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.

I would love to be able to import a list with an extra field that I define during the CSV import or contact card import. For example, I’d like to import a contact group with the field “Group” being something I can label as “Pearl’s College Friends” on the fly, for the entire import file. Since VCF format doesn’t have this built in it should have an option to include a single line of text, or a checkbox, or whatever during import. For the CSV import I suppose I could manually edit the CSVs before import to say what I want, but it would be great to do this in realtime during import as well, as recreating a CSV is a multi step process.

As an end user, I would like the ability to copy a selection of rows/columns from Airtable and paste it into Microsoft Word as a table. Currently, the selection is pasted as plain text. The plain text can be pasted into an existing table, but the paste selection must be exactly the same number of rows and columns, which is hard to determine.

Hi - I am wondering if it’s possible to automatically get Airtable to pull documents into a database from a certain folder on my desktop. I have a Mac. Is Automator a possible way to do this? Any guidelines would be great. Thanks!

Here’s the use case: The XLM of a blog post has multiple elements. When importing this XLM to Airtable, you can’t have a multiple-select column with all the hashtags in it. You have the first hashtag by asking for /hashtags[1] but you can’t assign /hashtags[1] and /hashtags[2] to one field in your Airtable sheet. Cheers

Printing to PDF leaves the possibility of copying or opening in Word/Excel or using scripts to get all the data. Please add an option to disable “Print view”.

I’ve just been trying out the XML import block. It would be really useful for us, but you can’t currently import XML data into a field type which is “Link to another record”. You can do this with the CSV import block. It would be excellent if the XML import block supported this too.

Right now I am converting my PDF forms into JPGs in order to upload them and utilize them on Page Builder. I am then creating table links to different portions of the form and basically creating an airtable fill-able pdf. My reasoning for utilizing this instead of just doing the online pdf is because I have portions of documents that need to be filled out by clients and it is much more convenient to send them a link to a form than try and mark up every part I need them to type. This also allows me to capture their response into my database so that I can utilize their information elsewhere. A one and done deal, I can export (automatically) the responses to a csv and directly import them into my title block on the software I use. I think adding pdfs to the static section of the page builder would be great, especially if it scaled the page by the pdf size.

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.

Sorry if this is a duplicate but couldn’t find it. Among the options when adding a new table, it would be great if there was Import from Table (from same or another base), so that we could have an exact duplicate, including formulas and stuff. For example: I have two bases and I want to combine them. I can duplicate each base and keep history and comments, but if I want to duplicate a table from one base into another, I am left with pasting (not good for many records/fields) or CSV importing. In both cases, I lose all comments and history and rework most (for pasting)/all (in case of csv) of the fields.
