In the comments in any airtable record it would be good to have attachment option so users can post pics, videos, files, leave an audio message, video message, etc.

What is the proposed idea/solution? To have the tab name displayed at a convenient location How does is solve the user problems? Will be easier to start using features to make changes to the table How was this validated? By checking manually - searching table that I needed and not able to find the tab name Who is the target audience? All

What is the proposed idea/solution? Now to filter field you need to: 1) Press field title, 2) move cursor down, 3) press Filter by this field, 4) choose value(s) from drop list. That's really a lot of moves when you need to filter by a few such fields! My idea is add a possibility to filter single select/checkbox and other fields with single select property immediately by visible value: in some record you see a needed value by which you want to filter and: 1) press right button on value (goes to function menue), 2) press a line called something like "Filter by this field+value". Thats all! It adds filter by choosen field and value. How does is solve the user problems? Make filtering single select/checkbox and other fields with single select property much faster and easier How was this validated? By making a lot of unnecessary moves while filtering multiple fields. Who is the target audience? Everyone who uses single select/checkbox and other fields with single select property.

What is the proposed idea/solution? The proposed solution is to introduce a feature in Airtable's Kanban view that allows users to manually reorder columns when using linked fields, just as they can with single-select fields. This would involve a drag-and-drop functionality where users can click and move columns into their preferred order, rather than having them automatically sorted alphabetically. How does is solve the user problems? Currently, users are limited by the automatic sorting of columns when using linked fields in Kanban view, which can lead to a less intuitive workflow and makes it harder to organize tasks effectively. By allowing manual reordering of columns, users gain the flexibility to arrange their Kanban boards in a way that best fits their workflow and priorities. This would improve the usability of Kanban views, particularly for teams working on complex projects that require customized task organization. How was this validated? The need for this feature has been highlighted by user feedback and the limitations experienced by teams who frequently use linked records in their Kanban views. The idea builds on existing functionality (manual reordering for single-select fields), so it’s a natural extension of a proven feature. While there may not be formal studies validating this specific solution, it is grounded in practical user experience and the need for greater customization in Airtable. Feedback from the Airtable community, including forums and support channels, often reflects a desire for more control over how data is displayed and managed, validating the importance of such a feature. Who is the target audience? The target audience includes Airtable users who rely on Kanban views for project management and task tracking, especially those using linked fields extensively. This feature would benefit teams and individuals looking for more control and customization in their project management processes. It is particularly relevant for users managing complex projects with multiple linked records where the ability to organize columns manually would improve workflow and visibility.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Would love if we could add in a personalized onboarding flow for users in the interfaces we're building. Ex. Be able to add in lightboxes that say "What's this?" for new features or if it's the first time someone is opening a base a step by step flow showing what fields are important in the interface. How does is solve the user problems? A lot of user training and documentation has to be created outside of Airtable to help our users understand what is going on in the tool. Looks like an opportunity to Airtable to take part of that documentation process. How was this validated? Personal experience in creating documentation processes and having to screenshot Airtable interfaces to basically do this manually in Miro. Who is the target audience? Interface users and those building interfaces for their organization.

I'd really love to see some better handling of photos that are added to attachment fields, particularly outside of Gallery views. Far too often a photo's dimensions don't allow a good preview either in a grid view or the expanded record detail view, and the only way to see the full image is to open the attachment or to rely on a Gallery view. It would be really great if you could tell it to fit photos, just like in Gallery view, elsewhere; this would give a better experience with uploaded photos inline.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Having a field permission were Nobody can edit the field if the field is anything other than blank How does is solve the user problems? The field can be accidently overwritten but still needs to be able to be set How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? all users who want to protect the fields once they are set

Create a toggle button for multi and single select fields to not allow new select options to be added by an Editor that creates records. We would like to allow Editors the ability to add records but not add rogue field options, which is hurting our data that we want to track. We do not want to grant them any higher access to be a Collaborator. Current state, we are spending a lot of time to continually re-train the users to not add in rogue select options. This toggle button option should carry through the CSV Import Extension so no button appears for users to try and add in missing options.

Hi everyone, Pello here from Moonland. As an Airtable Gold Partner, we’ve had the chance to build some pretty sophisticated tools in Airtable, like full ERPs and other complex systems. While we’ve been able to do a lot, there’s one feature that’s still missing that I think could help us build the perfect app: conditional pop-ups. What is the proposed idea/solution? The idea is to introduce a feature in Airtable that allows users to create and trigger conditional pop-ups when a button is clicked. These pop-ups could be customized to display warning messages, confirmation prompts, or any other relevant information before proceeding with an automation or action. How does it solve the user problems? This feature would enhance user experience by adding an extra layer of interactivity and control within Airtable. It helps prevent unintended actions by allowing users to confirm or review their choices before triggering potentially irreversible automations. This can be especially valuable in complex workflows where a simple mistake could lead to significant issues, such as data loss or incorrect processing. How was this validated? The need for this feature has been observed in various user scenarios where preventing accidental triggers is critical. Many users currently have to create complex workarounds or additional fields to mimic this functionality, which can lead to confusion and inefficiency. By implementing native pop-up functionality, Airtable can streamline these processes and reduce the need for such workarounds. Who is the target audience? This feature would benefit a wide range of Airtable users, particularly those managing complex workflows, such as project managers, product developers, and anyone using Airtable for tasks that involve critical or sensitive actions. It’s especially useful for industries like software development, inventory management, and any scenario where automated actions need to be carefully controlled. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this idea. We’re always looking for ways to improve the tools we create, and your feedback could really help. Thanks for reading this post! Pello
