimized for faster loading times.

Improved The record picker now adapts to the column size during inline editing, ensuring a smoother editing experience.

Improved We have made multiple small improvements to the graphic interface, banners, and error messages to enhance clarity, consistency, and overall readability.

Improved We are further streamlining the bug report process to improve efficiency.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Added The Rename Attachments with Airtable Field automation can now optionally change file extensions, not just the name.

Improved We have started a bigger project to significantly speed up performance in the form and portal. This release includes a first small portion of this and should speed up the loading of the record finder and portal tables somewhat.

Improved We have renamed the “Record URL Formula” feature to “Open this extension directly to a specific record” to make it clearer what it does.

Improved We have renamed the “Render Attachment Formula” feature to “Display this field as an attachment” to be in line with URL fields.

Improved We have renamed the “Render HTML Formula” feature to “Render this field as HTML code” to make it clearer what it does.

Improved We have renamed the “Enable the ability to lock the form after submission” to “Lock the form after submission” to reduce confusion.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Added New features for the Bulk Download Attachments automation: You can now organize files into separate folders for each record, and also download attachments for individual records using a formula.

Added The portal’s and shared view’s “Create new” button is now a floating button at the bottom of the page by default for any new extensions/tables. Existing extensions and tables will still feature the previous version in the toolbar, which will also remain available as an option for new portals and shared views.

Added Support added for “single select” formatting for formula fields on both the form and portal/shared view.

Added You can now render URLs in formulas as attachments on the form. This way, you can display attachments uploaded to cloud storage as if they were on Airtable. This supports multiple attachments in one field as well!

Added Webhooks after form submission will now include all submitted and calculated fields in the payload body, which can then be used in Airtable automations, for example.

Added We have added a “Recommended for you” category on the create page to make it easier to find relevant extensions and automations.

Improved We have tweaked the “Open Form” button on the configuration page. It is now a “Share Form” button, with clearer options once it’s clicked.

Improved We have sped up the record finder loading time.

Improved When creating a form without login, you can now choose whether the form will be used for creating new records, editing existing records, or both, during the creation process.

Improved We increased the width of the “very wide” form width option.

Improved We have improved the search experience in the record finder. It will now update the search results immediately as you type.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Added Formula, and other computed fields are now updated in real time when using inline editing! This has been a much-requested feature and should be a nice improvement for a lot of you. As soon as the record is updated using inline editing, all computed fields will be updated to reflect any changes.

Added New automation: Convert HTML to PDF on Airtable. With this automation, you can generate PDFs from your Airtable with a lot of customization options! You can use HTML code to style the output and generate a PDF to your exact specifications!

Added New automation: Convert URL to PDF on Airtable. This automation generates a PDF from a URL in your Airtable base. This can be super useful to gather a snapshot of a site for printing or simply for future reference.

Improved Views on Portals and Shared Views can now be shown as a submenu under the table name in the header, instead of each being a separate button. This is similar to how the menu item group works.

Improved Portal/Shared View tables with an invalid configuration (i.e. missing required settings) are now highlighted to alert the user.

Improved When creating a new Portal, we will now preselect a Users Table for you based on some common keywords. Of course you can still select a different table, but this should speed things up a bit.

Improved When creating a new Portal, we will now add all tables that are linked in the Users Table by default. You can remove any unwanted tables during the creation process, or at any time from the configuration page.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.

Added We’re introducing a lite version of our portal on the Core plan! This Lite Portal allows for basic functionality using one table and can be really great if you don’t need all the customization options the full portal offers on the Advanced plan. If you’re on the Core plan, you can check it out right now!

Added You can now link directly to a specific view in your portal or shared view! This is another much-requested feature and can be really useful if you want to provide your users with a direct link to what matters to them most!

Improved We have made some changes to the linked record filtering section of the form settings to make the features available there a little less confusing.

Added You can now set a minimum number of linked records for a field.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always we’ll notify affected users directly.

Added We’re introducing the form view to portals and shared views! With this new view type you can turn your portal/shared view table into a form for creating new records. This can be useful if you have users that need to fill out several different forms. With the form view you can share a single link with them (to the portal or shared view) and they can fill out all the forms they need! If you’re using this in a portal, all form view submissions will be linked to the logged in user automatically as well! As an added benefit, since these are subforms, they don’t count towards your plan’s form limit! :slight_smile:

Improved The bases list on your main dashboard now shows the number of enabled extensions and automations for each base.

Improved We have added a button to the dashboard to schedule a meeting with our support team. We are always available to help, and now it’s easier than ever to schedule a call with us!

Removed We are deprecating custom filters and sort conditions for views in the portal and shared view. If you are using these settings in your existing views you will be able to keep using them, but any new views will only allow using Airtable views to define filter and sort conditions. Airtable views provide a more predictable result and have been our recommended option for a while now. From now on, they will be the only option to define filters and sorts in the portal and shared view.

Improved We moved the Record URL Formula from its own button to the Create & Expand Records section of the table’s settings.

Improved We’ve improved the drag and drop functionality for attachment fields. In the past this was sometimes a little tricky to get right on some browsers but should always work as expected now.

Improved We’ve introduced a popup alerting users of unsaved changes when exiting a child form configuration screen quickly after making a change. In the past this could sometimes cause those changes to not be saved.

Improved We have renamed the “Save form progress” feature to “Restore unsaved sessions” and have adjusted that setting’s subtitle to better reflect what this does as this was causing some confusion among users.

Improved The way the portal search functions has been changed slightly. It will now only perform the search when the user hits enter or the search button, instead of filtering the records dynamically while typing.

Improved We have added Airtable icons in parts of the configuration in which we use values directly from Airtable, for example views or fields.

Fixed Several bug fixes. As always, we will notify affected users directly.
