    I'm having issues mapping fields in Jotform to Airtable. The appropriate fields are greyed out, how do I fix this issue?

    Hello Dee,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. We’re sorry if you’re having trouble with Airtable integrations. I’ll do my best to help you out.

    I cloned your form and integrate it with Airtable but I was able to map the fields and they are available to map. Check out the screencast below:

    You can also visit this guide about Airtable Integration. I cleared the cache of your form on our backend system for additional precautions and this fixed glitches as well. You can also perform a clear cache to your forms on your end by following the guide from this link

    Give it a try and let us know if you have other questions

    You can map a some fields, but never every field. There are fields that are greyed out that cannot be mapped. Please help me address this issue.

Also, have you tried using a different browser or device? It would be better if you can send us a screenshot of the fields that are grayed out so we can look into it.

    I am using two different browsers and I'm still getting this issue. This is not a browser issue. As you can see with the screenshot below there are fields that show up and others that are greyed out. Please resolve this issue, thank you.

    Hello RedEx_NYC,

    The reason why these fields are disabled is that the field you're mapping them width has a different type. What I mean by that is if the field (Jotform widget) is a Number widget, you have to map it with a Number column in Airtable.

    In the screencast below, you can see that I am able to map the Bags / <strong>Cuantas Bolsas</strong> {bags} with my Airtable column which has a type of Number.

    The screencast below will walk you through on how to change a column's type in Airtable.
