Right now Records are Displayed via their primary key. But with some data, it is easier to have a separate primary key that can be hidden or not use as the Record Display name.

Hi folks, The product is fantastic from a UI perspective. The ability to enter and manipulate data is top-notch. Even the filtering, grouping, and other sorting mechanisms are great… but they have limitations. My issue is that as I’m trying to build out my “product” I’m continually running into walls on either how the outputs are visualized, or how the data can be organized and output. Simple things like the ability to get a unique list out of a linked column to more complex things like being able to do more with a grid. Because all of our needs are unique, and one company or product can’t possibly solve them all, I’d love to see the ability for users to expand the built-in capabilities. Maybe you allow someone to create a new field type (based on a SQL-like query), or maybe you give folks the ability to design new blocks (so I can extend how the grid block works). Either way, it feels like the next way for Airtable to grow is to allow the user base to build (and share) what it needs. As it stands, I’m out looking at other products right now. So close! Cheers, Al

It’s so nice to group things quickly and see the result, many times you need these results on a clipboard and don’t want to create a new rollup table. Thanks!

It would be great to be able to toggle privacy and visibility settings for just about any element, such as: blocks, dashboards, views, tables, forms, etc.

Continuing the discussion from Base level revision history: I know I can see the history of each record on the right side of the expanded view, but I’d like to be able to view the entire history of the base. I would also like to view the entire history for a particular user. Are either of these things currently possible? I’m hoping I’m just missing them… Splitting this discussion off from the discussion of revision history for entire bases, as it’s a slightly different feature request!

It would be great to link to other records in the comment section of records, in the same way we can reference collaborators using the @ feature. It could use the same @ function, or perhaps use # as a pre-cursor. For example, if I typed the following: Hey, @Jane Doe, you can find more details about that here: #Record Name Where the “#Record Name” links to the record in Airtable. Does that make sense?

When I am searching for a linked record, I can only search if I know the first field (locked) for that table. However, when I start typing, I can see other fields listed in the options for each record that comes up. I’d like to search by those other fields, that will still get me to that linked record, not by just the first field. Example. Many of the linked records are listed like XMANS, XMAND, MANGS, UMIMG, UMIMA I can’t remember all of these codes, but I know what I am searching for - so if I typed something like “Ear Mite” it would show me possible linked records to choose from, of which I would select UMIMG. Hopefully that makes sense - will try to attach an image.

Would like to be able to back up each base from the airtable “home” page (from the base dropdown), rather than have to open each base to do it.

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.
