Oooh. This is nice. I must have missed the original announcement. I’m going to be using this a lot.

I think @Kamille_Parks noticed that the icon choices for checkbox fields and rating fields no longer are the same. Checkbox fields now have more icon choices than rating fields.

Can you remind me how to do this?

Is there a way to control the list of collaborators? For example, how does one remove a collaborator from the list? Since collaborator/user fields can now include users who do not have access to the base, it is harder to control the options that appear in the dropdown.

The Checkbox field has always had more options than the Rating field if I recall correctly. Before, Checkbox had all the same options as Rating (star, heart, thumbs up, flag, and dot) plus a “ ”. Now Checkbox has all those plus “ ”, so Checkbox has 2 more icon choices than Rating.

I would prefer if all the icon/color options were same. (Also if Interfaces respected the color choices, which they currently don’t)

Thanks for this. These look great. I’m pleased and excited to see these improvements keep coming. Great work, y’all.

Now, I want to give the devs special props for something. I actually started this reply to say thanks (of course) but also to complain that the Add More button may be a problem for my end-users and to ask if it could be removed for them. Then I thought perhaps I ought to test this before I make a fool of myself, so I logged into my other Airtable account where I have only editor privs, and lo and behold, the Add More button is hidden there. That’s brilliant and exactly right.

I apologize for ever doubting you. :winking_face:

Oh wow, this is cool!

You can now directly Ctrl-V (windows) / Cmd-V (mac) into an attachment cell! Just have the cell selected and hit paste :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: .

It should also work if you’re trying to paste multiple attachments to a single cell!

Not really following on this one…

Thanks @Don_McGray, you have been busy for the past 2 years :winking_face:

Is it me or this is also quite new for Automations token field selection/options “Grid of Records”:

Oh right, I forgot to mention this too. Right-clicking on an automation action doesn’t do anything for me.

Hi @ScottWorld, @Databaser: This one might be subtle enough that it’s easy to miss. Previously, if you right-clicked on an automation action, you’d see the browser menu (and not an Airtable menu). Now, if you right click on an automation action, you’ll be able to move the action, duplicate, or delete it.

If you’re not seeing this, please let me know and I’ll follow up with our team!

Ah, I see! Yes, that’s the behavior I get! Thanks! :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

THIS is an excellent addition. I have three places where this dramatically simplifies an automation.

Thanks for sharing this update.

Regarding this addition;

Could we please see a “Find a field” within the Form View creation? It becomes exceedingly annoying to create a Form View for a table when there’s no easy method to search for the field (out of hundreds of possible fields) that needs configuring within the form.

Further to this, regarding the upload of Attachments - it would be great to see the feature (that’s almost hidden) found within the Gallery view, that allows the user to create multiple records upon bulk file upload when dragged onto the “Add record” circular widget. Perhaps there’s a reason this widget isn’t found within a Grid View, but I think it’s overly useful for those needing to know about it.

Also, importantly, when searching for a field via a Field ID, when the user searches for a Field ID, Airtable isn’t returning the field associated with the Field ID.

Here we can see that searching for fldMiCSXgCU2fBGX0 doesn’t return anything. Those of us writing scripts would greatly appreciate the ability to quickly lookup a failed field ID.

And now I think about it, a Base-centric field search would be super cool, one list to see and search them all - kinda like the new View search feature where it will show Views from other tables that match the search.

Thanks again for the continued updates, keen to see some Page Designer love (please! pllleeeease!)

Wow, I totally forgot about this Don’t upload enough files in 1 go I guess.

I was so excited when I discovered this feature. It allows for, for example, the bulk upload of log files, where each log file will land in its own record, where it could then trigger an automation that will parse/process that log file into associated fields (say, if a more complex regex is needed to be executed via a script than what the Regex Calculation field has to offer).

Gallery is not just useful for images, but bulk uploading log files too :grinning_face_with_sweat: … which is why it makes sense to have this feature not just hidden away within a Gallery View.

Wow. This feature really shouldn’t be hidden. I never knew about this.

What’s this all about I don’t see it

The feature is documented the support article about Gallery View. I guess they could add some tooltip/popup or something saying “you can bulk upload” but I don’t any more of those cluttering the screen, personally.

You must have an attachments field in your table, in Gallery view select customize cards to choose your image field. Then you can drag a group of files from desktop to the + button.

Hi appreciate the how to, but I was referring to the linked record filtering addition as mentioned in earlier post. Any idea what that is all about?

Nvm, I see it… edit: nvm I still don’t see it, is this a scripting thing?

How bout we do something similar but for the config of the linked record field. EG limiting record selection to a filter rather than a view. Or here’s a novel idea, why not have both options.

That will put us one step closer to dynamic linked record filtering/cascading drop downs.

Woof just typing in the above sentence made me sigh. If only

I just discovered that control-clicking a base in the workspace opens the base in a new window as well. This is a huge timesaver for me! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

That’s not what I meant. What I meant is that I’d like to see this feature rolled out to all of Airtable, not just limited to gallery view (and not just limited to those people who read the support page).

For example, if you drag-and-drop multiple attachments onto an attachment field in grid view, I’d like the same pop-up window to appear.

In other words, I would like this feature to be entirely discoverable by all users across the entire platform.

So just more universal? It would be just as hidden a feature without some visual indicator, especially since the view that focuses on attachments has had it for years and people still didn’t know it was there.

Users wouldn’t suddenly know this was possible if its also possible in Grid View. You still have to guess (correctly) that you can bulk create records through uploading attachments by trying to do it in the first place

This is a good point. If Airtable would give you & me a day to figure this out, I’m sure that we could figure out something incredibly awesome for everybody! I’ll need them to pay for our lunches & our coffees.

I am also wondering about this feature regarding filtering of linked records.

Any additional information that can be offered would be much appreciated.
