Hi Airtable, I have created a new attribute which links from one table1 to table2. In table3, I have added a lookup field and grouped by it. However the ‘+’ option to add new rows is not available. It would be a great feature if there was the ability to add new rows in grid view when grouped by roll up/lookup/expression fields ... View more

I want to limit a view to a set # of records (10, for example), as requested here. Airtable defines views as: you can use views to show only specific fields or records, and apply other configurations to manage the information in that view Exactly: “show only specific fields or records”. This is basic functionality, included in all programming languages, and should be built natively into Airtable (in my humblest of opinions 🙂 ) without requiring an automation, or a script, or any “workaround”, as suggested in the link above. Thanks for your consideration! ... View more

It would be very helpful if I could link tasks as dependencies (which is already possible) and have my dependent task start dates calculate off its predecessor’s end date. Just like in MS Project, all users would need to input would be the predecessor and duration, then the start and end dates would be automatically calculated. For now, I’m having to use MS Project or Excel to calculate all the start and end dates based on linkage and duration, then copy/paste that information into Airtable for every single task. When a task date changes, it could impact dozens of other tasks’ timelines. Using only Airtable, I would have to manually check every single task (my projects have upwards of 100 tasks) to decide if it is impacted by the change, and then calculate and update the dates for every impacted task. This is very time consuming so when a client asks “what is the total impact if I’m 4 days late with this task?” I can’t just make the update and see the change. I have to use a separate tool to calculate that change and get back to them with the response. Needing to rely on a separate tool also means I have to maintain all tasks in both tools. When anything changes, I need to record it both in Airtable and in MS Project. ... View more

It would be great to be able to sort stacks in the Kanban view according to different criteria. Our use case is for work orders. As they go through different work centers, their priorities will change. An example would be sorting the Press stack by Press Priority from first-last, and the Packaging stack by Packaging Priority from first-last. Thanks ... View more

I have 15 different views in a single table and will duplicate the table 4 more times. In each table I just need to change one filter and it would be amazing if I could do a search through the views for a specific setting and change 1 single value, instead of having to go through 45 views and manually change it. ...

Currently within a view if you delete a filter you then need to set the entire thing up again to get it back. It would be handy in many situations to be able to ‘pause’ a filter. This would allow a single view to hold various commonly used filters and you would be able to turn them off and on as you’d like, rather than having to set up entirely new views for each individual filter combination. ...

Often I create a View of a Table that I end up using on a Block - usually a Chart. If I later forget why I made the view and delete it, I will have broken a Chart in a Dashboard somewhere and have no idea about it. It would be really helpful either to indicate that a View is used somewhere in a Block, or simply to warn me when I delete it. ... View more

Hi there! I know that advanced user permissions are something the developers are working towards, and I saw that providing examples of our use cases can be very helpful for that purpose. Hopefully I’m posting in the right place? I am the development director of a small team (13) of indie game developers. We use airtable to keep track of tasks, meetings & milestones, and developer statistics such as average hour estimate accuracy. This is the second team I have used airtable with. Most of them have not used airtable before and I have noticed some issues while onboarding them - there’s a direct relationship between how robust my setup is and how much bloat there is that confuses them. I am most concerned with view access for fields. While it is possible to hide fields in certain views, they are still visible when the record is opened. I would love three levels of viewing access for fields - displayed on a card and when the record is opened, displayed only when the record is opened, and not displayed at all. This is because I make high use of linked records, formulas, rollup, etc. Many of these fields don’t really “read” to the human eye, and having them commingled with important fields like ‘Logged Hours’ or ‘Priority’ confuses my developers. Of course I order the fields so that these are always at the bottom, and in a grid view it’s not an issue - but for task management, kanban is the ideal view, and these can only be edited when you open the record. This issue could also be mitigated with more robust available formulas, reducing the need for lots of fields that essentially perform filter functions. ... View more
