I was using an AirTable interface form on my mobile phone (Android) today. Typed up a bunch of notes and then hit “Save.” - - - Well, I thought I hit save but it appears AirTable interpreted my finger swipe as a “Back” command. So the form just went back, though, to me it appeared to have saved properly. (obviously these notes were important to me)
Needed to add more information to my important notes and behold…. data loss. It’s gone!
Is there any work by AirTable to prevent data loss while using AirTable Interfaces? I know AI is a hot-new-database-add-on but you know what AI can’t do? MAGIC BACK THE DATA LOSS!
There was no confirmation, no save while working, no method of getting back to the data, it was just gone!
That is a profound violation of user trust, this ain’t Windows Notepad in 1995… oh, wait, even Windows Notepad in 1995 threw a prompt saying, “Would you like to save this?” before erasing everything you had typed up.
Interfaces are a great addition to AirTable but ya gotta get the basics (if you aren’t sure if that’s right, just as your favorite LLM!)
My internet and forum search didn’t reveal any solutions or plans to fix this oversight but I’m not all seeing. Thanks!
