There are many many frustrations since we’ve upgraded our Airtable, there are seemingly low level tasks that Airtable and Omni is unable to do, yet it boasts being able to build an entire base. Extremely annoying. I just wanted to list a few here.
- Why can we restrict record selection on an interface for clients on a linked file but not on a single or multiple selection?
- Why can’t we put a prompt into Omni to hide or show columns? This is very helpful if we need to add a same view to other like bases but it’s not able to hide or show columns?
- Why can’t we copy an interface and then change where the linked data is coming from? This is a HUGE problem that was misrepresented by Airtable. We thought we could make a linked base, and link the views so that all our clients could use this linked base. Only to find out I’d have to manually set up each interface one by one, over and over again because Omni does not work, and the option to change where the data is pulled form is greyed out
- PORTAL users used to be able to @ tag other users, and Airtable took this away. This is not coming back and this means basically airtable forces all portal clients to now be collaborators at of course a premium cost. Just noting this here as an annoyance so other users know because it took months of me working with their tech support for them to admit this was a change that happened sometime in the last few months.
