thanks for your help. I solved the problem now. What I essentially do is:
- Having cards with names and a short description of the template. By clicking on the cards a modal opens with what the template looks like.
- A basic form with a dropdown that has the exact names of the templates as options and a field for the subject of the note.
- Submitting the form leads to a reload of the page.
- By submitting the form, the name of the template is put in a reference field in airtable. Airtable magically matches the name with the corresponding name in the template table and due to a lookup field (template content), the template content is also in the meeting notes table.
- An automation copies the content of the lookup field (template content) in the notes content.
- Expandable cards display the notes and due to allowing editing people can then update the notes.
This seems to work and I don’t have to delay anything artificially.
