Dynamic filter based on collaborator field ("Me" view)

+1

Great idea. We’re trying to consolidate all of our apps into Airtable and this would be a great way to migrate our task list app into Airtable.

+1

This would be really useful

+1
This would help keeping the amount of views lower

+1

This would be great. My team has a shared todo list, and I want a single view that shows “my tasks” for each of us.

+1 this would be very handy to have. In general, it would be great if filters could reference the value of fields, collaborator or otherwise, and not just static strings

I can’t believe this hasn’t even had a response in four years.

I thought this was a typo. But then I double checked. In a couple of days it‘s been four years. Incredible.

+1 Yep. We need this as well.

+100 on this … no response from AirTable? Even SharePoint can do this. Thank you for considering this feature request.

+1 Having the ability to create a view filtered by the ‘current logged in user’ would help team members see what is important to them. Right now we have to create a different view for each person. :expressionless:

Can not believe such a useful feature has not bee implement by airtable since 4 years ago!!!
Any team member watch this? @Emmett_Nicholas @Katherine_Duh

+1 (Hey Airtable, create a sandbox for me to work in and I’ll do this for free!!!)

+1 this would be so useful. Please airtable make this available at least in pro… I cannot believe that this is not implemented yet! This would be such an improvement +1000 @moderators could you notify the team about this

This will be very much useful to lots of case. Please implement it!

This is a feature I leverage in other tools included Coda; I was excited to see this was raised 4 years ago but am quite disappointed this hasn’t been incorporated, or the suggestion even acknowledged. +100 on this feature being very useful

+1 This is critical for a user-friendly task management system.

+1 for this feature. The lack of this feature or a documented work-around is both limiting and frustrating. It would be a great feature addition.

+1 for this feature as well. Really surprised this is not supported by default.

+1 HUGELY NEEDED. Scaling a base across a view that’s curated to the logged in user seems like an obvious value add; simplifying views, setup, personalization, let’s items be assigned to people for workflow, work queue, approvals, and more.

I’m evaluating Airtable as a possible option for a client. This is one of the first requirements and Airtable falls at the first hurdle.

What worries me here is that
a. This pretty standard request was logged over 4 years ago
b. There is no evidence (that I can see here) of Airtable even acknowledging the feature request. I would have at least expected a response and a note to say “expetcted in 2025” or something.

By looking at the responses here, it seems there is no clever workaround aside from going off-platform and using a 3rd party product to consume the data via an API.

I’d really like someone to tell me I’m wrong here and point to the answer/solution.

was planning on adding some views and it came to my BIG attention this was not possible. having relative options such as date options and logged in colaborator is crucial for any multi user ecosystem

I noticed the ability to filter to me (dynamic) was added to monday.com in September 2020.

Hopefully this is on the roadmap for Airtable too.

Hi all! I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to chime in on this thread to share an update Airtable made to Interfaces recently that, although different than the solutions outlined, could potentially help with this.

If you are filtering on a collaborator field in Interfaces, you can use the dynamic “Current User” value:

When applied to elements, the “Current User” value dynamically filters the information for the current collaborator viewing the interface.

You can preview your interface as different collaborators and see your filter update only to show the information linked to the user currently viewing the interface:

I hope this helps and I will share more updates if anything changes!

Thank you for letting us know, @Jordan_Scott1 . Congrats for the Interfaces release. Great work. I hope that this specific feature can be brought to plain old views, as well.

We need this feature in the regular airtable view as well
