I just created a glideapp using airtable as the datasource.

I have one BIG problem. I can’t find an option to enable users to ADD a record.

Is this disabled for Airtable right now? Is this a glide thing or an airtable thing?

Thanks,  
Matt

You should be able to add records. If you screen is a list style view, then enable adding. If you have a details style view, then you can add a form button. There’s other various was, such as creating custom forms or simply using an Add Row action.

Thank you. It’s there now. Not sure if it was there yesterday though.
