What is the proposed idea/solution? ...Allow the User to "Add Records From" a Table within the current base. How does is solve the user problems? ...In order to bring together data from multiple Tables, they each need to exist in separate Base outside of the current Base. Without this feature, the User must create multiple Bases in order to combine multiple Tables into one Table. Who is the target audience? ...Every user who Syncs multiple Tables or wants to combine multiple Tables into one.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...User is able to select multiple Views. Any changes applied to the first selected View are applied to the other selected Views (e.g. Column Width, Column Order, "Hide fields", "Filter", "Group", "Sort", "Color", "Row Height") How does is solve the user problems? ...Currently the process is manual for each View. This can be extremely time consuming and prone to human error, that can affect Synced Tables. Who is the target audience? ...Users who have more than one View per Table, especially users with a large number of Views per Table.

Who is the target audience? ...All Users of "Single Select" or "Multi-Select Fields" across multiple Tables and / or Bases

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...Rather than having to manually type in the potential options for a Single Select or Multi-Select Field, the User can Sync a Table with standardized options. How does is solve the user problems? ...This would greatly speed up standardizing Single Select and Multi-Select options across many Tables and Bases. Who is the target audience? ...All Users of "Single Select" or "Multi-Select Fields" across multiple Tables and / or Bases

In the View pane, the little gear in the search bar (above) grants the option of filtering out everyone's personal views—is there a way an option can be added to show only views that are being synced and/or shared? And maybe even something that gives people the option to exclude synced views from the list. Or maybe include a little indicator (a little pink asterisk or icon to match the "Share and sync" menu in the topbar, perhaps) next to View names? We have a lot of views and having a way to quickly see the views from which data is flowing out would be helpful. Right now I believe this kind of functionality is only available in the Share menu, which to me doesn't feel as intuitive and hampers visibility.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add more imported data from each email imported from Outlook via Automations. Specifically I'm missing "Conversation ID" that could be very useful to automatically group emails that are part of a longer conversation. If possible, also being able to get at least PDF attachments would be amazing. How does is solve the user problems? I have to rely on one or more services to get these features today (Power Automate (has more data from each email) to Google Sheets, then using automations to import from Google sheets. As you already have a Outlook integration, adding a few more data points should be easy. How was this validated? Other services provide much more data points for Outlook emails. Who is the target audience? People that use Outlook and Automations to import emails from their inbox to Airtable.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add a way to filter the list of records that are no longer synched in a synched table where records remain after they are removed from the source. The current UI (attached screenshot) is basic and only filters for if the record is no longer available in the original. How does this solve the user problems? We need to keep an archive of records from a form where people link records coming from a synched listing that is updated quarterly. Only the current quarter is updated / linkable. As the table grows, I want to delete any records that are out of date (or unavailable) AND that don't have a form submission linked. By adding in more filter functions for this list I can accurately delete specific records and keep the ones I need for the archive. How was this validated? ? Who is the target audience? All users who need a system to be a point of operations and have a clear workflow for archiving.

I'm excited to use the external calendar feature (described here) to bring my Airtable data into my other scheduling tools. I understand that each record's primary field will be shown as the event titles, but for this to be really useful, I'd like to be able to specify additional fields to map to the other properties in the iCalendar VEVENT spec (here), such as the location and the description. It would be nice to use a different field for the event title as well, since the primary field is used so heavily elsewhere in Airtable. I realize I might be able to use an Automation to create and update the events in Google Calendar, but keeping everything in sync this way adds a lot of complexity and brittleness.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...include an option for automation on field updates to not trigger on each keystroke (i.e. to trigger when focus is lost on the watched field or some other solution) How does is solve the user problems? ...triggering automations on each keystroke causes several problems, especially with two-way sync either within Airtable or with external sources (discussed here: https://community.airtable.com/t5/automations/automation-starts-immediately-after-the-first-keystroke/td-p/101927) How was this validated? ...I have a base that this is causing issues for Who is the target audience? ...anyone who has automations in bases that are enabled with two-way sync

What is the proposed idea/solution? User can choose to send an email directly from comments section. The resulting reply shows up in the comments. Particularly useful is to have an email per workspace How does is solve the user problems? All communication relating to the record/task/client shows up in said record/task/client. This is without having to add erroneous user seat count and or guest usage to Airtable account. Who is the target audience? Any one needing a decent CRM/Ticket/Job management solution, on a none existent budget My user case is extremely specific, but here it is, as briefly and as simplistically as I can put it: I am a reseller for a major ISP, in an effort to increase my commission split I as added as a "sub-agent" to an existing agent. The issue is I lost access to their CRM tool. So I created and interface which allows me to keep track of my clients with the agent I am attached to. This works fine for the most basic of communication between him and me. How ever when I send an email to a client or to our support desk, the evidence of this communication is not recorded in the reciprocal record/task in Airtable.
