Details: Here are the current values in the multiple select field:

  1. JavaScript
  2. Python
  3. Go
  4. Java
  5. Kotlin
  6. PHP
  7. C#
  8. Swift
  9. R
  10. Ruby

I want to add new values: C, C++, and MATLAB. When I use the Airtable Update Record action in Make.com, I receive an error stating that I don’t have sufficient permission to write the data. Can anyone help me with that?

Hi,

To add new values, you must turn on the “Smart Links” option:

Alternatively, you can use an API call as described here.

When using “Smart Links” turned on, remember that even the slightest misspelling will result in creating a new option. Choose the method that suits your project best.

Have a nice day,

In your “Update” or “Create a record” module turn on “Show advanced settings” and then turn on “Smart links”. Use screenshot attached above- there is nothing more to configure.

Have a nice day!
