Hey Community :D 

I know feature requests should be submitted using this link. However, I thought it would be fun and relieving to post my pain here as well.

I love Airtable. Hands down, the best software I ever used. However, there are some things that could be def improved (1st thing is forms, but that we discussed on way too many posts already).

Something I’d really like to have is the ability to apply filters at a group level. i.e. when working on a grid view on my base, and applying groups, I’d love to filter my view by conditions met by the full groups, rather than the individual underlying records. 

Example:
“Show me all groups with size bigger than 1 record”.

Yes, I could come up with crazy workarounds where I link all of the records of a group together, create a lookup, rollup, or count or other type of helper field, maybe have an additional formula filed to bring values of all lookups together if needed, and then apply a filter on such field on a record level (which would show values for the whole group). For obvious reasons this is not ideal.

If you have a similar need, I would love to read your use cases here :D -and make sure to submit the form mentioned above. If you have simpler workarounds, I’d like to get that as well!!
