Why do shared records only work in groups?

Shared datasets can so far only be created from views of group bases. This is due to a technical limitation that may be removed in one of the future versions of SeaTable.

Note by info text

This circumstance is also referred to by a short info text that appears as soon as you want to publish a common record from a table view of a base that does not belong to a group.

Note if you want to publish a shared record from a view from a base from the "My Bases" area.

Bypass limitation

To be able to create a common record from a table view of a base that does not belong to a group, there is a simple way around the technical limitation described above:

  1. Copy the corresponding base to any group.
  2. Create a common record from the desired view.
