Module 9.2 fixed

Summary

This short tutorial fixes an issue from Module 9.2: after Airtable’s available field options changed, values selected from a form dropdown were no longer appearing correctly in Airtable.

The workflow remains the same: collect a name, email, and profession from the form, then map those values to an Airtable Create Record step. The key change is how the Profession field is configured in Airtable:

1. Create or edit the Profession field.
2. Choose Single select, not Multiple select.
3. Add the same options used in the form dropdown, such as Programmer, Designer, and Automation Expert.
4. In the workflow’s Airtable step, map the form’s Profession value dynamically using Expressions, rather than entering a fixed value.

The instructor demonstrates that submitting different dropdown choices, such as “Designer” or “Automation Expert,” writes the selected value to the corresponding Airtable record.

Key Takeaway

Use a Single select Airtable field with options that match the form when the form allows only one dropdown choice.

Guide Covered

Configuring an Airtable single-select field and dynamically mapping a form dropdown value into it.
