I noticed recently when I set a color to be based on activity that comments do not count as activity on an entry, only editing the fields count as activity. Is there a way to make comments count as activity in formulas or other areas? Seems like commenting on something still shows some activity on the item vs having to change the content of the entry itself. ... View more

I know that Airtable is designed to be like the friendly and convenient corner store, not like an Amazon distribution center that uses metal detectors and employs armed security guards. I love that about Airtable. But the inability to shut the doors to this convenience store is, for me and my clients, a deal-breaking problem. I wish that any (or all) of the following were possible: Creator should have option to hide the share button for all non-creator users. If creators aren’t given ability to decide who can share/not share the base, then at least read-only users should NOT have the ability to share. When I think “read only”, I don’t think “read and make a copy for all your friends and let them make copies for all their friends…”. Finally, it needs to be possible to restrict users to using what they’ve been given. To this end, should be a privileges level just below Editors called perhaps “End Users”. End Users should be allowed to edit data in records but NOT edit locked views. That is, for End Users, the “create private view” button would disappear. William ... View more

I would love it if Airtable had a formula to determine whether a string (or field reference containing a string) matched a given regular expression. Google Sheets, for example, has the REGEXMATCH() function. It takes a string/cell reference and a regex, and returns TRUE or FALSE based on whether a match is found. This would be immeasurably useful. A couple ideas: Validate email addresses, phone numbers, URLs, IP addresses, and other types of strictly formatted data. Enforce record naming conventions. (Field isn’t capitalized? Doesn’t start with a number? Contains spaces? Output a warning in another special formula field!) Build filters with very specific rules. E.g. match URLs where a subdomain contains the word “blue”. (include http://blue.example.com and http://bluegreen.example.com, but not http://www.blueexample.com or http://example.com/blue.trick/) Some of these are possible now with complicated sequences of FIND, LEFT, MID, RIGHT, and LEN. It’s hard to debug formulas built this way, however. Regex is compact, easy to test, and comparatively easier to read. ... View more

I’d like to be able to create a calendar view that lets me choose both the date range and the other field to be used for the record name aside from the primary key. For example, let’s say I’ve got a calendar of students who are going to take their drivers’ license test, each taking it in one of several locations. In grid view, I could create a formula field to concatenate their name and the location of their test, then in calendar view, set their test date/time as the date/time field, and the formula field as the calendar event name field. So instead of just showing the student’s name, it shows the name and the location both in Airtable’s main calendar view, and in the iCal export feed. ... View more

I need to copy an attachment into another cell, but that cell already has a document that I need to keep, in addition to the one I want to add. If I drag the cell corner to copy, it overwrites the existing document in the next cell. ... View more

Love the new interfaces feature. It would be great if it were possible to add fields into groups or sections which are visible based on different criteria. For example, I’m using the interfaces feature to input data for different rooms / spaces. If I were to select one out of two rooms, the input boxes for the second room would become invisible. ...

When clicking on a record URL that shows up in the iCal feed of a table, it should directly lead to the Airtable app so we can edit the records directly. Now these links lead to a view where the records are non-editable. ... View more
