High Value, Low Cost Feature.
I find myself categorizing each Base in a WorkSpace by Bustiness Process - Finance, HR, Sales, … This is not a one-to-one relationship, so Naming Conventions has its limits. The benefits of a customizable “tag” system or category could help with one of the most challenging parts of Base Organization, Template Identification, and Navigation- all of which are key components of the UI - in how I use Airtable.
Would appreciate any other ideas to build upon this simple concept!
In my mind - The next “phase” could be automated integrations into discoverable services of Types with predefined interface requirements. Predefined QoL, etc.
Eventually as the services abstract to less granular functions, - in the case of finance or HR - these departments could serve broad business needs through a standard “contract” required by the standardized, discoverable, automated interface. The best HR Bases for a common set of requirements wins that market segment of the industry. Doesn’t matter who, what matters to the business model of Airtable is the Number of Customers. Collaboration Encouraged.
Let that ecosystem incubate…
Airtable becomes the leading cloud ERP for SMB.

I’d like to be able to remove specific people from receiving notifications for comments (similar to how I am able to remove someone from an email thread). Sometimes we notify a team member in the beginning of a process but then no longer need that team member to receive updates for future comments. Right now, any team member that was notified at some point in the past receives notifications for all future comments which is not necessary.

I dunno why previous topic with this subject is closed. Issue exists and annoys.
Let me explain. I have Long Line columns with RTF enabled.
If I activate(click) on cell but DON’T go to Edit mode(when there is caret and can select parts of the text) and COPY value(Cmd + C) - I receive text wrapped in quotes("):
If I activate EDIT mode for cell(when the caret is on) and select all text and press Cmd + C - I receive DOUBLED LINE-BREAK strings:
In Both cases, it’s not what I intended to receive and my teammates need either remove doubled line breaks or remove quotes around.
Please investigate and provide solution asap.
Best regards, Maks.

Accidentally pasting more than one row from an excel file overwrites the cells in the rows below the active row, so having an option that restricts pasting to the current row only (regardless of how many rows there are in the clipboard) would prevent this, which I have done several times without realizing it. Perhaps the same with the auto fill option too.

I would love to be able to add an arrow, boxes and other annotation to screenshots in the Web Clipper. That would turn it into a highly useful bug reporting tool for my team. Without this function, we’ll need to stick with existing services. Being able to annotate a an image as in the screenshot would be a huge improvement

Hello! I am creating a schedule where each record is an event. Each record/event includes a column for “invitees” which is a linked record to my contacts tables. Each record/event also includes a multiple select field for “tags” which is how I’m categorizing the events to be able to create specific calendars by department, etc. This issue is, when I often (i.e. multiple times a day) want to add/remove a single invitee or a tag to dozens or hundreds of events. So far, I’ve only been able edit each record individually. It would be great it I could select the applicable records and then add or remove the invitee to all selected records without modifying the other invitees on that record. That’s why the copy/paste feature doesn’t work in this use case. Each record has a unique mixture of tags and invitees. I’ve seen some formula based solutions to this that involve creating new fields, adding the value to the new field, using a formula to combine the fields, copying and pasting from the formula field to the original field, then deleting all the new fields, etc. but given how much I’d need this…it’s way too cumbersome to be efficient

I have a super complicated base that is the backbone of my business. The Base schema block is a life saver as I work to clean up/understand my column and cross table relationships. Similar to base schema it would be AMAZING if there was a way when on a view you could see if there are any blocks that are built using it. There is already a notification that a viewed is shared so its already somewhat of a framework

Though there is already a button feature that I like. But what if…IF you want to use a button to ‘change the field value’. For instance, when I press a button, it puts a checkbox in the checkbox field. Unfortunately, there is no way to do that, except by using just the script block. As blocks are only on the paid plan, I’m only on a free plan and with no access to blocks, I wish there is a way to actually change the value of the field by pushing a button without the use the of the script block. I hope that feature will be implemented in the near future.
