What is the proposed idea/solution? Other elements, such as Calendar, Timeline, Gallery and Kanban to act as Record Pickers, allowing for records to be clicked within the element, and their subsequent fields to be looked-up and displayed within the interface. Think of the way a Record Picker element behaves, and now apply that behaviour to the other Elements. When you think about a Calendar, it's showing records just like the record picker is showing records, just in a different visual format. Further to these mentioned elements, this same Record Pick behaviour should also be added to Linked Fields and Lookup Fields. How does is solve the user problems? The Record Picker is a very powerful element - but I feel it shouldn't have a monopoly over its specific functionality, and that the other elements such as Calendar etc would all benefit vastly from having this same ability. Who is the target audience? Anyone building and using Interfaces, where multiple tables are in play, typically at 3 levels deep - for example, Project -> (Task Dictionary) -> Task.

Feature suggestion: the ability to hide/archive a table within a base. I’m not talking about records, nor am I talking about creating a link to a view to share with others. I actually want to hide a table that I’m not currently using but that I also don’t want to delete. (For example: I have three content calendars, and I ended up not using one. I don’t want to delete it because I hope to use it in the future, but I also don’t need it cluttering my view every day.) Thanks!

What is the proposed idea/solution? A feature that lets you group fields by context. As simple as that. Above is an extreme mvp, but i guess it should be something in that path. How does is solve the user problems? It would help creators manage fields when a table gets huge (in columns). It would be easier for anyone to better understand the table schema. How was this validated? I am using Airtable in my team with a lot of people getting to know the base and sometimes it is overwhelming for them to process every column in their minds. It is not visual and I had to do it outside to show them. I know it could be viewed as many 1:1 relations, so one could say "the user should create new tables". OK, but then there are some problems If the user needs to access those info in the table (for filters, calculations or interface designing, lets say) it would have to lookup these fields - the problem would still exist. Who is the target audience? I think every member on a team with creators that are heavy users.

I really need for Kanban to work with a multiselect field the way Timeline works. The ability to group/lane by each option in the multiselect field. Then if there is more than one selection then the card appears in each lane of the selections. I would think that in the split scenario, if a card is selected with options A and B ... then if you grab a card to move it from option A to Option C, it would result in Option B and option C now. If you needed to add a 3rd selection, then you would go into expanded view to edit the selections. We are using this as a todo/workload board. Anything under a team/persons name indicates it's in progress, and we can see what they are working on and when each are due. In some cases we have a task that needs more than one person working on it, but do not want to create new projects for these scenarios.

Airtable finally added this calendar month as a date filter option which is great, however there needs to be a last calendar month instead of just last month. We need to submit every month our expenses from the previous month. So for example today, I need to be able to see all expenses from January (i.e. last calendar month). How it is now if I do last month, it will show me expenses from Jan 14 - Feb 14 which is not useful.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Price per user rather than per Workspace - Or allow better organization, folders, etc within a Workspace. We pay more per user on a Pro plan than we do for our CRM. Yet if we want to collaborate with external parties we need to move the base to a free workspace due to the sharing limitations. We are a small company and purchased pro for everyone - yet it is becoming a mess. We cannot even segment visibility of bases within the workspace from some users, since everyone needs to be a pro for that workspace. Enterprise is outlandishly expensive for small organizations. We are willing to pay for the service, but the limits even on a pro plan are limiting our use and commitment to the product. How does is solve the user problems? ... How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? ...

I know this has been posted many times before, but we need a real solution to allow for grouping by multi-select fields in a way that makes all records associated with at least that value shown in the value grouping. Yes, this might result in one record appearing multiple times in a grid view. Yes, that is desirable. Notion users know that this is much more intuitive and user-friendly than the way Airtable handles this behavior. --- Here's a real example for us: We do project planning in Airtable across quarters. Projects may span multiple quarters (multi-select field). There is no way to view all projects grouped by quarter where all Q1 projects are collected in a single group! As a designer, it boggles my mind that it behaves this way...

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!

When grouping records, we should be able to sort the groups by those little “summary fields” instead of ONLY being able to sort by the grouped field itself.
In other words, we could group our records by PROJECT NAME, but then sort the groups based on whichever group has the “newest date” or whichever group has the “highest total dollar amount” or whichever group has the “largest number of projects” or whatever.
We can already choose all of these options by clicking on those little “summary fields” which appear in the group headers — but we’re not able to sort on those “summary fields”. So we’re allowed to display these “summary” options onscreen, but we’re not allowed to sort by them.

It would be great to be able to perform functions like duplicate, hide, delete, etc. for more than one column at once. You can select multiple but as soon as you right click, it deselects.
