Dropdown with list of auto-sync options from Airtable

Hi all; I used autosync options from dropdown menu synchronized with an Airtable database; but it remains a problem.
I used link field type, linked to a grid with limited selection (see attachments: the selection filters on the STATUS field). But the drop-down menu on SOFTR shows me ALL the values, ignoring the limitation set on the Airtable field :frowning_face:

Yeah I’ve run into this problem as well. We have a lot of relationships in our database. Airtable gives us great options to filter linked record look ups by certain parameters but then these filter parameters don’t translate to Softr’s presentation of available record options in the linked dropdown menu. Cleaning up this function would definitely allow for some better data hygiene on the backend for us as we’ve needed to utilize more tables to circumvent this limitation.

Applying the field level filters to the Softr sync would be an excellent improvement.

Hi @Lucap6, indeed the platform doesn’t limit the linked records based on the view, though the team is considering to improve this feature. Let me share this message to the feature requests to indicate its importance.
Hope it will be implemented soon.

Thanks @Viktoria :blue_heart:, I do not consider this a new feature; I would expect the same behavior as Airtable, equal to the same view I have on Airtable. Without these filters risk to view records that the user must NOT see and must NOT use (because expired, because not of competence, because owned by other users, etc.) :frowning_face:

I see what you mean and share your opinion, but unfortunately at the moment the linked list views aren’t supported yet.
Hope the team will find a solution and implementation will be available soon.
