Hey guys!!

Just figured out this is new and super cool (see screenshot below). Thought it would be nice to share as I don’t seem to find it in Airable’s what’s new page.

 


@ScottWorld ​@DisraeliGears01 where you guys aware of this? Was this released some days ago and I didn’t realize?

Thanks for posting about this, ​@Mike_AutomaticN !

Yes, I just found out about this yesterday in the BuiltOnAir Slack community!

This is huuuuge!

We still need the ability to search linked records by more than one field, but besides that longstanding problem, this is gigantic news!

People have been wanting this since the very beginning!

It always cracks me up how Airtable never mentions any of their biggest improvements to the product — the real game-changing features — but they’ll spend 24/7/365 talking about any feature that is AI-related. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂🤣

We need Airtable to give us a REAL changelog.
