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? ...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.

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? 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.

Can synced tables be changed to allow syncing from within the same base? Currently, creating a synced table does not allow syncing from a table in the same base. When only one source was allowed, this was reasonable, as creating a synced copy of a table in the same base doesn’t make sense. Now that you can have multiple sources, there are valid use-cases for this. For example, the map app only lets you to work with one view, and I would like to visualize the addresses from multiple tables in one map. I can use multi-source synced tables create a single table for use by the map app, but this now must be in a separate base, due to the originally mentioned constraint.

When using the coding block to edit code the documentation for Selecting a table table.selectRecordsAsync could use a lot more example code.
For example - finding a specific record … geting it’s ID … then updating the record with new info… a common practice.
Think in terms of the typical DB SQL select command…

Just a Feature Request: I use synced tables a TON and I wish there was a readily available “Sync Now” Lightning bolt instead of having to click the drop-down on the Table tab. Or even a key command could be cool. Instead of ⌘+V to paste, it could be ⌘+S to sync. Something where I don’t have to constantly remember where the “Sync Now” button is located would be awesome for the bases that are synced.

I’ve just been trying out the XML import block. It would be really useful for us, but you can’t currently import XML data into a field type which is “Link to another record”. You can do this with the CSV import block. It would be excellent if the XML import block supported this too.

Ability to create instance a table of another base into Another base. That instance will just mirror the actual table form from other base. This will solve all the cross-base feature requests and issues 🙂
