Hi,
I’m trying to build one select feature that also incorporates the possibility of creating a new item without going to a new table of the software. Similar of what WeWeb has for the folders, that you can create it on the spot
But in my case I want to send the information also to Xano’s database
Do you know if this is possible? has anyone built something similar?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Hi Gaby
One way to do it is to use an advanced multiselect and toggle the advanced options> Allow to create
We’ve had some community members trying to do the same:
Hi -
I am using Airtable as my backend, and as part of my weweb application I am building a “create record” form to allow users to create new records. In my airtable, these records have linked fields to other tables which represent options the user should be able to select.
Example: User is creating an “Equipment” record, which has a link to a table of “Makes”.
I want the user to be able to select from an existing make in that table, or create a new one while they are creating the equipment r…
I have a signup page where I allow new users to create their profile, including selecting the site that they belong to. If the site exists, they select that site. If it does not exist, they can type it in and the site is created. I’m using a multi-select dropdown for this, but setting the max selection to “1”.
What is happening is that I can populate the dropdown from my collection of sites and I can create a new site, if one does not exist, but if I select an existing site, then it duplicates …
Hope this helps.

Hi Agustin,
Thank you so much for your answer, it worked.
If anyone is also interested in what’s the next step. I’ve added a workflow to send the new label to Xano and to “refresh” the multiselect, so the new label is visible in WeWeb as well.
