What is the proposed idea/solution? When designing interfaces, if I create a button to create new records, the form does not allow for new options in single-select fields. I know there are workarounds, but a better idea is just to give designers the option via a toggle when in the "Edit pages" designer for forms. This toggle already exists in Interface Designer, (screenshot attached). Please include it for when designing forms within Interfaces. How does is solve the user problems? Makes users' lives easier. Enhances Airtable's capabilities. Currently they have to do workaround that involve multiple steps, and I'd rather not make a process take 3 steps when 1 would do. How was this validated? ? Who is the target audience? Everyone using the Interface forms.

I really need for Kanban to work with a multiselect field the way Timeline works. The ability to group/lane by each option in the multiselect field. Then if there is more than one selection then the card appears in each lane of the selections. I would think that in the split scenario, if a card is selected with options A and B ... then if you grab a card to move it from option A to Option C, it would result in Option B and option C now. If you needed to add a 3rd selection, then you would go into expanded view to edit the selections. We are using this as a todo/workload board. Anything under a team/persons name indicates it's in progress, and we can see what they are working on and when each are due. In some cases we have a task that needs more than one person working on it, but do not want to create new projects for these scenarios.

The ability to create tables and records in this type of view would change my life.

Hello Community, I’ve had a bit of an idea. At our company, we have tables that can have up to 30-40 columns in them, especially on the “summary” or “master” tables, where data is assembled from other tables. This can get very confusing. What If we could group similar columns together in a similar way we group rows? Color-coded, collapsible, and individually shareable. It could be quite powerful. Thoughts?

What is the proposed idea/solution? If an email field is set to required on a form, the form should not allow the user to submit unless there is a valid (properly formatted) email address entered into the field. How does is solve the user problems? It allows form users to fix issues before submitting a form with invalid data. It helps the form owner ensure that the incoming data is correct. It makes it more likely that the form owner will be able to contact form users and e.g. send confirmation emails. How was this validated? People are expressing their frustration about the lack of this issue on a number of different threads in the Airtable forums. Who is the target audience? People creating sign-up forms or any form where the form submitter might need to be contacted as a result of submitting their info.

I know this has been posted many times before, but we need a real solution to allow for grouping by multi-select fields in a way that makes all records associated with at least that value shown in the value grouping. Yes, this might result in one record appearing multiple times in a grid view. Yes, that is desirable. Notion users know that this is much more intuitive and user-friendly than the way Airtable handles this behavior. --- Here's a real example for us: We do project planning in Airtable across quarters. Projects may span multiple quarters (multi-select field). There is no way to view all projects grouped by quarter where all Q1 projects are collected in a single group! As a designer, it boggles my mind that it behaves this way...

The gallery view is a really helpful way to visually explore a set of records by using large photos to represent them. Would greatly appreciate the ability to group items in the Gallery View by a field, similar to how Grouping is supported in Grid view. Right now, if I want to look at a subset of items as a group, I’m forced to make individual sorted gallery views, or look at items lost in a sea of other gallery items.

What is the proposed idea/solution? When inputting a form on Airtable, allow for progress to be saved on that form so that various users can contribute to one same form. How does it solve the user problems? When having forms filled in that requires info from multiple parties, it means multiple forms do not have to be filled in. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Everyone

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow Fields in Kanban Cards (either for Views or Interfaces) to be multi-line. See how a Trello Card looks like: See how packed the tags are and how much information is contained in 3 lines. Now see the same in Airtable for a Kanban Interface: See how the Tags Field is cut-off, not letting the user to see all the corresponding Tags. This issue applies to other potentially long fields such as Text or Formulas containing a concatenated text string. How does is solve the user problems? Currently, the only field type that supports multi-line is the Long Text. However, since the cards are small, any field with more than 4 words get cut off, and a user needs to get into the card details to understand what the card is about. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Trello users trying to switch to Airtable

So let me get this straight… everyone who uses Kanban view and actually sorts their records ends up seeing this same screen as the introduction to their view because AirTable won’t let people hide Uncategorized from view? Whose idea was that?
