Hi! What is your calendar regarding the closure of the classic version? I have a quite big app to build, I wanted to do it on Astra, but now I'm blocked because of: • sync problems with AT • the lack of automatic linking functionality (I have several bases linked together, and my app relies on this) I guess the sync problems will be solved "soon" (in a few weeks/months?), but what about automatic linking? Right now, I would like to estimate different options: • How long will my app last if I use the classic version? • When will the sync problems be solved? • Is automatic linking on the roadmap? If yes, what is the timeline? Thanks ! ☺️
Are there any answers to there questions ? @silly-pharmacist-44942 Thanks ! 😊

Hi Stephanie, Sorry for the delay here! I believe the specific issues with the Astra sync problems you were having have been addressed and are now working for you, if not please let us know so we can continue to investigate! We understand that there have been a few bumps with the Airtable connection and are continuing to work on making this better. We are working on a solution for the Automatic Links feature - we understand this is important for linking different data connectors! As of right now we will continue to maintain the Classic product in maintenance type mode, with limited updates, all new product features are being prioritized in Astra. Let us know if you have further questions!

Hi ! Do you have news about schedule of automatic links feature ? Thanks ! 😄😊

No update on the automatic link feature, we have added the default value to the data grid, including external data - https://docs.stackerhq.com/stacker/data-management/edit-your-data-in-the-data-grid/set-field-default-values-from-the-data-grid

Great, I'll try soon !!
Unfortunately, it doesn't fix my problems, I really need to link 2 bases, not only by users... Is the automatic link feature in the roadmap ?
f
The two bases you are looking to connect, are either of them your connected users table?

Thanks, based on the documentation you sent me I managed to reproduce the example using stacker's Users table (filling default values). However I did not understand how this feature can be used as a replacement to automatic links? Maybe I'm missing something? In my use case, things do not necessarily depend on Users (sometimes its does and it would be already great if I could automaticly link my user table to all the different tables where I have users relation, I could do "contains user" filter...). I'm displaying information based on data present in different bases (that are one-way synced). Could you tell me if the automatic link is on the roadmap ?
s
This is not an exact replacement for the automatic links, but a workaround for the users table use case of the automatic link. We are still working out what the automatic link looks like moving forward and definitely understand this is an important feature!!

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason your tables can’t be in one Airtable base?

I have only the team plan and not the business ... Only one way sinc is possible 😕
