Change colors on linked records

[Vincent_Tang]

I can’t seem to figure this out. Normally on “multiple select” or “Single select” options, changing colors is fairly easy

however with linked tables, the colors are always blue. Cannot find any options to change it

I found this support thread here, but it wasn’t answered either

Show Link to record/table list as colored? Ask the community

When using Link to another record/Link to table option, is it possible to show the list as colored similar to how the options look in the Multiple select option?

is this a supported feature?

My use case would be for content calendars. For each of my clients, there’s a set list of content topics we pull from across different tables. Right now these all exist as separate Single Select fields, but sometimes we make changes and add a new topic. Doing this in one table doesn’t obviously update any of the same Topic (Single Select) fields in any of the others, because they’re not linked - and we’re not using linked because we NEED the color coding. It’s essential to how we use the base and an important part of why we use Airtable instead of a really advanced Google Sheet. Color coding = we see at a glance when a particular topic is underrepresented by what we’ve created.

Hi Matt, anything new on this front? Cheers

For me, it would be useful to add some colour-coding, especially as we use multiple linked fields and the table ends up looking rather dull!

+1 from me as well, this would be an extremely useful feature for project management when there is a lot of data to digest.

Hi Matt and @Airtable , it would be great if an update can be given, since the last update was on May 2017, which is almost 4 years now.

This would be an incredibly valuable feature for me.

Our custom software firm has started using Airtable for most external clients as well as internal projects. We would greatly appreciate a feature like this to help our context switching.

Just to add my voice to the crowd here :slightly_smiling_face:
Any update on this feature ?

I’ve done this myself by using a chrome extension to selectively change background/text color style attributes. (desktop only)
