We have “Description” texts for fields and views. They are displayed as tooltips for fields, and as a commentary in the views list. I suggest to add such “Description” field for each of the views settings: Hidden fields Filters Grouping Sorting Coloring Even sharing, why not. ... View more

Hi, I know there are MANY posts on the topic but my request is a mix of them aiming to make the whole linking super simple. We have an Airtable form on a website which populates a “Opportunities” table. One field is “email”. We have another table in the Base which is “Contacts”, that have an “email” primary key. We want the form to immediately link the Email that was recorded with either the existing Contact found in Contacts or create a new Contacts entry. Automatic linking would happen if in the form the “Email” question was a “Link to another table” field type. Of course, we don’t want to do this for privacy reasons: then anyone could look up the other existing emails. Plus there doesn’t seem to be the option in such form fields to “create a new entry”, only select existing ones. Currently, our very manual process is to add another column in the “Opportunities” table, “link to another table” type, next to the “email” field. Then go “copy-paste” each recorded email in that cell. When it matches an existing record it links to it, and otherwise this paste creates a new Contact in the Contacts table. What we would request is that a link between tables can be created directly from a form entry. There would be the choice in the Form editor either to have a “select existing entries” OR a simple text (or email) input field that then has the exact effect of the “copy-paste” step. ... View more

Using Airtable to plan out my day. I like this better than using Google Calendar or iCal since I can see the items as both a list and on a calendar. I can also have way more colors and categories without getting too complicated. Issue is that many of the items are 15 minute tasks and it’s hard to visualize when the tasks push each other to the side instead of stacking. I’d suggest that calendar view be customizable so the height shows X hours at a time. Then scroll can be used to see all the items within a day and no item needs to be pushed to the side because there isn’t enough height for the name of the item. ... View more

How can you customise the information on a calendar view? The calendar view doesn’t add as much as I hoped for us - it shows the name of the record and then if we click on that the name and the date. As our record names is a alphanumeric code - it doesn’t immediately provide value to us (we need to open the whole thing) - What I would like is to be able to customise the informaiton that shows up in a calendar and on click of a record in calendar (before i expand the record). Our use case here is that we deliver 1000s of workshops - i want a trainer name calendar so i can see at a glance which trainers are working on that specific day - within my workshops tab. Equally having the click on record show the location or client would be great. Frankly showing the datye is of limited value as I know that from looking at the calendar If this is already possible then i would love to know how - if not please add to roadmap ... View more

Love Kanban view but to make it really useful we need support for WIP limits and a definition of done. This could be handled the same way as tabs and columns Info is handled… ... View more

Hi All, Airtable definitely needs a way to change the record picker when using linked records from a synced table(or any table for that matter) or even allow a better search mechanism when picking those records. Right now you can search your linked records but not using any criteria of the lookup fields associated with them. Example would be that I have an Employee’s Full Names associated with an Employee ID #. When using the record picker, I can only search by the employee’s ID Number, No criteria matching that employee (First Name , Last Name). I have 250 IDs on file and have to add 20-50 records at a time with data. I cant memorize every employee ID. See Below trying to search with criteria shown in the record picker window I also just learned that if you use a synced table and change the view on that synced table it also changes all the data on ALL other tables that was attached to it. Example: I have employees directory that keeps track of Employee information specifically if they are active or inactive. I have that table synced to another base that keeps track of all employee time on jobs. I have around 8000 records and over 3 years of data. When I changed to synced table view to only show active employees, all of my inactive employees employee data from another table was lost. The record existed but the employee data had vanished. Around 3000 records were gone by filtering a shared tables data. ... View more

Related to this (# Changing Displayed Field in Calendar View and/or Display Value of Field ) topic, how about creating a View detection function that can be used in the Fomula function? I thought it would be nice to have this function so that the title could be changed depending on the view. ... View more

Hi there, In kanban view I would like to be able to click checkboxes to move the card to the next stage (automation). I have selected the checkbox field from the “customize cards” drop-down but only ticked checkboxes are visiable. Could you please update this so that empty checkboxes are visible when selected from customize cards. Thanks in advance Isaac ... View more

It would be helpful for repetitive data entry via a form if the new blank form “remembered” certain values from the last submitted values. Imagine taking inventory items in various rooms or containers. Instead of having to select that room or container every time you start a new form entry, it would save the user a lot of time if the previous room or container ID were persistent until changed. I envision a flag that can be set for each field when creating the form that indicates which fields will be remembered. Does this capability exist already? ... View more
