Would be great if you could add tabs for blocks since all blocks are shown on the same page and it’s a little hard to organize them. ... View more

I’d like to communicate how fields should be filled out. Field descriptions are a natural vehicle for that message, but they don’t display for shared form views. EDIT: this feature already exists via help text ... View more

I would like to request the ability to create if this then that like rules in a base. I like formulas but they can be hard to work with if your not a formula person and I would like to be able to change the state of one field based on the change of another. So I would like to change a records fields based on other fields in the same record, but also be able to change a record in a table based on the change of different record(s) in another table. Examples: When a task changes to “Need Reviews” THEN change the collaborator field to “John” When a new record is added to the view “For evaluation” THEN remove the linked record “Implementation” AND add the linked record “For Evaluation”. When a record is marked with “problematic” THEN notify Hannah When a deadline is within 7 days AND the record hasn’t been updated for that last 7 days THEN change the field “Needs your attention” to checked AND notify me. When the field A, B, and C is empty THEN change the status to “Incomplete” This would make sense for Airtable with their “build your own application” approach and mean that you could build great workflows. ...

Description I’m looking for the ability to prefill an entire form, existing up-to-date record in a table, based on the record_id only. Although I could share the URL with prefill_name the data can quickly become stale as many stakeholders will likely complete different pieces of each record. Research I looked through these and I don’t think this is possible. Will describe my use case below. Prefill linked record in form by record ID Can I prefill a portion of a form? Add Form Parameter Support (Pre-fill form fields) [SOLVED] Form : Prefill linked record field Use Case Ideally, we can complete some of the information (high-level) based on previous conversations with the customer where they share aspects of their workflow and softwares. We’ll then send the form to the project manager or main point of contact who will generally complete whichever information they have available. Then another person with the more applicable or technical information that will receive the form and be asked to finish out the remaining data fields. Expected Functionality append record_id to form URL: https://airtable.com/shrrEsbk27JT0jGYH?prefill_Name={unique_identifier} or https://airtable.com/shrrEsbk27JT0jGYH?prefill_id={record_id} Airtable retrieves record based on id/unique field Populate current record details into form Tell other would-be editors that the form is being edited by another user already Expected Issues This can cause merge conflicts with multiple editors. The workaround here would be to only let one person edit a record at once. New forms could be populated asynchronously, but updating records could be synchronous. Alternatively, we could append numbers to the unique name and allow the internal team merge together several editions of each record. e.g. Lighthouse Solar 1 completed by Sally (anonymous), Lighthouse Solar 3 completed by Jim (anonymous). Current Workaround It seems FormNano is an option to make this work, but doesn’t allow for all field types. https://www.formnano.com ... View more

Here’s the use case: The XLM of a blog post has multiple elements. When importing this XLM to Airtable, you can’t have a multiple-select column with all the hashtags in it. You have the first hashtag by asking for /hashtags[1] but you can’t assign /hashtags[1] and /hashtags[2] to one field in your Airtable sheet. Cheers ... View more

The current text formatting options in the long-text field are extremely useful - but for me there’s one thing missing - the ability to add tables. Example: we use Airtable to manage our product specification documents. Each time I issue a new version of a document I add a dated text entry to the document control diary. So, I have entries of Product Specs, Data Sheets, Safety Data Sheets, Labels etc all arranged in a long-form dated diary. It works fine, but means you need to scroll through entries to review. Tabulating changes to documents would make document review much easier. I could have a separate field for each document type - we tried it but it’s very clumsy and doesn’t work for us. ... View more

I’d like to suggest adding a feature where we can quickly acknowledge comments or activity of other users in the “Activity” sections of projects. Generally this is something like a thumbs up button where somebody can click on it as a way of simply letting the person who made a comment or any kind of post in the activity center know that they have seen their submission without needing to take the time to type out a comment informing them they have seen it. Thanks! ... View more
