It would be nice to optionally enable Clean URLs for Airtable pages. Currently, Airtable urls are basically a random string of characters that give no information on what is at the url. So if I shared an Airtable link with someone, instead of seeing something like https://airtable.com/appdfvokijweroiwdroikj/tbldfvolkfgvlmkvblk/viweiociokjwefn and have no information on what they are about to click on, it would be something like https://mycompany.airtable.com/my-awesome-base/my-great-table/grid-view

Views are useful, but sometimes a view needs to have lots of information in it regardless to be useful. Side scrollling with dozens of columns can be unwieldy and difficult to navigate (especially as the user adds new columns in different views, and they automatically place them at the end of other views). Colour coding and/or being able to group columns would seemingly be a simple to implement and very useful functionality. Grouping columns would be nice for tabbing between views and being able to move a bunch of columns at once (or unhide a column and have it snap to it's "group").

Imagine a panel above the tables that toggled a group of tables! This way, you could have big bases organized a lot better. I have some bases which have a different sections that are co-related.. it'd be nice to organize the "Enrollment" section as separate from the "Registration" section and as separate from the "Billing" Section without having to do complex base syncing. I like having everything from one business in one base but the table tabs fill up quick!

What is the proposed idea/solution? I suggest introducing a test/production environment feature in Airtable that applies to the data automations and interface sections of a base. This would allow users to create and test changes within a "test" version of a base, including data modifications and interface updates etc.. without impacting the live production environment. Once the changes have been fully tested and validated, users could publish these changes to the production environment, ensuring that the live base remains stable and unaffected during the testing phase. How does is solve the user problems? Comprehensive Risk Mitigation: It provides a safe environment for users to experiment with data, automations and interface changes, minimizing the risk of disrupting the live base. Increased Confidence in Updates: Users can test new workflows, interface layouts, formulas, scripts, and automations comprehensively in isolation, ensuring everything works correctly before pushing changes live. Streamlined Workflow: This would eliminate the need for cumbersome workarounds, such as duplicating bases for testing, and reduce confusion caused by multiple versions. It would also allow for seamless transitions from testing to production, improving overall efficiency. Who is the target audience? Power Users: Those who use Airtable for complex projects and need to test changes before going live. Teams and Organizations: Groups relying on Airtable for collaboration, requiring safe testing environments to avoid disruptions. Developers and Technical Users: Those building custom scripts or integrations who need a sandbox for experimentation. Project Managers: Responsible for maintaining base integrity, ensuring changes are vetted before deployment. Consultants: Professionals managing Airtable for clients, needing to demo changes safely before applying them to live bases Thank you Team Airtable !

Hi, Not sure if my previous post worked, but one of the comments from the team at work is that the grid views are messy when it's a whole page of 'pill' shapes, particularly when they're all different widths (based on the text length of each option). Is there the ability to: 1. Shade/colour the entire cell instead of just a pill shape? 2. If not, can the width of the pills be based on the width of the column instead of the text length, so they're clear and a consistent width regardless of the dropdown option selected? 3. And, can white be included as a pill colour so we can have drop-down fields that look like plain text? These would significantly help with clarity when reading grid views. Cheers, Andrew

Button Fields could really use an update to allow for dynamic button labeling. A label could be set to not only Single Line Text, but also support other field types such as Single Select, Link Fields, but also Attachments where an Image could be displayed as a clickable button. Here, we see each button opening a unique URL, however the label is static - locked as the text "Open URL" which is an awful user experience. Why not allow for other fields to be referenced within the Label, exactly how the URL formula works? Part of this issue stems from the URL field itself also being too simplistic, and not supporting text for the referenced URL itself (which then itself could be used by a button field, without the need for an independent Label field).

I love the new conditional fields in the AirTable Interface. But I was wondering if it is possible to have collapsable sections (or grouped) in expanded records, beyond conditional viewing. right now I use Buttons as "SHOW" or "HIDE" with the conditional viewing to mimic a collapsing section. But i am hoping that this can be made into a real feature

What is the proposed idea/solution? When creating inline records from the Calendar view, open the sidesheet immediately instead of having to click the arrow expand buttons to actually edit the record. IMO this should be the default interaction if no fields are editable from the interface page. How does is solve the user problems? There's a small hiccup on in-line record creation on the Calendar view if no fields are visible. My users either get confused as to how to edit newly-created records or don't even realize that those arrows to expand records exist. How was this validated? Regular feedback from users of Calendar interface views who express confusion resulting from this interaction. The calendar view is the favorite view from many of my users, but this interaction is a little janky. Who is the target audience? I believe almost anybody who uses the Calendar view in interfaces would prefer this method of inline record creation if there are no editable fields.

What is the proposed idea/solution? When displaying a linked records field as a Gallery, it would be nice if you could right-click the records to unlink them. If 'Link / unlink records' is toggled on, this would make sense. How does is solve the user problems? It's confuses users to have to change views, then right click in order to unlink records. How was this validated? It's always confusing and a bit unintuitive to have to switch views in order to unlink records in the Gallery view Who is the target audience? Probably more geared toward users who aren't as Airtable savvy as us power users.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow a one-click "expand all" or "collapse all" on the Interface's Record Review's Record list sidebar, allowing easier viewing of records without the need to manually collapse/expand them. How does it solve the user problems? Ease and efficiency of use instead of doing it manually. How was this validated? Normal data view can do it, so the interface should be able to do so as well. Who is the target audience? Interface users who use Record Review.
