This Product Ideas board is currently undergoing updates, but please continue to submit your ideas.
What is the proposed idea/solution?
Let us create custom terms for records in tables in addition to selecting from the predefined list.
How does is solve the user problems?
The list provides a great starting point for record names, but too often terms aren't available. For instance, Phone Number isn't an available term, despite having a record field type of Phone Number, and neither is Number. This translates to the interfaces any time an 'Add Record' button appears to a linked record field, which may cause confusion if an intuitive term is not available. This is a relatively small ask (that I do not understand the technical requirements of at all, so please don't misunderstand me) that would go a long way to improve the user experience, especially to those users less tech-savvy than others.
How was this validated?
Every single time I've searched for a term in the pre-defined list of terms for records, I almost always come up empty.
Who is the target audience?
Moreso end users unfamiliar with Airtable who see a button to add/create/link records.
