Softr + Airtable - create multiple records in same table with single form submission

I’m facing an interesting requirement and couldn’t find solution yet.

Softer allows us to seamlessly create new record in Airtable upon submission of the form.

I’m searching for a way to allow users add multiple records with similar data to same table.

Let’s say I’m creating finance management app. Users are able to create new financial operation by entering operation date, name, amount and photo. I’d like to give ability to create financial operations in bulks, for example: user select date once and then 3 additional fields are visible (name, amount and photo). Until now it’s easy doable with softr. But then next to “save” button id like to have button “add another operation” which is adding another set of 3 fields just below existing fields (name, amount and photo). So user can add multiple operations from the same screen and then submit form once and create multiple rows on Airtable.

Any idea how to attack that problem ?

Hey @webcitron, there’s not currently a way to do this unless you want to use a more specialized form builder like Fillout to allow for adding multiple entries to Airtable at once.

That said, you could always place a top bar action button on almost any list or dynamic block and let them easily add items that way. I’ll pass along to the product team that this is something you’re looking to do!

Thanks for looking into that @pford
Although I’m new in softr I’m experienced code developer so I can also consider usage of custom code. But wondering if something like that is possible with custom code ? :thinking:
