In Gallery View, you can customize what attributes of any given record show up on the card. In Calendar view, you just get the name of the card. I’d like to be able to, when you click a record in calendar, see a couple other attributes of my choosing with having to fully expand the record (some of these records have a LOT of attributes, and I only need to see one or two specific, consistent ones in calendar).

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

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...

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?

It would be great to be able to add labels (plain text) and read-only fields (to be able to prefill them) in the forms. Is anything planned in this direction?

Being able to keep paperwork for a nonprofit on Airtable is great. However, a lot of our forms require signatures. It would be great if Airtable provided this feature. If anyone knows a simple integration for this please let me know!

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allowing forms to create NEW linked records, rather than only allowing to select from a list of already existing linked records. In other words, the ability for a form to have its Parent form submission, and one or multiple Child form submissions (for the linked records). See Fillout's solution as an example. Dummy scenario: If I want to submit information for a Family (Family table) and for the members of the Family (Members table) which can be one or multiple, I would not be able to do this from only one Airtable Form. I would need to submit one form for the Family information, and separate forms for each Member. How does is solve the user problems? Would avoid having to integrate different softwares, build dirty automations, or handling re-directs, just for the sake of creating linked records. How was this validated? This issue comes up with plenty of my clients, multiple questions have been asked on the Community on how to handle this, and it has been a topic of discussion with fellow builders and consultants. However, I'm not sure whether it has been actually submitted as a "New Idea"/Feature Request (if it was already, I'm super sorry -however it might be useful to bring it up again!). Basically, Airtable forms do not allow to create NEW linked records from the form itself (i.e. we can currently only select from a dropdown of already existing linked records). There are obviously several different workarounds such as: (i) using other form softwares (e.g. Fillout which I really love, but is still a pain to need additional integration just for this); (ii) handling the creation of new linked fields from interfaces rather than forms (i.e. would mean treating the interface itself as a pseudo form); (iii) having temporary fields on the main table which are only used to push data via an automation for the creation of the linked field (super dirty solution which I would almost never recommend); and (iv) others. However, all of those solutions are far from ideal. Who is the target audience? Airtable users who need to capture information via forms for a base with multiple linked tables (I'd say almost every Airtable user). Thanks!!

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow users to add a new record on another table through a linked field, when inside a form. How does is solve the user problems? Currently, in a form a user can select a record from a linked field, but they cannot create a new record through that linked field. This would be very helpful for instances when a new record needs to be added and you want to give that ability to the user. How was this validated? Not sure what "How was this validated" means... I found the issue because I wanted to create a new record from inside of a form, but I didn't have the ability to. Who is the target audience? Form submitters
