I switched from Airtable from Google Sheets/Forms a while ago and while I love it, I am really missing having the data validation features of Google Forms. I have a lot of forms that have very specific formatting for how data needs to be entered and it would be great to force my users to enter it correctly instead of expecting them to follow the help text, because they don’t.

Using Airtable to plan out my day. I like this better than using Google Calendar or iCal since I can see the items as both a list and on a calendar. I can also have way more colors and categories without getting too complicated. Issue is that many of the items are 15 minute tasks and it’s hard to visualize when the tasks push each other to the side instead of stacking. I’d suggest that calendar view be customizable so the height shows X hours at a time. Then scroll can be used to see all the items within a day and no item needs to be pushed to the side because there isn’t enough height for the name of the item.

Short version: Why can’t airtable enforce unique entries for record IDs? This is an important feature and not having it is screwing me up. Long version: Continuing to spend most of my time working around Airtable’s billing policy. I’ve got a table where users will create work chits indicating they’ve worked x volunteer hours doing whatever. I’ve got 20 chit approvers and I really can’t afford to pay for 20 more users who will only doing approvals a few times per year. So, I’ve got a field in the Chit table that concatenates a URL which is then used to generate a link that goes in an email to the approver. When the approver clicks the link, it opens a new form for a new Approved Chit table and prefills the inputs with the values from the corresponding Chit record. I was really hoping to use the autonumber from the chit table to populate the Record ID for the Chit Approval table. My plan was to turn on unique enforcement for the Chit Approval table. But just realized that this feature doesn’t exist. My thinking was that by requiring uniqueness on the Chit Approval table, I would ensure that each chit can only generate one chit approval record. I’m not sure how to work around this one. Any suggestions mightily appreciated. But tired of spending all my energies to work around billing policies and really wishing that there was some policy based on usage rather than number of users.

Safari will adapt to the color of different websites with macOS 12 this fall. I’d love it if Airtable would change their code so the safari toolbar is the same as the header color. I’m sure many will appreciate that when the new version comes out!

VIEWS Selector UI Comp: PERMISSIONS position of the tooltip text isn’t always very good: Just Take a look at screens: BAD: tooltip position at VIEWS Selector UI Comp first render: GOOD: tooltip position after Mouse right hover: When you access VIEWs Selector often, it’s one more gesture you have to learn to simply see your views. Is there some way for User to deActivate these Tooltips ? I would prefer Airtable would fix first Tooltip position when appearing to UI. Best regards, oLπ Recorded on MACbook M1, OS Big Sur, CHROME ver.92 (arm64) autoUpdated.
