Our team really needs the ability to group fields together and visually display those groups, similar to adding an extra header row in Excel (example below). Benefits: Enhanced Visual Clarity: This feature will provide an improved visual understanding of the relationship between different fields, eliminating the need for users to check each field's description separately. Improved Organization: This feature will allow users to categorize and group related fields together, enhancing the data's structure and making it easier to navigate and understand. Personalization: By allowing users to change the color and title of the group, the feature adds a layer of personalization, making the data representation more intuitive and user-specific. Use Case Examples: Project Management: In a project management base, fields can be grouped together based on different project stages, team responsibilities, etc., enhancing the understanding of project flow and status. CRM: In a CRM base, fields can be grouped by customer details, interaction history, deal status, etc., providing a better overview of customer relationships. HR Management: In an HR base, fields can be grouped into "Applicant Details" and "Interview Status", making it easier to track the recruitment process. Event Planning: In an event planning base, fields can be grouped by event details, participant information, logistics, etc., enhancing the event management process. This feature, with its focus on improving visual understanding and data organization, aligns with Airtable's commitment to making data management more intuitive and user-friendly. Requirements Ability to create groups of related fields. Ability to assign individual fields to these groups. Ability to distinguish each group visually in both List and Grid views. Ability to display the name of the group in a master header above the respective grouped fields. Ability to personalize the appearance of these groups. Ability to change the color of a group. Ability to change the title of a group.

What is the proposed idea/solution? When creating a form view, it would be great to set a question's available linked records to be filtered based on a previous questions answer. For example, Q1 is to select a contractor or team from our list of contractors (linked record from a resources base). Then Q2 is to select a project to submit the form against, but ONLY show linked project records that are assigned to the contractor team in Q1 so that the team selected can only see and select their projects, not other teams projects as to only serve a limited list and ensure our teams don't make a mistake in project selection. How does is solve the user problems? Opens up additional use cases for form flexibility. Solves our problem of not being able to have a curated and limited selection list of projects for each team. How was this validated? We send a form weekly to our contractor teams that do work for our agency to submit their hours worked per project so we can calculate project costs, margin...etc. At the moment, the teams can select their name / team from the list to submit hours for, but when they choose a project to submit against, they see all the projects that are active instead of just theirs. This leads to mistakes in teams selecting the wrong project and submitting hours to the wrong records. I could create unique forms for each team separately, but that is tedious and not scalable in managing all of our resources to add / remove new forms for each new team. I'd like one form that can serve up a curated list of linked records dynamically based on the answer to a previous question instead of a hard coded logic filter. Who is the target audience? ...

We would love for there to be a way to customize the calendar view in a way that would allow us, for example, to track events (records) that are occurring simultaneously across various locations (dropdown field). Kind of like how you can see various Google Calendars side-by-side (which was the workaround we used this year via Zapier). A more specific breakdown of what we're looking to do is as follows: - The ability to create sections within the calendar view based on a dropdown field within the Table. Since we're hosting events across various venues throughout the day, it's vital that we see every event side-by-side, split up by venue to ensure there's no overlap. - When choosing to add other date fields to pull from, it'd be great to be able to customize what information goes into those additional date fields instead of AirTable just expanding the main record. Example: Each event (record) has an introduction, Q&A, and turnaround time. If there was a way to have the calendar show those different start/end times separately, and if we could choose what areas from that record are highlighted, that would be ideal.

We're trying to use Airtable forms to track customer leads for conversion/remarketing ad campaigns, but confirming a form submission is very difficult. We currently redirect to a confirmation page on our site that fires conversion tracking tags, but because the redirect delay is so long we're worried prospects will close the page before they activate those tags. When building a form, we'd love options to: Set the redirect delay time (including the option for no delay) Customize the redirect page text/design (so it can show a message that's more engaging than just the redirect URL)

Within a base, when a user adds a new record from mobile, they have an option with an attachment field of taking a photo with their device (camera icon), selecting a photo from their device (landscape icon), or three dots to upload a file. To take or add a photo, it's one click. On an interface, when users are adding a record through a form, they don't have this option - attachment field shows a down-arrow icon with "Drop files here or browse". They then have to do one click on that button, then a click on the 3 lines menu, then click on Take photo, then click on "Click to record audio, video, or pick file", then "Photo Library" or "Take Photo or Video" That's 5 clicks (taps on mobile). I've already contacted Airtable directly about this, in November, and they said they don't have a timeline for improving this. Maybe a few votes here would help?

It would be very helpful to have a configuration that sets the default mode of adding a NEW record within a Grid View to be the Expanded Record view. Viewing data within a Grid View is awesome, but adding a new record inline within a grid view is not helpful. When entering many new fields, it's a better user experience to enter within an Expanded Record view. As it stands today, one must click the "Add Record" button and then click the "Expand Record" arrow to get to this view. This is not a good user experience. Allow the view to have a configuration that sets the mode in which new records are presented - either inline grid or expanded.

I love the new forms interface, and I am glad it finally made it in the navigation bar. Now if you could please allow for forms in that view to be segmented into sections that would be amazing. Currently only allows to add new forms to the list, but there is no add section in the Form View column.

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 am trying to create a company budget database where all the accounts are in the main table (grid view), but some of them are subaccounts of other accounts (and others are sub-sub-accounts, etc.). All the parent/child relationships are between records in the same table. How do I display the data where the sub accounts are indented under their parent records and can roll up at each step of the hierarchy, if desired (including a calculated sum field) For example, 100 Personnel Costs ($250K) <-- This is a calculated roll-up from subaccounts 110 Salary & Wages ($200K) 120 Healthcare ($50K) 200 Facilities ($65K) <-- Calculated 210 Rent ($30K) 220 Maintenance ($20K) 230 Exterior ($15K) <-- Calculated 231 Grounds ($10K) 232 Signage ($5K) etc.... It would be nice to roll up the budgeted amounts for each subaccount into a field in its parent account. I tried the List view type, but that requires a relationship between records in two different tables.

Really. We need a form or an addition to the current form that allows for editing a current record as opposed to only being able to add a new record. I should be able to send a client a form that they can find their record in and update their data and not have it create a completely new record. Please. I hate that I've had to resort to paying another company in order to do this.
