We understand the challenges that come with lengthy forms, and that’s why we’ve have the “Save and Continue” feature. Say goodbye to the frustration of losing progress or rushing through extensive forms in one go. With this must-have feature, you’re in control of your time and information. This feature also allows users to save their progress automatically in Airtable so they can pause and resume without worrying about data loss. You can also require user confirmation before the final form submission.

Moreover, this allows you to handle computed fields within your miniExtensions form. For example, show a calculated price total or generate a URL. Let your employees/customers see their input results immediately.
Computed Fields Demo
Here is a form that has a formula field to show the order’s total.
If you click on the sample view below, you’ll see the table that’s used for the demo above.
The secondary line item form has calculation mode on, but the calculation it shows on the form is based on a rollup value from the main record. When the form is submitted, the calculation works well. But when calculated before submission, it behaves as if it was not linked to the main record. Is this the normal expected behavior?
Yes, this is the intended behavior. Created linked records don’t get linked unless the record is actually submitted. If it only got ‘calculated’ then it won’t be linked.
We are planning to use this extension to present real estate listings. We want to add live calculator containing the data from Airtable.
Yes, doing live calculations inside the form would be possible by using this function.
I switched on the Computed field which contains a formula from Airtable. But a new record gets created when it is only computed in the form. Before I see the success message.
That’s the default behavior for this feature. The records need to be added to Airtable in order to get the formula values. Please watch the demo video on our website to learn more about this functionality.
