Please make Page Designer easier to use!!! One page is not enough room for some of the outputs I need for my project The free-form aspect (no locking grid) makes it very hard to create fields that are consistent in shape and size you should have the option of automatically bringing in the field label instead of having to type the field name into a text box and align it with the field *Fields should dynamically hide depending upon criteria ...

I’d love a Block that generates a word cloud based on the data in both specific and multiple fields at a time. In a perfect world, you’d have the ability to exclude articles 🙃 ... View more

It seems the need for Airtable to have a system to prompt the user if a duplicate entry has been submitted would be a main requirement for users, particularly those using forms. For example, a user registration form, ensuring only a unique email had been used. I would imagine it would either be based on the primary column or even better, the option to tell Airtable which columns should not allow duplicate entries. At the moment I have to pay miniextensions over $400 a year just to have this function - a great product, but something I feel Airtable should include as standard. After-all, why should I have to use such plugins to achieve what I would deem basic requirements of a database type system like Airtable? 🙂 ... View more

Currently the search block does not match “partial match” queries. It should match plural form of words and have an option to match synonyms or possible misspellings. ... View more

I’d like a way to be able to test a change a formula field to make sure that the field behaves as desired before committing the change to a live production base. Right now, I’m making a change to a calculated status field that uses data from a bunch of different tables. The best way I’ve found to make sure I’m not screwing up the live data in the field with the change is to duplicate the entire base into a “beta” base to ensure that the relationships and data are good examples of the live data, test the change, and then make the change in the real base once I’ve got it working. I would love the ability to enter a sandbox mode in a base where I can experiment with changes and preview how the changes would affect the base without having to duplicate the entire base. Duplicating the entire base seems like overkill to test a change to a single field. The other issue I run into is that I sometimes test a bunch of changes in the test base and trying to remember what I’ve done and need to commit to the production base is difficult. I have a lot of Zapier integrations that use the production base which is why I can’t simply dupe and version the base like I would otherwise. Versioning the base in this manner would require that I update all the Zaps to the new base which would mean that I would have to re-create each zap from scratch once the new base is selected. ...

Hi, It would be great if there was an option to add totals to the various chart blocks. This can be useful for reporting. Please see the attached example: ... View more

When doing a lot of data entry in grid view, we often want to create another new record as soon as we’re done typing in all the field information for our current record. So the challenge is to quickly get back to the very first field again for our new record that we’re about to create. And ideally, without our hands ever leaving the keyboard. Currently, we have to hit COMMAND + LEFT ARROW on our keyboards to jump us all the way back to the first field again. This actually isn’t terrible, but it’s kind of unintuitive & a little bit of extra work for users to remember the keyboard shortcut and then execute on it. Ideally, once we’re in the very last field for a record, we would simply hit the TAB key one more time on our keyboard to cycle back around to the first field again. Then, we’re immediately ready to create our new record (by hitting shift-return), and we can immediately start typing in the first field! But currently, when we get to the last field, we can’t tab beyond the last field to wrap us back around to the first field again. When you try to tab beyond the last field, Airtable just stops you right there. It would be awesome if we could just tab one more time to cycle back around to the first field again! 🙂 Thanks! ...

I’m the primary builder of our team’s base, and I want my team members to feel more comfortable contributing records. In a single base, it would be tremendously helpful to have space in the GUI for adding documentation about specific base elements such as… individual tables - i would use this to explain the purpose of a table, identify the content steward, and highlight important linkages individual views - i would use this to explain to my team members why this view exists, list the URLs of where it’s embedded offsite, and things to consider before making changes columns - lower priority for me, but i could see this being useful metadata for users who consume data via API In the meantime, I’m adding an extra table for my base called “About this base” so that I can explain to my team what’s up with the various references and views AirTable keeps getting better and better. Huge fan here. You guys rock! ... View more

There are some feature requests here that can be generalized by this feature: Allow typed lists fields. That is, fields that are a list of values of some type. For example, multiple checkboxes, multiple urls, etc. Currently just a few types accept multiple values: selects, attachments and links to other records. Why not make this more consistent: every type can be single or multiple, that is a restriction on cardinality orthogonal to the type itself. I understand this is a bit at odds with modelling one to many relationships between tables, but it’s very convenient for simple fields (you already recognized it by providing multiple attachments and selects) and avoid having to cascade delete or removing orphans after deletion. ...
