In Form View (and in grid view also), we have some multi- and single-select fields. The selection options tend to be long, and some would need to wrap two lines of text to be displayed fully on form view. People using the form, can see the full option text of the selection by mousing over, but this is tedious as we have many long selections. It would be great, if when we create the field, we have the option to "Wrap Text." We realize this may mean that some of the checkboxes will have one line gaps between them, but that is OK with us. We prefer better customer usability. Screenshot image: Shows long text being cut off. "Add wrap text toggle option here" image: Where you can put the option to wrap text

PLEASE allow forms to open in the app! I like that the interface forms to create records open in the app, i don't understand why other forms cannot. Since airtable mobile website doesn't work well (you have to request desktop website) it is a massive PITA to complete a form on mobile device especially if you want to record WHO submitted the form (requires signing in). Since mobile browsers suck at keeping you logged in if you close out of your browser app, you have to constantly sign in and get the stupid message to get a magic link on your desktop.

Currently the form name and form header is the same. Having the option to create a form with an internal title and use another title for the header of the form would make navigating a lot easier, especially since we can't section interface forms.

It would be nice to optionally enable Clean URLs for Airtable pages. Currently, Airtable urls are basically a random string of characters that give no information on what is at the url. So if I shared an Airtable link with someone, instead of seeing something like https://airtable.com/appdfvokijweroiwdroikj/tbldfvolkfgvlmkvblk/viweiociokjwefn and have no information on what they are about to click on, it would be something like https://mycompany.airtable.com/my-awesome-base/my-great-table/grid-view

To whom it may concern, The recent development to all different dependency types and buffer for schedule dependencies in Timeline view is a great start to a long standing gap for schedule management with Airtable but there are still may improvements needed to make it more adoptable as follows: Make the attributes (Type and Buffer) part of the Date Dependencies configuration such that they are fields in Grid View, List View, etc. and not just accessed by clicking dependency line in Timeline view Update Gantt views to recognize the dependencies as valid Enable ability with Only Weekends (Mon-Fri) to allow specifically identified weekends as exceptions (Similar to how Holidays works to exclude but is an include) Enable ability to assign holidays to specific Users in the schedule (Currently we have a custom configuration which enables this capability but would be better if it is OOTB) Supporting Pics attached. Best Regards, Jason Knighten

What is the proposed idea/solution? Enable better capabilities to export data tables as a well formatted Excel file and enable ability to print Interfaces created from Blank Layout How does is solve the user problems? Users who want exports would be able to get better formatted exports than the current capabilities provide. How was this validated? Tested the current capabilities and found them lacking for some use cases. Who is the target audience? End Users

What is the proposed idea/solution? Delete View should have a "do you really want to do this" warning, and/or ability to recover when deleted. How does is solve the user problems? Would have prevented user from accidentally deleting a view when they meant to select Print View, or would have enabled them to recover the view when it was deleted accidentally. How was this validated? I tested delete view recovery, including CTRL-Z, and Airtable reports nothing to Undo. Who is the target audience? Und Users

To whom it may concern, It would be useful to have an Expand All and Collapse All navigation for List Views. This would be helpful as a visualization tool, especially when List View is used for Project Schedule and is standard functionality with other Project Schedule tools. Regards, Jason Knighten

What is the proposed idea/solution? Provide a toggle (or perhaps 3 state field/toggle) at top of Expanded Record UI which will show/hide groups of fields: 1) show/hide only editable fields 2) show/hide only fields with values Others have proposed ability to hide individual fields in Expanded Record view, but this can be done via hiding fields in views and Interfaces. I'm proposing 2 common use cases that would improve usability and save a lot of additional work required for workarounds. How does is solve the user problems? As tables get longer (more fields), it gets cumbersome trying to edit or read data for one record. Opening a record in Expanded Record view can be very long and frustrating when a) you just want to edit data, and/or b) have to scroll through lots of empty fields to find the data you want. Yes, you can create new views and hide certain fields (e.g., for showing just editable fields), but a) the # of views can get unwieldy as bases grow, b) these views that must be updated/maintained as fields change, c) this doesn't solve the 2nd case of dynamically hiding empty fields (similar to how DeDupe extension hides duplicate data). How was this validated? Every day use Who is the target audience? Everyone with records with more than a small number of fields and who use native UI (e.g., expanded records view)

What is the proposed idea/solution? Similar to Record Details pages, I would like the ability to include additional fields in the dropdown when selecting linked records in interface forms. How does it solve the user problems? I use unique ID's in the primary field, which makes it difficult to identify the appropriate record when selecting from the dropdown in interface forms. The ability to include other fields in the dropdown would allow me to select appropriate records without having another window open to map the ID's to my selection. This has already been implemented in Record Details pages, so I'm hoping it can be added without much issue (pictures attached). It would also save me from having to restructure my database. How was this validated? Everyday use Who is the target audience? Anyone using interface forms
