What is the proposed idea/solution? Let us create custom terms for records in tables in addition to selecting from the predefined list.  How does is solve the user problems? The list provides a great starting point for record names, but too often terms aren't available. For instance, Phone Number isn't an available term, despite having a record field type of Phone Number, and neither is Number. This translates to the interfaces any time an 'Add Record' button appears to a linked record field, which may cause confusion if an intuitive term is not available. This is a relatively small ask (that I do not understand the technical requirements of at all, so please don't misunderstand me) that would go a long way to improve the user experience, especially to those users less tech-savvy than others. How was this validated? Every single time I've searched for a term in the pre-defined list of terms for records, I almost always come up empty. Who is the target audience? Moreso end users unfamiliar with Airtable who see a button to add/create/link records.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Only allow certain interface page groups to be visible to specific users How does is solve the user problems? Not everyone on large teams needs to see all the information How was this validated? Some fields are visible to all that do not need/want to be Who is the target audience? Enterprise users with multiple teams working in a base

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.

Currently, if you have multiple layouts of an open record panel that are used in a variety of places, when you go to delete a layout, it will only tell you where it's being used. That's all fine and well but then you have to go hunt down each individual place where that's being used which, depending on the size of your interface(s), can be nearly impossible which means you're removing the ability to click into records in those locations. There should be an option when deleting an open record panel layout to default all locations that are using **bleep** to change to another layout of your choice. This would tremendously help consolidating layouts. If Airtable really wanted to tackle this problem (which of course would be an Enterprise, possibly Business plan feature) would be a central place that manages all layouts for all datasets. But at the minimum, all Airtable users should have a 'default to another layout' option when deleting a layout.

In interface designer using a standard view, I can turn off field labels, but when I'm in grid or gallery views, and click to enter a specific record, I can't turn off those same labels. They are redundant and add clutter and I'd love to be able to turn them off.

It is possible to impersonate a user while building/previewing Interfaces. Unfortunately impersonation is limited to the visibility of records, but doesn't consider the impersonee's permissions. E.g. an admin that impersonates a read-only user can still change the value of a field through an automation triggered by a button. Respecting the impersonee's permissions at least in preview mode would be very helpful for building interfaces.

It would be nice to be able to customize the content of tooltip in Interface charts by selecting another fields to be displayed in the tooltip.

Feature Request: It would be great if Airtable scripting blocks or button fields could support browser-level JavaScript interactions, including: window.open() Functionality: Allow scripts or buttons to open external links in small, controlled windows. Custom In-Page Pop-Ups (Modals): Allow scripts or buttons to create in-page pop-ups (modals) that provide real-time feedback, confirmation messages, alerts, or custom input forms directly inside the Airtable interface. This would create a smoother user experience without opening new tabs or navigating away from Airtable. Redirect to Created Record: Enable the ability to automatically redirect users to a newly created or updated record after completing an action (such as a form submission or automation). This would enhance navigation and user flow. Use Case Examples: Fillout.com Forms: I want to click a button in Airtable to open a Fillout.com form in a small window instead of a new tab, similar to Google’s login pop-ups. In-Page Pop-Ups and Alerts: If a user changes the status of a task (e.g., from "In Progress" to "Completed"), a pop-up could appear prompting them to fill out additional fields (e.g., feedback or completion notes) before the change is confirmed. This ensures necessary data is captured right when it’s needed, without leaving the Airtable interface. Redirect to Created Record: After an automation or script creates a new record, automatically redirect the user to that record for immediate viewing or editing, streamlining workflow.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Currently we've got the option of formatting a formula field as a single select, I'd like to format it as a muliple choice How does is solve the user problems? I'd use this feature for labeling records with what fields still need to be filled. Lets say the Name and Email fields are empty, it would show at the top of the record red labels of what information still needs to be filled in the record, and as you enter the info, the labels disappear. Yes you can use automations with a script for this, but it doesn't work instant. it takes 10-15 seconds per run. using a formula would be instant.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Extend controls for users with editor access to interfaces to be able to make columns wider and even move fields in the interface Grid view, just as it works in the database view. How does is solve the user problems? Right now, you can't make columns wider, which is even more restrictive than the list view of interfaces. I think having some additional controls over the grid view will make it appeal to certain users more familiar with spreadsheets and give them more of a sense of control. How was this validated? Users more familiar with Airtable have found some interfaces to be more restrictive than they prefer, even if they enjoy interfaces. Especially the grid view, which is so powerful in the base, is especially limiting in the interface. Who is the target audience? Users more familiar with spreadsheets. Users with some experience in Airtable. Commercial clients who want a bit more flexibility than is currently available on the grid view.
