Within a base, when a user adds a new record from mobile, they have an option with an attachment field of taking a photo with their device (camera icon), selecting a photo from their device (landscape icon), or three dots to upload a file. To take or add a photo, it's one click. On an interface, when users are adding a record through a form, they don't have this option - attachment field shows a down-arrow icon with "Drop files here or browse". They then have to do one click on that button, then a click on the 3 lines menu, then click on Take photo, then click on "Click to record audio, video, or pick file", then "Photo Library" or "Take Photo or Video" That's 5 clicks (taps on mobile). I've already contacted Airtable directly about this, in November, and they said they don't have a timeline for improving this. Maybe a few votes here would help?

Some of my teams are going to be getting to the point of having 50+ bases soon.
Please can we make folders and subfolders within a team so that I can get them organised?

Proposed Feature: The feature I propose is the ability to limit the number of records displayed in interface components such as charts, lists, and grids. Specifically, this would allow interface creators to set a maximum number of records to be shown - for example, only the first 10 records in a given list or grid. This functionality would apply across various components used within the Airtable interfaces. Addressing User Needs: This feature is particularly useful in scenarios where only a subset of data is relevant for display. For example: Summarised Views: In instances where only the top-performing metrics or most recent entries are needed, this feature can help in creating summarised views without overwhelming the user with excessive data. Performance Optimisation: By limiting the number of records displayed, this can also enhance the performance and load times of interfaces, especially when dealing with large datasets. Focused Data Presentation: This feature aids in creating more focused and purpose-driven interfaces, where users see only the most pertinent information, tailored to specific contexts or needs. User Feedback and Market Trends: The demand for this feature stems from user feedback, where there's a clear need for more control over data presentation within interfaces. Observing market trends, many data management platforms offer similar functionalities, indicating a standard practice in data presentation and management. Implementing this feature would significantly improve the user experience by providing more control over how data is presented in interfaces. It aligns with the needs of users who seek more efficient and targeted ways to display data, especially in contexts where only a limited subset of records is relevant.

It would be very helpful to have a configuration that sets the default mode of adding a NEW record within a Grid View to be the Expanded Record view. Viewing data within a Grid View is awesome, but adding a new record inline within a grid view is not helpful. When entering many new fields, it's a better user experience to enter within an Expanded Record view. As it stands today, one must click the "Add Record" button and then click the "Expand Record" arrow to get to this view. This is not a good user experience. Allow the view to have a configuration that sets the mode in which new records are presented - either inline grid or expanded.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow a one-click "expand all" or "collapse all" on the Interface's Record Review's Record list sidebar, allowing easier viewing of records without the need to manually collapse/expand them. How does it solve the user problems? Ease and efficiency of use instead of doing it manually. How was this validated? Normal data view can do it, so the interface should be able to do so as well. Who is the target audience? Interface users who use Record Review.

What is the proposed idea/solution? In the Date field, would be nice to have more date formats, or the chance to write our own format, including day names, shortened months, invisible years/days, etc. How does is solve the user problems? Helpful for UX, legibility and general aesthetics. Who is the target audience? Anyone who uses dates in creative ways in their bases

Could you add a new data type for locations? Types of locations that would be useful are:
-Address (123 First St, City, State)
-Lat / Long (31.12345, -110.12345)
-Military Grid Reference System (11S NV 12345 12345)
This would be incredibly useful if the location is a hyperlink to a map (similar to how an address in the Long Text data field will open up in Apple Maps).
Additionally, if a list of locations on a table could be viewed in a single map view allowing the map to display all of the locations from the table.

I love using the Single Select (or Multiple Select) fields to add a pop of color to a table, and be able to see things at a glance. I also love how easy it is to change a Single Select field to a Linked Record field, and to automatically create a new table using the data from that field. But I don’t love that all my colors go away when I do this. I gain so much functionality, but lose the ability to see things at a glance. I know I can add a little colored stripe to the side of record based on certain conditions, but it’s not the same as the colorful pills in either Single or Multiple Select fields. What if there was a way to take the conditional coloring from one table, and use that to add color to that record when it appears in another table in a Linked Records field?

What is the proposed idea/solution? From the Admin panel, to have an option that disabled everyone that is not an admin from creating new Workspaces. How does is solve the user problems? The issue is that users in our organization create new workspaces, and this turns them into Owners automatically. Then, they are enabled to share access and provision higher licenses to other users, changing our billing. We have documented this issue internally, but our company has hundreds of users on Airtable. Employees join and leave the organization every month, meaning that it becomes unviable to rely merely on internal training. The tool needs to enable admins to protect the billing cycle. How was this validated? We see the issue every other month. Who is the target audience? Enterprise accounts

What is the proposed idea/solution? Create a field type that automatically populates the "Most Recent Comment" made on the record. How does is solve the user problems? Competitive feature of smartsheet. This also allows me to eliminate clicks to understand the "next actions" from the comments, but I can always go see the full running feed view when needed.
