It would be really cool if we could copy and paste the actual fields themselves (not the data) between tables. For example, if I have 5 fields that are: single-select field multi-select field checkbox field number field formula field based on the fields above I would love to copy all 5 of those fields and then paste them into another table. (No copying of data is necessary.) And then, upon pasting those 5 fields into another table, I would end up with: A single-select field with the exact same options & colors that were in the other table. A multi-select field with the exact same options & colors that were in the other table. A checkbox field that is formatted the same way as the other table. A number field that is formatted the same way as the other table. The same formula, but referencing the fields in this new table. This is something that comes up a lot when it comes time to “cleaning up” my client’s Airtable systems. I am often eliminating a lot of unnecessary tables and consolidating tables together. But I have to recreate each field from scratch, and recreate all the formatting/coloring options from scratch. It’s not too difficult to recreate the select-field options (since we can convert a text field into a select-field), but it would be awesome if we could just copy & paste everything in one fell swoop.

Context We’re putting together an order form for our clients. The various components of that order are listed in other tables. So they use linked record fields to select which components they need for the order. Problem Because linked records only display the primary field, clients aren’t able to see the image of the component they’re choosing. As a workaround, we’re using helper text and shared links so they can at least see a catalogue of their options alongside the form. But representative thumbnails directly in the form would be preferred. Current state of order form: Catalogue example: ... View more

Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before, if it has I don’t see it. It would be useful if I could have single select fields have coloured options in grid view but not in a form. Rationale: If I am running a survey where I would like to be able to spot certain selections easily or Red/Amber/Green answers in Grid View - I don’t want them to appear this way to the person inputting data on the form as to bias the results. Thanks ... View more

In many different areas of Airtable, important fields have their information completely cut off. You can see this with calendar views, gallery views, kanban views, forms, and linked records. Below is an example of a cut-off linked record. What year is the linked record? Is the time of the linked record AM or PM? What makes this kind of absurd is that Airtable actually KNOWS that these are date & time fields, but Airtable itself doesn’t even give enough room for its own date & time fields to display properly. ...

Currently, the calendar will ONLY show us the “Primary Field” as the calendar event name. While this seems like this would work all the time, this is actually not the ideal situation in many different situations. Many times, our Primary Field is a formula field that we have chosen for very important database-specific reasons, but want to display ANOTHER field as the name of the event on the calendar itself. The Primary Field often has very little to do with the field name that we actually want to display on the calendar. Please give us the ability to choose whatever field we want as the title of our calendar event! Please — this is very important, and it is a basic feature of calendaring. ... View more

It would appear that the ‘Date’ field does not record seconds. Here’s why I think this: Here are the formulas I’m using to expose this: DATETIME_FORMAT({Date (no secs?)}, ‘DD-MM-YYYY h:mm:ss’) DATETIME_FORMAT({Created Time}, ‘DD-MM-YYYY h:mm:ss’) I hope I’m wrong about this. I need to be able to grab seconds from a ‘Date’ record. View discussion of this in Dates and Timezones category ... View more

Love the long text field rich text options. Can we extend markdown to formulas as well? Why The usage could extend way beyond this, but my use cases are summary fields using rollups and formulas. Right now it looks like this: But as ‘Satuses’ scales to track more complicated lists, I’d like it to look more like: Complete 001: Modeling (someone’s name) 002: Modeling (someone’s name) Incomplete 003: Modeling (someone’s name) 004: Modeling (someone’s name) The bold formatting really makes a difference from a readability standpoint. Monospace or tab characters \t would also be lovely to ensure consistent formatting. ... View more

I create a leave form where an employee can select the start and end date. But as per the current functionally it is not possible with Airtable Form. There should have an option where the user can select the date range. ... View more

A client of mine just discovered a small issue with Airtable when it comes to the “Send Record” command. (“Send Record” is the command you can choose when right-clicking on a record.) If you have an attachment field as part of your record, Airtable will place a small thumbnail of your attachment in the outgoing email. This is fantastic! 🙂 However, if your attachment field is actually a LOOKUP FIELD that displays an attachment, then the thumbnail is no longer placed in the outgoing email. Airtable just places a link to the attachment instead. What’s interesting is that all other types of lookup fields (text, dates, numbers, etc.) seem to get placed in the outgoing email just fine — it seems like only attachments cause this issue. ...
