This function was key! For how I use my base and linked records, it always showed my last linked task at the top, basically giving me a running history, with the most recent (and most relevant) available at the top of the list, which also meant that the most recent “task” link is visible to me in the basic grid view for quick reference, without having to click on anything. Now if I don’t manually remember to change it, I see an older, no longer relevant task for that record. Just give us back the choice, please. This was brilliant on my older base, and now kind of just sucks. Airtable’s beauty is in how slick and quick it works, and this just brought it down a bit. One more thing I have to remember to manually change now. One of those things you didn’t realize you counted on until it was gone! Need to see the LAST occurrence first. Thanks, Sid ... View more

It would be nice if Airtable added a “click to call” formatting for phone numbers. That way if you use Skype/Teams or another service you can simply click the phone number you want to call. The mobile app allows it, so not sure why we can’t have on web app. ... View more

I am working on a database for a company that wants to track their projects. We have a status field and would like to have the status set to a default when a new record is created via a form I made. In the real world, they get a call from a new client and would like to input their relevant data into the database with a simplified form. This is critical as the client is on the phone with them while they are in the database and looking at a sea of fields is not realistic, hence the form. We started this database to help reduce the workload, double entry, keeping tabs on projects, etc. So far we have found ways to fill these needs. Another way that would help is a default value in a Select or Multiple Select Field. This way I can hide the status field on the form and it is one less thing the call handler has to fill out while talking to the client. Come to think of it, more then a couple of single select fields in our base could benefit from a default value… ... View more

It would be great if we could upload our own emojis to use in the checkbox field styles instead of the default options. That is all, have a great day! ... View more

I’m consulting for a company in the capacity of process planning and process documentation. Flowcharts is one of the first tools I am using. I decided to try out Airtable in hope for future flexibility instead of using the usual Visio, lucid, StarUML, etc. I immediately ran into the problem of not being able to select different shapes for different records (Diamond=decision, rectangle=process, etc). General lack of flexibility for the view because it is either all vertical or all horizontal. ABC flowcharting is connecting processes using their predecessors not their successors. (it is more important to know that A needs to be done before B in order to begin B, rather than what comes after A. Well everything comes after A). I’m working around this right now, but would be nice to see the change. 4)100 record limit. I ordered the above in terms of importance for my case. Thank you 🙂 P.S. I reported a bug the other day when exporting the flowchart to SVG or PNG, when I use the ‘<’ sign in one of the attributes. ... View more

I’m having a conversation with my boss about uploading photos to our department’s airtable. I find being able to track a story via a visual extremely helpful, but he doesn’t want to add an additional storage place when we already keep high res versions in Zenfolio. I wish there was a way to set a url field as an “image” field in the way that the attachment field automatically shows images. That way I could link to the original files while maintaining the usefulness of having an image associated with an Airtable item. ... View more

Different fields should be shown on a card based on which column of a Kanban view they are on. How is this not a thing?! ... View more

The option to display more than just the primary field in calendar view would be really, really helpful! This is possible on timeline view, so why not here? Currently my primary field looks messy in other views because it has to include additional information that I need to see on the calendar. I have seen others request this feature in the past but no changes have been made. ... View more

While you’re web clipping content to make a new record, I wish that you could also create a new linked record in the same process. Right now, with the web clipper, you can only create a new record and link it to existing records. ... View more
