Airtable is a powerful platform for organizing and managing data, but sometimes it's necessary to restrict editing for certain users or categories of users. The ability to block editing at the record-level or cell-level would greatly enhance the security and integrity of data stored in Airtable. This feature would allow administrators to specify which users or user groups can edit or view a record or specific cells within a record, based on the value of a specified cell. For example, if a record represents an invoice or bill that has been paid, the administrator could prevent any further editing by users who are not authorized to modify paid invoices. This would ensure that the data remains accurate and protected from accidental or intentional changes. Use Case: An organization uses Airtable to manage its financial accounts. Once an invoice is marked as "paid," the administrator wants to prevent anyone other than the accounting department from editing the record. The administrator sets up a rule in Airtable so that when the "Status" cell of an invoice is set to "Paid," only members of the accounting department can edit the record. This protects the integrity of the financial data and ensures that only authorized users can make changes. ... View more

Want to be able to quickly show and hide FILTERED fields in bulk rather than one-by-one. I follow specific discipline when naming my fields. It allows me to quickly filter fields by criteria. However, currently it is not possible to show or hide all filtered (searched) fields. It is possbible to show or hide fields in the database, but when the search filter is applied, the Show / Hide buttons dissapear. I suggest to keep the buttons there and allow me to quickly mark “all filtered fields” in the search filter and then allow me to press buttons Show or Hide to show or hide them quickly in bulk. It will mean saving a lot of time. Imagine when you have 200 fields and you need to show 20 of them so now you have to keep clicking and scrolling 20 times. Here is picture of what I mean: ...

I would love to be able to better navigate around my airtables. Simply adding these shortcuts would help greatly, the same as Excel does: Ctl-right, left, up and down would ideally move the cursor to the next record in the respective direction. At the moment these commands just move you to the edges of the table instead of the next record. If people disagree, I’d love to hear from you and how you navigate between records? Thanks! ...

Would save time for us if we could have a count of records in a given view. Use case is we have a “Invalid” view which filters down to rows that have marked as invalid by a tool. would save user time if our users could see if there are records in that view without having to click into it. ...

I think a feature like collapsable fields would be helpful. It is done be indenting a field and it goes under a larger task. That way they can be hidden and sort of stacked. ... View more

Hello, While I love the recent features for managing views, having the “favorite” view selector under the view icon is frustrating. It is just my habit of hand-eye coordination and muscle memory, but when I move my cursor to select a view, I usually move it to the view icon. The subsequent update to the view list with the addition to the “My favorites” sub-folder in the “My views” section is jarring and the process always leaves me feeling like I have been duped into marking the view as a favorite. Would be great if the favorites selector/indicator were either to the left of the view’s icon, or in the optional menu. Thanks for the consideration. ... View more

Hi ! Struggling and losing time using the bar to slide left and right to see fields for 40+ columns records. Would it be possible to activate side scrolling like it’s doable on apps like GSheets ? Thnaks 🙂 ... View more

In the options for different interface types, the only way to get a table is through starting with a blank interface and adding a table element in. This often causes scrolling issues between the whole page and within the table, and overall is is a very clunky way to get a table interface. Can a new interface be made that is just a table, similar to the list interface, but with the functionality of a table. It would be the same as the table view under the data tab, but having it as an interface gives a lot more control over access to it and sharing between other people.    If this could be added it would also solve Allow what users can see/access individual Views in the same table as @TheTimeSavingCo commented on this. ...
