At the moment the form only allows input of new data. Can we have a form for editing existing records? At the moment we can only edit in the table meaning I can’t present the records the way I want. Can’t even hide columns on mobile, meaning the users are free to wreak havoc on the existing data :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: ... View more

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. ...

Hi, I discovered Airtable just a few weeks ago and instantly fell in love with this application. It’s so cool! I am still new to it, but I’m learning so much. However, as a former Access user, I’m surprised it doesn’t feature almost any advanced rules for data input and validation in fields. I’m even more surprised that so very few people are asking for them. Data validation is important. For a solid database, it’s a core feature. Say I want to record a customer’s IBAN for money transfers. An IBAN always has exactly 27 characters; it’s not all right if someone by mistake inputs 25 or 28 characters or puts spaces into it. I need to set the IBAN field’s lenght to 27 characters and request that you fill out those 27 characters, not one less, not one more! Same goes for zip/postal codes, or tax codes. Validation rules are needed for such fields. A lot of stuff can get messed up if this kind of data is not recorded correctly, such as payments, shipments, fees. It’s a serious matter! Phone numbers and email fields should be validated, too, because they should not accept invalid characters. I should be able to set Date fields to accept only certain ranges of data. Such as: “you cannot input a delivery date that is before today”. I can’t even find such a thing as setting a field to “required”. Even though the application is fantastic, these shortcomings are a major kickback for Airtable. Please consider introducing these features, I’m sure many users will be grateful! As I said, I am new to the application so pardon me if I’ve said something wrong or I missed out on issues that have already been addressed. Love ️ ... View more

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! ... View more

Hello, I am using Airtable for project management. I am trying to shift some of our proposal generation to Airtable and see some promise with the Page Designer Feature. Just wondering – is it possible to generate multiple pages from a single record? Basically, for each job, I have several components that take up most of a sheet of paper. I need to have a summary table of work to be completed below that, along with terms and conditions. Our current proposals are 6 pages long using Microsoft Word Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? ... View more

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. ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Price per user rather than per Workspace - Or allow better organization, folders, etc within a Workspace.  We pay more per user on a Pro plan than we do for our CRM.  Yet if we want to collaborate with external parties we need to move the base to a free workspace due to the sharing limitations.  We are a small company and purchased pro for everyone - yet it is becoming a mess.  We cannot even segment visibility of bases within the workspace from some users, since everyone needs to be a pro for that workspace.   Enterprise is outlandishly expensive for small organizations.  We are willing to pay for the service, but the limits even on a pro plan are limiting our use and commitment to the product.

What is the proposed idea/solution? With the recent updates to the Airtable API being more featureful with Record Comments - it makes sense to also give some love to no-code Automation Actions, allowing an Automation to post to the Record Comments, either as an Automation or upon behalf of a specified user. How does is solve the user problems? Currently, for example, an Automation can use conditional logic to email an Airtable operator of an issue with a record. It would be useful if we had other options too, such as the Automation posting to the records comment detailing the problem with that record. Who is the target audience? Any firm using Record Comments will find a benefit from an Automation no-code Action that can also write to a records comments. ... View more

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? ... View more
