What is the proposed idea/solution? You can "hide identical fields", but not computed fields (which can't be merged). Let users choose to also hide the computed fields. How does is solve the user problems? It will be easier to have an overview of the records when those fields are hidden. Less scrolling

Hello! I have searched… but I have not found an option to print/export pdf one by one, with a dynamic pdf name. It’s possible with zappier + pdf filer, but I wanted to stay on Airtable for the whole process 🙂
My issue: I made a page layout with dynamic fields, and when I print them, I have only one big pdf called “BDDname_ BDDtable - Airtable.pdf”. Is it possible in the future to export record one by one in pdf, with a dynamic name for the pdf, for exemple : FirstName-LastName.pdf for each one.
Thanks! Eric

Would be a great feature to auto populate certain graphical information like logo’s and head shots alla FullContact. Example paste email in email field for a contact and then have it auto populate linkedin URL and photo from Linked in the the same contact. Full contact doesn’t do this for Logo’s only head shots. But I think pulling logo’s from a companies linked in page would also be interesting.

What is the proposed idea/solution? A better and more flexible way to export views as pdf. How does is solve the user problems? Now the pdf export for views is very limited. There is no logo options, row dimension settings,.... How was this validated? Who is the target audience? People at meetings, users who still need to print to do lists for collaboration ( i'm an architect and workers on the field need information printed on paper)

It seems that there is no way to get photos attached to records to export. I use a lot of photos - images are a key reason that I turned to AirTable. But it is frustrating that I can’t back the photo aspects of my work to my hard drive. Photo exports could also help AirTable work better in a contact database capacity.

What is the proposed idea/solution? When importing data to a base from, for example a CSV, it would be extremely useful to be able to set static values on some columns. Eg: I'm importing bank statement data and I would like to manually set the bank account name in a column as I'm importing. Eg: I would like to give an ID to this import so I know all the rows which were imported. How does is solve the user problems? Saves time having to do it later and also possibly losing the How was this validated? In my brain. Who is the target audience? Everyone who imports data

This isn’t super high priority, because I know that we can accomplish this using Airtable’s API or the scripting block or great tools like this one, but it would be super cool if we could do this upon importing a CSV file into Airtable: If a CSV file has a column of URL’s that each represent a publicly-accessible image somewhere, it would be cool to be able to directly import that CSV file into Airtable, and be able to map that column of URL’s directly into an Attachment field. Then, upon importing the URL’s, Airtable could download the images at those URL’s into the Attachment field. Alternatively, it would be equally cool if we could import the URL’s on the CSV file into a URL field in Airtable, and then upon converting the URL field to an Attachment field, Airtable would download the images at those URL’s.

Two product suggestions for the CSV Import Block: If our CSV file has a field in it that doesn’t already exist in our Airtable table, the CSV Import Block just completely ignores that CSV field. However, it would be great if the Import Block gave us the option to create new fields for any new fields that it finds in the CSV file. Please allow us to import fields into Long Text Fields, even if Rich Text Formatting is turned on. Currently, it’s a real bummer that the Import Block can’t import fields from a CSV file into a Long Text field, if the Rich Text Formatting option is turned on for the Long Text field. CSV files NEVER have any rich text formatting because they are simply plain text files, so I’m not sure why it would be a problem to simply import plain text into a field that has RTF enabled on it. As it stands now, the only way to import CSV files into a long text field is to turn OFF the RTF formatting option in Airtable — but then we lose all of the previous formatting that we had applied in that long text field. :frowning:

When doing a new CSV import, you can add records, modify existing ones, but you can’t delete records from your old table that aren’t in the new dataset. It would be good to have this as an option, or at least highlight the records that are from a previous import which weren’t present in a new csv import.

When i’m using a lookup, conditionnal lookup or simply if there is a lot of attachements in a field. Its often horrible to download each one of them individually. It would be perfect to simply a button in the corner to “Download All” and then it could include everything in a .zip file.
