Is there a way to easily setup and use “constants” across an entire Base? For instance, the price of oil per barrel might be 40. I have a lot of formulas that depend on that price. In addition, I might have several numbers like this that need to be referred to from multiple formulas - for instance the /mile that the IRS accepts for the mileage deduction, the number of tons of gravel contained in a gravel truck, etc. The advantage of the “constants” is that, if the price of oil changes, I need to change just one number in one place; I don’t have to hunt through tons of formulas looking for a hard-coded “40” in the formula. However I can’t seem to figure out how to easily setup constants in AirTable. Right now I’m sticking them all in a “Constants” table, with each row having just “Name” and “Value”, where Name is something like price_of_oil_per_barrel and Value is 40. BUUUT … referring to these constants is A PAIN …any referring Table first needs to add a link to my “Constants” table, and then tediously create a new linked Field for each value that I want to refer to in any formula in that Table. So if there are 11 constants that I’m going to use in formulas in a single Table, I’ll need to link to11 fields (then possibly hide them…). Is there an easier way to do this? ... View more

The form view on Airtable currently doesn’t support prefilled hidden fields. Being able to receive input for hidden fields would be very helpful. Being able to receive this input in various ways would be even better. Ideally, you would be able to assign values to hidden fields either: by query argument (e.g., ?_prefill=foo), by view (i.e., configured via Airtable for all submissions of the form in question), or both (using both methods on the same form view) The only way to gain this functionality at the moment is through integration with a third-party web form service like Typeform or Jotform, which while effective, is both a hassle and implies an extra subscription fee. ...

One of the biggest feature of AirTable is internal link between records. But I missed for years a very (no so) simple feature : links for RichText fields. As a NoteTaker, when I add a record with a RichText fields I want to hotlink an other record picked from a sub set of table in order to have quick access to it. It’s convenient for Rich Tect Field It’s convenient when a dedicated column won’t fit the design A basic use case is note taking like Roam: Roam Research Roam Research – A note taking tool for networked thought. As easy to use as a word document or bulleted list, and as powerful for finding, collecting, and connecting related ideas as a graph database. Collaborate with others in real time, or store all your data locally.     When you write a Note (aka large rich text) you need to link internal records in order to mind map correctly your thought. Of course, tags, caterories, etc … will be side columns ... View more

Hi Airtable. I’d like the ability to override the contents of formulae-text cells with text of my own. I most commonly use this for record titling/naming. We use Airtable as a meeting/diary manager. So if we put in the people who attend, the formulate title could be “Roger meets David”, but we could override that title to become “Financial Planning Meeting 3”, say. You can think of it as “overriding” or as “defaulting” but the point is that there are lots of time when i want formula-based default titles which can be changed to something else later. ...

Hi there! would be nice to have an option to enter the current date as a default in a date field, that would save some taps on mobile devices for data entry. ... View more

Please add better default display options to Kanban cards. The current options are very limited, and the default display makes terrible use of space. This is specially applicable to Task based cards with no image or attachment associated. For example, my default display can only displays 2-3 words in the card title (see image below). This makes it very hard to have a broad view of tasks without having to click on each one individually. By contrast, Target Process resolves this by wrapping titles and making better use of space (see image below). IMHO this is major limitation of the Kanban view that largely renders it useless. ...

It would great to have a way to search and jump to a header. Command + F only allows searching through the records. It would be great if there could be a Command + Shift + F to search the headers of the table and jump to it. This is especially a pain point when there are 300+ fields. Thanks ... View more

It would be great to flag a field for word wrap in the grid view like in Excel. Similarly it would be nice to be able to wrap column headers to 2 or 3 lines. I quickly run out of horizontal space and then have to scroll. ... View more
