This would require a toggle option to allow or deny this function in the form

This happens a lot: I create a view using a filter. I’d like to add records to the view. But I’ve lost the ability to see the filtered out records, so I can’t edit them without going to another view. Wanted: an affordance to let me see the filtered out records - inactive. I.e. they could be sorted to the bottom, greyed out. Then I could edit them and have them appear ‘active’ in the view.

Is there a way to send an email with the forms answers to a specific email address when a form submission is made, just like Google Forms does?

I work in film and video production. When I bring on a crew, I have them fill out a form which lists name, e-mail address, mobile phone, food allergies, scheduling conflicts, their production department, and their production title. The problem is, this information needs to be distributed into two different tables: One table holds name, e-mail, mobile phone, & food allergies-- that information tends to stay the same from production to production, so I keep that in a “master contact table” (which I also use as my general address book) Another table (the “Roster” table) holds the person’s scheduling conflicts, production department, and production title-- that information differs from production to production, so I don’t want to keep it in my master contact table because the same contact might work on different productions in different roles and I need to keep track of who did exactly what on each production. (Yes, I could just keep it all in the “Forms table” and try to manage everything with filtered views, but that would be unwieldy because each contact could be entered multiple times-- making it clunky as an address book) Because air table forms only allow information to go into a single table, I have to go through some crazy gymnastics in order to get the information from the crew form into the appropriate fields. Currently, I do this: I have a THIRD table, a “Forms” table which collects information for all of the fields. I have a Zap which 1) pulls the name/phone/e-mail/allergies info from the forms table into the master contact table (updating an existing record or creating a new record as needed) 2) copies the name/department/role/scheduling conflicts info into the rosters table 3) links the name record in the rosters table to the name record in the master contact table (and finally) 4) deletes the record in the forms table once all of the information has been moved into the correct place. This multi-step Zap costs $25/month. However, if I could create a form with field inputs from multiple tables (instead of being limited to my form only inputting information into a single table), I could save myself a lot of money and headaches.

I’d like to have form responses be already linked to my “clients” table - with the client pre-selected in the form. I know this can be done, however, it cannot be done without my client being able to see all of my other clients which poses as a privacy issue. Please create a feature that would hide all except the selected data.

When we were using Microsoft Access it had really simple Design View interface on a table to manage the table structure, ordering fields, adding new fields, setting the datatype etc. I’m not looking for all the same functionality but I’m reminded of it when using Airtable managing views on field-heavy tables. Managing the fields on these tables via the Hide Fields dropdown menu is slow and clumsy and my browser freezes when I’m pulling fields up/down the list. With the table view sprawling horizontally there’s too much lateral scrolling for what should be such a simple operation. The multi-select feature for fields made a bit of a difference, but being able to view the fields in a way that better utilises screen area would be a bit improvement for me. I would love to see a dedicated design view for an Airtable View. I’d take that over the Hide Fields menu any day!

Is there currently a way to show multiple color codes for each record on grid view? It seems somewhat pointless to just have the option to have a color code “alert” for one thing, even if there is a hierarchy for what color shows. I need to be quickly alerted of multiple things!

I have ended up with very wide tables (100+ col’s) that are hard to navigate in either grid view or as vertical tables. I would dearly love the ability to easily separate into separate tables on 1 to 1 relationship or group certain fields into a tab so as to get them out of the way. So instead of a huge vertical form view of a record, i see 6 or 8 different tabs, each tab containing groups of data - like, publishing attributes, acquisition attributes, sale attributes… these are all col’s of my data and it’s not easy to separate them out to separate sheets, yet it’s not easy to manage the data on wide tables either. basically, what i’m looking for are 1 to 1 relational sub records that can be displayed as tabs

I’m using the calendar view to program a conference and I love the drag-and-drop and drag-to-expand functionality. This is making a task I used to struggle through SO much easier. However these functions only support 15-minute increments – I can start at 9:00 or 9:15 but not 9:10 or 9:20. And I can make events last for 15 or 30 minutes, but not 20 or 40. I know I can set the time however I want once I click to open the event. I’m looking to be able to do this via drag-and-drop and drag-to-expand. thank you

In the web view, instead of opening a new record in the mini add format, please allow a user to have the option to open every new record in full record view - I never find the mini add useful, and would like the option to create records in the full record view format.
