Hi, I'm super excited about the new date dependency features. I've manually implemented that before with automations. However, limiting the precision to "days" seems arbitrary and limits the functionality to project management. Increasing the precision to minutes or seconds (or whatever the standard is for dates) would vastly improve utility for things like batch scheduling. Cheers, Scott

What is the proposed idea/solution? The idea is to have a field that contains a custom number of check boxes that can be individually labeled. For instance 4 boxes labeled Y1 (for Year 1), Y2, Y3 & Y4 to track the number of years a sponsor has paid a student's tuition. I can see other uses as well. If you sell punch cards - buy 10 get the 11th cup of coffee or yoga class etc free. You could check off the number of times the punch card has been used. How does is solve the user problems? This solves this user from having to have multiple check box columns - it's cleaner. Automations could be created when all boxes are checked. I'm sure others smarter than me can think of many more uses. Please enjoy the very sophisticated drawing attached.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add a Feature so you can change the background color of cells and whole colums manually or based on condition matching. How does is solve the user problems? Design of Tables and List Views will get more clean and easier to use / navigate. Also Users can color cells based on their content (like positive=green, negative=red, ...) How was this validated? It's basic visual Design theories. Who is the target audience? Nearly everyone, at least every user who needs to navigate through big airtable bases & list views.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add a 'Download All' button to attachment fields, which would enable users to download all of the attachments that have been uploaded to a given field in a record. This button could be located next to the current 'Attach File' button. How does is solve the user problems? Currently, you have to download each attachment individually by hovering over the attachment so the download icon appears, click the download icon and then repeat this process for each attachment. This is very time consuming and allows room for error (e.g. accidentally missing an attachment when trying to download all). Who is the target audience? Everyone can benefit from this feature, as it is a fairly useful, basic functionality request that would enhance efficiency. As social media managers, we would use this feature daily and our clients would also benefit from this.

What is the proposed idea/solution? When designing interfaces, if I create a button to create new records, the form does not allow for new options in single-select fields. I know there are workarounds, but a better idea is just to give designers the option via a toggle when in the "Edit pages" designer for forms. This toggle already exists in Interface Designer, (screenshot attached). Please include it for when designing forms within Interfaces. How does is solve the user problems? Makes users' lives easier. Enhances Airtable's capabilities. Currently they have to do workaround that involve multiple steps, and I'd rather not make a process take 3 steps when 1 would do. How was this validated? ? Who is the target audience? Everyone using the Interface forms.

To whom it may concern, An enhancement suggestion from Kalypso: Update the Date Dependencies configuration such that it assumes that when Start and Due Dates have been established and a Predecessor is changed, the Start and Due dates are updated instead of assuming those dates should stay the same and adjusting the Buffer. Alternatively, this could be a toggled option if current behavior is desired for some organizations. Expected Benefits: Enable the ability to set the Date Dependency behavior to align to an organizations use case. For those that would desire assuming dates should be updated, it will make it more efficient to updated without having to navigate between two separate views to make the update. Please consider adding this capability. Regards, Jason Knighten

To whom it may concern, An enhancement suggestion from Kalypso: While it is currently possible to link multiple Predecessors, the date calculations do not consider the impacts of any Predecessors beyond the first one. This can get complex but here is a pass at recommending how the solution should be designed: Finish to Start dependent task should base it's start date on the maximum finish date of all dependent tasks Example: Task 3 is dependent on Task 1 and Task 2. Task 1 ends on 10/24 and Task 2 ends on 10/31. Since Task 3 is Finish to Start and dependent on both tasks being completed, it should use the Task 2 10/31 finish date to define the Task 3 start date as 11/01. Start to Start dependent task should base it's start date on the maximum start date of all dependent tasks Example: Task 3 is dependent on Task 1 and Task 2. Task 1 starts on 10/19 and Task 2 starts on 10/26. Since Task 3 is Start to Start and dependent on both tasks having started, it should use the 10/26 start date to define the Task 3 start date as 10/26. Finish to Finish dependent task should base it's finish date on the maximum finish date of all dependent tasks Example: Task 3 is dependent on Task 1 and Task 2. Task 1 ends on 10/24 and Task 2 ends on 10/31. Since Task 3 is Finish to Finish and dependent on both tasks being finished, it should use the 10/31 finish date to define the Task 3 Finish date as 10/31. The start date would then be calculated based on the Duration of Tasks 3. Start to Finish dependent task should base it's finish date on the maximum start date of all dependent tasks Example: Task 3 is dependent on Task 1 and Task 2. Task 1 starts on 10/19 and Task 2 starts on 10/26. Since Task 3 is Start to Finish and dependent on both tasks having started, it should use the 10/26 start date to define the Task 3 Finish date as 10/26. The start date would then be calculated based on the Duration of Tasks 3. Expected Benefits: Improve ability to build dependencies to match real world dependencies requirements Please consider adding this capability. Regards, Jason Knighten

To whom it may concern, An enhancement suggestion from Kalypso: Type and Buffer, currently only available to update in Timeline view, should be part of the Date Dependencies required fields and thus available for update in other views and/or with Automations. Expected Benefits: Ability to configure all elements of date dependencies in any view Enable ability to use Type and Buffer fields as Automation triggers or targets of automation updates Please consider adding this capability.

To whom it may concern, An enhancement suggestion from Kalypso: When using the Date Dependencies settings, Start dates (And due dates if a Duration is already set), should auto populate when a Predecessor is selected. Currently, dates are not initially set by selecting the Predecessor and invalid dependency error is displayed which is not fixed by opening and selecting Fix all However, the dates are updated if, after setting the Predecessor, the date of the Predecessor is modified or the Due or Start dates as manually set Screen shot after having entered a Duration and selecting Predecessor. Selecting View All for the 1 Invalid Dependency error and selecting Fix All has no effect. However, if I update the date in the Predecessor, or select a date in the dependent task, then the dates are displayed. Here I changed the date in the Predecessor and the dates in the dependent task populate. Here, (after undo), I have selected the start date of the dependent task. Neither of those solutions should be necessary. Expected Benefits: More efficient and less confusing data configuration process for project schedules that utilize Date Dependency features. Please consider adding this capability. Regards, Jason Knighten

In my experience, tags are things that are added by the user, not by the admin. While tagging photos for example, it's almost impossible to predict what tags will be used. Make it so that I can add items in the multiselect interface. This could be an option in the field definition "Allow users to add options". This would work well with the other feature request I saw on here about showing how many of the other tags there are.
