Unless Im missing it, I would like the ability to lock changes to fields in a base and/or records. Would help prevent accidental deletion. I discovered several days later I had done this…

Yes, please add this ability. It is very easy to accidentally edit the wrong cell (especially when a view is set to automatically sort or group). Once it gets accidentally edited it becomes very difficult to find and correct the mistake.

It would be extremely helpful to be able to lock on a per field basis.

I would appreciate an additional permission level so that as administrator I can give people the ability to add and edit data, but to prevent people from deleting a record. That is the biggest risk with our use of Airtable - someone accidentally deleting an entire record.

The ability to lock fields the way I can in Excel would also be a huge security help.

I would like to track starting pay, but not share that with all collaborators. Have a field “starting pay” that can only be turned on with a password or by certain collaborators.

This issue is almost 3 years old and not solved yet.
It seems almost certain that this feature won’t be added in a near future?

Hi there - just a point on this - I think it’s really useful when fields are to be used by API only - would be great to lock these just to keep things secure and make sure systems are robust.

Another vote for this! I want some – especially new! – base collaborators to have some table editing permissions but not total. And to prevent myself even from changing some fields without entering a password or confirming the change.

3 years now we have been asking and nothing? Locking Field option? Disable record delete? Something? :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray:
