Feature Request / Suggestion

Suggestion to add a new Field type in air table : Time Stampes logs / notes.
Ie. a type of field that keeps the history of all the notes taken, and each time a new note is written, it saved it with the date and time.

Example :

2020-09-07 - 1:42pm
Just had a call with prospect. Interested to try out the product but concerned about the price. Next step is to book a demo

EDIT - The above would be contained in one cell of a row only. I understand that you can create a timed log separately and link each of these time logs to one contact or one account for instance, but what I am suggesting here is to have the whole list of timestamped comments as one “cell” for a given contact, which would offer an alternative and make its usage more practical to update I feel

This field type already exists, and it is called “Last Modified Time”. Its counterpart is “Created Time”.

Hello ScottWorld,

Thanks for your response but the “last modified time” does not do what I described. It only shows the Last Modified Time and does not keep track of all the comments with a time stamp

You can have a formula reference the multiple interaction fields to show like that, which is what i did when i needed the same thing you are suggesting. Only limitation is dont have line breaks (as far as i am aware) but they may add that soon

We need a 'Conitional Select' type field to add to forms.
This type of single select and multi select question would conditionally disable and 'grey-out' specific options on forms. It doesn't seem currently possible to do this.

There would be many use cases for this. My particular one is that I have a form for view only users to update certain fields in a database for a not for profit or charity music school recording students and musical instruments loaned to them. We need to prevent students resigning but not handing instruments back. The first single select question on the form is "What do you want to do?" which hides/shows various fields on the same form. One of the options is to resign a student. If that student is still holding an instrument, (ie. {instrument ID} is not blank) It should not be selectable, but should still be visible, greyed out so that the user can see they are in the right place and its clear they cannot select that option. An important feature of the proposed conditional select field would be the option to include a warning message when the disabled option is clicked or hovered over, which should allow the inclusion of variables from the source field causing the restriction. ie. in my use case, I would want to say, "{First name} cannot be resigned at this time because records show they are still holding the instrument {Instrument ID}.

Perhaps somebody cleverer than me could create a new extension for this whilst waiting for developers to introduce the new field type in a furure version?
I've been experimenting with workarounds including going to the extreme of including a picture of the greyed out option as an attachment beneath an alternative question missing that option which conditionally shows hiding the original. But it's unsatisfactory and difficult to get right. For one thing there's too much space between the question with the selectable options and the picture of the pseudo option in the next field.
I think this feature would be of great benefit to a lot of Airtable users.
