Two product suggestions for the CSV Import Block: If our CSV file has a field in it that doesn’t already exist in our Airtable table, the CSV Import Block just completely ignores that CSV field. However, it would be great if the Import Block gave us the option to create new fields for any new fields that it finds in the CSV file. Please allow us to import fields into Long Text Fields, even if Rich Text Formatting is turned on. Currently, it’s a real bummer that the Import Block can’t import fields from a CSV file into a Long Text field, if the Rich Text Formatting option is turned on for the Long Text field. CSV files NEVER have any rich text formatting because they are simply plain text files, so I’m not sure why it would be a problem to simply import plain text into a field that has RTF enabled on it. As it stands now, the only way to import CSV files into a long text field is to turn OFF the RTF formatting option in Airtable — but then we lose all of the previous formatting that we had applied in that long text field. :frowning: ...

Hello Airtable Powers that Be! Please consider the option of adding Conditional Coloring on top of a Single Select Field Coloring scheme. Below are two use-cases that seem like simple leaps from the current mode of operation: I often want to supersede the single select color field, but only under a set of conditions. Otherwise, the single select field is the perfect color scheme. Imagine two single select fields: (1) Description, (2) Urgency/Priority/Status. I often color records by the description, but want to supersede that color when the Urgency goes to “High”. Also, please note that for me the current coloring of records in grid view is not very useful. However, when integrated with the blocks like the Gantt block ,flowchart block, or calendar view, they become indispensable. Thank you!! ... View more

I would LOVE to see a black/gray “Dark Mode” option, at least for web-embedded tables. While Airtable’s super-friendly and happy UI is a HUGE selling point and greatly appreciated by our desktop users, we’re working on deploying a 4K TV-based Status Board, and in such a context, the brightness of the native Ui is jarring. I could also see a Dark Mode being useful on iOS, if for no other reason than battery-preservation. And of course, “Pro Users” always like a dark option. Specifically in regard to embed views, might there be a way to style the colors via CSS? Thanks for your consideration, A. ... View more

While the ‘limit record selection to a view’ feature exists, it doesn’t solve my problems. It would, however, if field order and visibility were retained. Problem Linked Records currently display all of a record’s fields. And the order of those fields is determined by the top-most view in the view list for the linked record’s table. None of this amounts to a very customizable solution for bases that make use of multiple linked record columns for a particular table. For example, here is a view: In another table, I have a linked record column with ‘limit record selection to a view’ set to the above view. And yet, all of those hidden fields are visible: Workaround Instead of creating linked record columns, you can generate links to records - which can be associated with a given view. For example: Table A record_id (formula) Table B table_a_record_id (lookup) table_a_record_link (formula)* * table_a_record_link formula: “https://airtable.com/” & {view ID} & “/“ & {table_a_record_id} The ‘view ID’ can be copied from a given table view’s web address. Problems with the Workaround It requires some tech knowledge to implement The link opens up in a new window Links are ugly ... View more

Quite surprised to discover today that Airtable doesn’t offer basic image editing tools such as rotate or crop. We took a bunch of photos on an iPhone directly into Airtable iOS and the perspective is sideways with no option to correct. Only solution at the moment according to the below Airtable support article is to download the file, correct, and then reupload which is a hassle. Can I edit images in Airtable? ... View more

Hi, Please enable users to choose colors of tables from hexadecimal codes, thank you! Airtable only provides ten or so color options, some of which are hard on the eyes. It would be much better if we could choose, and this should be a simple implementation. Thanks! ... View more

Hello, I am trying to filter records by a lookup field. I want all the records that contain that specific item, and only those items. However, because the filter options are only “contain,” “does not contain,” “is empty,” and “is not empty” AND because some of my items are contained with each other (“Technical Director” and “Assistant Technical Director”) I cannot filter the way I want to. For example, if I select “contains Technical Director” that pulls up records with both Technical Director and/or Assistant Technical Director. I can’t filter out “Assistant Technical Director” records because that Wouldn’t it be fantastic if the filter terms for lookup records were the same as the filter terms for multiple choice? Then you’d have so much control! ... View more

This would be HUGELY helpful. An example scenario is this. You have a list of clients in a table, complete with email addresses. When you select a particular client, that email address is fed into the Embed block URL which happens to be a Gmail search for that particular address, effectively showing you message history for that client. Allowing for dynamic URLs to be used for the Embed block in this way would be fantastic & could have so many other uses! ... View more

Consider having the following in an interface: Timeline element AND Record picker or record review list Request I think it would be very practical, on the timeline element, to have a configurable option that when an element is clicked, it would link with the record picker or record review selected item. Concrete example: I have a list of tasks to reviews and a timeline at the top showing all the due dates for the filtered tasks. Under the timeline is the details for the selected task (from the list). This would allow for direct switch of the details by using either one of the list of tasks or the timeline itself. ...
