Our beloved platform seems to ignore thousand of users and so we are still struggling with numbers and the use of comma instead of dot for decimals. To do that, we have to literally TRIPLE the number fields. Even though many have asked for it, we still miss printing an interface. Of course they also ignore many users that need a multi page designer !!! These 3 requests are not new! The first one dates back the first years of this platform. They don't even have an answer for that ! They just ignore us I'd appreciate if I could: Have a Global Field for each table Had more possibilities to edit the text in an Interface (for example: align text) Guys if none of these are scheduled to be fixed then I kindly ask the co-users suggestions for other platforms - data bases.

What is the proposed idea/solution? The best yet most annoying feature - is being able to create record straight from a linked column Despite being a feature that sometimes are valuable this feature has created more trouble than anything else. To save tab space we often bunch different items under the same tab. We often use a combination of a locked filter that forces a category into a single select column and thereby split out what should be selectable in different linked columns around the base. This works really well until someone one day realises that they can just add new entries directly from a linked column, but not understanding that they need to issue the right category to the new entry on order to make everything calculate right. This is especially difficult to explain to new people that join our organisation and who has no prior understanding of Airtable and does not understand the underlying structure of how our bases are build. What would be really awesome is the ability to switch off this feature as sometimes it's obviously also a great quick way to add records, but our experience as soon as bases become a little more complicated this feature makes so much trouble. ... How does is solve the user problems? It will enable our users not to make unintended duplicates and records that does not show up in the right linked columns ... How was this validated? Through 22 users and three years of experience ... Who is the target audience? New people you get onboards onto workspaces ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Seperate the revision history from the comments section How does is solve the user problems? For me personally, I find it challenging to track the comments amid the revision history. We are a team that often make many changes to an item, and the scrolling required to get to an original comment is oddly time-consuming. The revision history is amazing, but since they are combined, it makes it more challenging. How was this validated? My own experiences. Who is the target audience? Everyone
