What is the proposed idea/solution? We would love it if we could automatically set all Bases in a workspace to a single, non-UTC default time zone. It may also be helpful for other users to be able to set individual Bases, or all fields in an individual Table. How does this solve the user problems? For users with many bases, that each have many tables, which each have many fields, it is tedious to fix time zone errors manually. Being able to set a global time zone option would dramatically speed up workflow for anyone who uses Calendar Views that port data in from several different Bases. Who is the target audience? Workspace management end users.

I would love to be able to have a record appear in two groups when using a multiple select field, rather than having the record create a new group that is the combination: i.e. Record 1 — A Record 2 — B Record 3 — A,B Group A Record 1 Record 3 Group B Record 1 Record 3 Current functionality creates a new group called Group A,B and each group then only has one record.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ... A new feature that transposes the Rows and Columns of a View. How does is solve the user problems? ... It is useful to transpose the Rows and Columns of a Table for for viewing and / or calculations. In Airtable it is more efficient to create Records for time rather than Fields (e.g. each Row is a unit of Time like a Week, Month, Quarter, Year, etc. and not the column). The ability to see each unit of Time as a column moving from left to right is standard practice. How was this validated? ...This is a core feature to all spreadsheet applications. Who is the target audience? ...All Users

When we have a lot of fields on a table and many views, it becomes labour-intensive to manage. Often fields are related and we want to manage and display them as an ordered group in multiple views. An example might be the financial aspects of a product, where cost, price, sales volume, revenue, tax, and profit are related. A mechanism to manage them as a group in views would be a major efficiency win, and also increase consistency as the group is always displayed in the same order and with no field missing. Colour coding of the group would also be valuable for visual identification. Retaining the ability to manage them individually in addition to managing in a group would be very nice. The ability to add a field to multiple groups would be even nicer. Thank you for the great product

Often I'm needing to cycle the Autonumber field to cater for changes made to table data. We could really use a simple method to reset the number count for the Autonumber field. Currently, the only method is to change the field from Autonumber to either Text/Number field, and then change it back again into Autonumber, which then resets the count as desired - but is a pain. Please also consider other counting methods too, maybe a simple method that allows the user to adjust the base, be it Base 10, Base 16 (hex), and a simple alphanumeric, where select letters can be removed (such as the letter l and I, as not to be confused with 1, and Q and O to avoid mixups with 0.)

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow users to add a new record on another table through a linked field, when inside a form. How does is solve the user problems? Currently, in a form a user can select a record from a linked field, but they cannot create a new record through that linked field. This would be very helpful for instances when a new record needs to be added and you want to give that ability to the user. How was this validated? Not sure what "How was this validated" means... I found the issue because I wanted to create a new record from inside of a form, but I didn't have the ability to. Who is the target audience? Form submitters

To whom it may concern, The recent development to all different dependency types and buffer for schedule dependencies in Timeline view is a great start to a long standing gap for schedule management with Airtable but there are still may improvements needed to make it more adoptable as follows: Make the attributes (Type and Buffer) part of the Date Dependencies configuration such that they are fields in Grid View, List View, etc. and not just accessed by clicking dependency line in Timeline view Update Gantt views to recognize the dependencies as valid Enable ability with Only Weekends (Mon-Fri) to allow specifically identified weekends as exceptions (Similar to how Holidays works to exclude but is an include) Enable ability to assign holidays to specific Users in the schedule (Currently we have a custom configuration which enables this capability but would be better if it is OOTB) Supporting Pics attached. Best Regards, Jason Knighten

We are currently consolidating our style guide in Airtable. It would be of great help if a new HEX field and a new COLOR field were introduced to use as a design color for fields, text, shapes or backgrounds in interfaces. The new COLOR field would then display the color of a selected HEX field, both in tables as in interfaces. Along that same line it would be great if Admins could define global HEX colors for the entire workspace, so these colors can be used to brand the user experience for everyone. These custom colors would then show up as a custom color list everywhere in Airtable, where colors can be used/selected.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add a new field called Rate—a number/currency column that can add a suffix (custom field) such as a unit. Same as how the Currency field works, where we can add a custom prefix, but this one adds a custom suffix. Additionally, we should still be able to format them (integer, decimal, currency). For example: 5 grams 9.81 m/s $9.99 /bundle How does this solve the user problems? This would remove the need to create a field for the unit and concatenate it using a formula field, allowing two fewer fields in a view. Who is the target audience? Everyone, most especially those who use Airtable for information, research, retail, and inventory.
