🆕 Member field - Now in the new record experience and forms

📢 Info & Announcements
1



The member field lets you reference people from your Tape organization directly in your records.

Use it to assign a support ticket to a teammate, show who owns a customer account, add reviewers to an approval flow, or keep track of everyone involved in a project.

We’re happy to release the new member field today across the new record experience , Tape Forms, and the mobile app when you create and edit records.

2.) Open any record in a database app
3.) Unlock the record via the ••• menu in the top right

A quick look at what you can still do with a member field.

  • Notification on add
    When someone is added to a member field, they get a notification by default.
  • Limit
    Set how many members can be added to a field. Choose between No limit or 1 member.
  • Display options
    Choose how the field is shown in a record.
    • Always show
    • Hidden when empty
    • Always hide
  • Required field
    Users need to fill out this field before they can save the record.
  • Help text is still available. It’s now called Tooltip.
  • Show in focus appears when the app includes a status field.

:sparkles: What’s new

  • Add groups to member fields
    Member fields can now include groups. When a group is selected, its members are added to the field as individual users, making it faster to add multiple people at once.
  • Dropdown style
    Choose how members appear in the dropdown: Default or Avatar only.
  • Member visibility
    Control how much space the field uses in a record. Choose between All, Compact, or limit the display to 1, 2, or 3 rows.
  • Size
    Switch between Default and Small.
  • Notify when added
    Choose whether added members should receive a notification. Default: on.
  • Follow when added
    Choose whether added members should automatically follow the record’s activity. Default: on.
  • Default value
    Pre-fill the field for new records. Choose specific members, groups, Created by, Workspace members, or Workspace admins as the default value.This also supports the long-requested setup where the field defaults to the person creating the record.
  • Field access (Premium plan feature)
    Restrict who can view or edit the Member field.
  • Display options
    Use the new View only option when the Member field value should be visible but not editable.
  • Style settings
    Adjust the label display and size, placeholder, tooltip, field icon, and more. The full style system is available for the Member field.
  • Top and bottom description
    Add helper text above or below the field, such as instructions, context, or hints for people filling out a form.
  • Rules (Premium plan feature)
    Show or hide Member fields based on other field values.
  • Rearranging Member fields
    Use the ⋮⋮ handle next to the field label to drag and drop Member fields. Reorder them, move them around the record, or place them into different columns.

:rocket: Keep building together

We hope these new features help you build even more in Tape.
If you want to get a head start, just duplicate the :point_right: template workspace.

Happy building.
