What is the proposed idea/solution? Create the ability to only include records in a look-up field that are filtered by conditions or a view. Right now, you can only select records based on filtered conditions or a view. It is a strenuous and long process to have to find or copy and paste multiple records into a field when they are already filtered in a separate view in the linked table... How does it solve the user problems? This would give us the ability to generate reports for our partners much quicker with linked information and manage our projects more efficiently... How was this validated? I have tried workarounds like filtering conditions in a rollup field, automation script writing, Automation triggering with no solution... Who is the target audience? Companies that need a more efficient way to report marketing campaigns to partners based to accomodate the limitations of Page Designer...

Capacity Rather than having time against items spread evenly over X days, having another junction table that tracks time entries would be great. For example, I have a 10-hour task to do over 3 days and spend from 10am to 4pm working on it on the first day. This leaves 4 hours of work to do, which can then be spread over the next two days. Should I then do none of that work on day 2, all 4 hours of it would need to be done on the 3rd day. Available hours The available hours are powerful, but don't allow us to track half days or exclude certain types of time off, both of which are crucial to utilisation. Many people take half days but these would appear in the timeline view as either normal days or time off, leaving the user in a position where they have to know when people are off work. It'd be ideal to select a view in the "Time off" table to filter out people who are off sick, at a conference or have had their leave request rejected, for example.

Please extend the comments feature so that it is broader than the limited focus of per record comments. Enhanced Collaborative Communication: By allowing comments at different levels, team members can have more context-specific discussions. This feature would enable users to leave comments on a specific base, table, or view, fostering clearer, more organized communication. It would essentially turn Airtable into a more collaborative workspace, where team members can easily discuss broader strategies at the base level, specific data sets at the table level, and particular views or filters. Improved Workflow Management: This feature would be a game changer for project management. Teams could streamline their workflow by discussing and tracking changes directly within Airtable, reducing the need for external communication tools. This centralized communication would lead to fewer misunderstandings and a more cohesive workflow, especially in remote or hybrid work environments. User-Friendly Experience: Embedding comments at different levels would make Airtable more intuitive and user-friendly. Users could easily navigate to relevant discussions without having to sift through unrelated comments at the record level. This is particularly beneficial for new team members who need to quickly understand the context and history of a project. Comments at the view level strike me as being the most useful - views are where most work is taking place and being able to have focused discussions at that level next to the data would be incredibly useful.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Feedback from a UX perspective: It would be really helpful if there was a menu item on each base that takes the user to the base’s workspace. How does is solve the user problems? It would save me time from going back home and scrolling through all of my workspaces to get to another base within the same workspace How was this validated? Experience; it would help all users ...

Following the upoming changes on the price plans, and the huge difference betwen Team and Business plans, it will be to consider having and paid add-on just to upgrade the storage space of the Team plan, as this is, at least for me the biggest problem of this change from Pro to Team plan.

The ability to link a table with a view, and a dashboard would be VERY nice.... EXAMPLE : You have a base for contacts with tables for name, zipcode, country So for instance- When the 'zipcode' table tab is clicked the view changes to whatever view you set- and you also have ability to open a dashboard window of your choosing (ie map api showing zipcode location on map) This would be a VERY useful and easy to do addition to a base, which makes it easy to QUICKLY see information how the USER wants to see it.... sooo many things could be done with this ability to pre-set views 😃

What is the proposed idea/solution? Create an extension (or add ability to Forms) that would allow a user to enter in new data once, which would then create new records in multiple appropriate linked tables. For example, currently adding a person, address, phone#, email address would require creating 4 new records and entering each. Yes, you can do this from a grid view, but each additional linked table makes this very cumbersome. Ideally, you should be able to enter in all the data for one logical record (first name, last name, street address, city, state, zip, phone #, phone type, email address, etc.) and the extension would create a new record in each appropriate table, linking them as needed. ... How does is solve the user problems? Data entry in linked tables in a PIA, esp the more linked tables there are. ... How was this validated? Very common age-old issue. Other db products have this capability. ... Who is the target audience? Everyone creating new records with schema that uses linked tables. (i.e., just about everyone?) ...

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.
