Hi folks, The product is fantastic from a UI perspective. The ability to enter and manipulate data is top-notch. Even the filtering, grouping, and other sorting mechanisms are great… but they have limitations. My issue is that as I’m trying to build out my “product” I’m continually running into walls on either how the outputs are visualized, or how the data can be organized and output. Simple things like the ability to get a unique list out of a linked column to more complex things like being able to do more with a grid. Because all of our needs are unique, and one company or product can’t possibly solve them all, I’d love to see the ability for users to expand the built-in capabilities. Maybe you allow someone to create a new field type (based on a SQL-like query), or maybe you give folks the ability to design new blocks (so I can extend how the grid block works). Either way, it feels like the next way for Airtable to grow is to allow the user base to build (and share) what it needs. As it stands, I’m out looking at other products right now. So close! Cheers, Al

Hi i am looking at daily share price data. I can import a file each day of share prices. I want to build up a history of some shares so each day that I import all share data I want to add a date row to my history table for that share, lookup the price and record date and price. Does that make sense? Thanks.

Short version: Why can’t airtable enforce unique entries for record IDs? This is an important feature and not having it is screwing me up. Long version: Continuing to spend most of my time working around Airtable’s billing policy. I’ve got a table where users will create work chits indicating they’ve worked x volunteer hours doing whatever. I’ve got 20 chit approvers and I really can’t afford to pay for 20 more users who will only doing approvals a few times per year. So, I’ve got a field in the Chit table that concatenates a URL which is then used to generate a link that goes in an email to the approver. When the approver clicks the link, it opens a new form for a new Approved Chit table and prefills the inputs with the values from the corresponding Chit record. I was really hoping to use the autonumber from the chit table to populate the Record ID for the Chit Approval table. My plan was to turn on unique enforcement for the Chit Approval table. But just realized that this feature doesn’t exist. My thinking was that by requiring uniqueness on the Chit Approval table, I would ensure that each chit can only generate one chit approval record. I’m not sure how to work around this one. Any suggestions mightily appreciated. But tired of spending all my energies to work around billing policies and really wishing that there was some policy based on usage rather than number of users.

I’m using the calendar view to program a conference and I love the drag-and-drop and drag-to-expand functionality. This is making a task I used to struggle through SO much easier. However these functions only support 15-minute increments – I can start at 9:00 or 9:15 but not 9:10 or 9:20. And I can make events last for 15 or 30 minutes, but not 20 or 40. I know I can set the time however I want once I click to open the event. I’m looking to be able to do this via drag-and-drop and drag-to-expand. thank you

We run a government program over 9 different offices and use colors in the calendar to show which office a calendar event applies to. We have a number of different types of calendar events and would love to be able to have events identified using tow different colours (e.g. a swash on the side).
