In Interface, user can only choose a value that already exists in a single select field. In some use-cases, I should be able to add a new value (as it exists when creating from the "Data" interface) It would be nice to have this option enable or not in the field parameters, when configuring the form in Interface.

What is the proposed idea/solution? I'd really like to see comments as an automation trigger. How does is solve the user problems? I recognize that Airtable has a feature to send email notifications to users, but those emails are NOT detailed enough. Our team constantly comments on task records that are linked to projects. The issue is that projects often have the same tasks, so it's not at all clear via the email what task/project combo users are receiving comments on. Allowing comments to act as a trigger, with option to use @tags and comment watching in the "to" field for the email action step would allow our team to customize comment notifications.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Other elements, such as Calendar, Timeline, Gallery and Kanban to act as Record Pickers, allowing for records to be clicked within the element, and their subsequent fields to be looked-up and displayed within the interface. Think of the way a Record Picker element behaves, and now apply that behaviour to the other Elements. When you think about a Calendar, it's showing records just like the record picker is showing records, just in a different visual format. Further to these mentioned elements, this same Record Pick behaviour should also be added to Linked Fields and Lookup Fields. How does is solve the user problems? The Record Picker is a very powerful element - but I feel it shouldn't have a monopoly over its specific functionality, and that the other elements such as Calendar etc would all benefit vastly from having this same ability. Who is the target audience? Anyone building and using Interfaces, where multiple tables are in play, typically at 3 levels deep - for example, Project -> (Task Dictionary) -> Task.

I’ve been using Airtable for a couple of weeks now and absolutely love the app. However, using it at night is blinding with all the white, so it would be great to have a Dark/Night mode similar to the dark Twitter theme or similar. Any plans for this on the road map?

We have an interface for our project management Airtable base, which shows project data filtered by a record list. As our base grows, the page has grown with it and is quite long, split into useful sections. I would like a way to hyperlink to different sections within the interface, like using div IDs and # hyperlinks in html. This could tie in to a standard button, as currently used for navigation to external URLs.

Is there any way to use link fields for kanban stacks. It appears that only single select fields can be used, but I would like to use a grouping field that is a lookup to another table. As a simple example, I have a location field, which is a lookup field to another table, defining locations. I would like to use that as the grouping field in a kanban view. It looks as though the only option I have currently is to duplicate the field with a single select field, and then find a way to keep both in sync?
Many thanks for any help
Neil

We have identified a critical need in the Airtable community for more flexibility when it comes to automation and instance limits. Many users, especially those on the Pro plan, are struggling with these limitations, resulting in bottlenecks and hampering their workflows. We propose an ad-hoc automation and instance limit enhancement to address these concerns. What is the proposed idea/solution? Our proposed idea is to introduce ad-hoc automation and instance limit enhancements for Pro users. This solution would allow users to purchase additional automations and instances as needed, without having to upgrade to the Enterprise plan. Users can maintain their current subscription level while still accessing the increased automation capacity they require for their workflows. How does it solve users' problems? By offering ad-hoc automation and instance limit enhancements, users can: Overcome the 50 automation limit that is currently causing bottlenecks in their workflows. Customize their automation capacity according to their specific needs, providing more flexibility and scalability. Avoid building their own software or switching to other platforms, as they can continue using Airtable with increased automation capabilities. Save costs by not having to upgrade to the Enterprise plan when they only require additional automations and instances. How was this validated? This need was validated through direct user feedback and community discussions, where many users have expressed their struggles with the current automation and instance limits. The demand for increased flexibility in automation capacity is evident, with users on the Pro plan actively seeking creative solutions to bypass these limitations. Who is the target audience? The target audience for this product enhancement includes: Pro users who have reached or are nearing their automation and instance limits and require additional capacity for their workflows. Businesses with unique automation requirements that might not necessarily require the full features of the Enterprise plan. Users who are considering building their own software or switching platforms due to the current automation limitations in Airtable. Conclusion: Introducing ad-hoc automation and instance limit enhancements for Pro users addresses a critical need in the Airtable community. This product idea not only provides increased flexibility and scalability for users but also ensures that they can continue using Airtable without the need to upgrade to a higher subscription tier or seek alternative solutions.

It would be a real game-changer — and totally awesome — if the column headers at the top of Airtable’s grid view would wrap lengthy field names onto multiple lines. Other spreadsheet programs allow for variable heights of the column headers — we should have the same capability in Airtable. Currently, Airtable cuts off the text of lengthy field names, but it’s our only choice if we want to keep our columns tight & narrow. If we want to see long field names, we are required to keep our columns extra-wide, which wastes a lot of screen space. Check out the screenshot below for an example of this problem. Notice how much wasted space there is, simply because we want to see the field names above. Our users often request descriptive field names so that they can understand exactly what they are looking at in the rows below. But descriptive field names end up making the column extremely wide. Yes, we could come up with some sort of abbreviation for the field names, but it’s nicer for our users to see the entire field name. Yes, our users could also hover our mouse over the field names to see the entire name in a tooltip, but that is inconvenient & it takes time for the tooltip to appear. In other words, what I’m requesting is either: The column headers should automatically increase their size vertically to accommodate longer field names. We should be able to manually change the height of the column headers. Thanks! 🙂 — ScottWorld, Expert Airtable Consultant

Pretty simple really. When grouping records in Views, my suggestion is to implement the option to group records by week, month, and year instead of solely by specific date. For example, if I’m tracking call records from sales calls, we monitor performance on a weekly basis. This feature is already available in things like Charts in Interfaces (and the Chart app), but at-a-glance grouping would be helpful too. Please and thank you!

What is the proposed idea/solution? Access to the relevant information instead of having to use the current group feature in interfaces. Keeps info on one screen rather than scrolling up and down between field groups. How was this validated? I regularly curse that I can't get my eyes on relevant info quick enough...too many clicks to get to what I need to see to make decisions or communicate. Who is the target audience? Interface users.
