Please create an option to turn off the “+add new record” button in the linked record field. Some of the users of our databases are opting to create a new record instead of searching to see if the record already exists. As a result, they end up duplicating the records. In our case, the linked field is a list of companies so we end up having multiple records for the same company. ... View more

SendGrid block is a great feature which we unfortunately cannot use as it is now. It has been mentioned here several times (without response from developers) that formatting is crucial for any emails that are intended for customers. It is OK to have plaintext notifications for ourselves, but if we communicate with a client it produces very poor impression and we have to use other tools to send emails. In our case we just send confirmation of entries to our students with short instructions how to find us and what documents to prepare. Of course, ideally it would be nice to be able to attach images and documents, but even simple HTML or markdown will be enough for start to highlight important information with bold/colored font and make links to files readable. At the moment it looks like a mess of text and long links to google drive. I’ve tried to use HTML formatting in the email body, but of course it failed. We’ve created a view that filters relevant entries based on student’s status and we are just 2 clicks away from sending confirmations via SendGrid. But without reasonable formatting we now have to copy-paste the email addresses into another mail service window. Can Airtabe team tell us if we can expect at least basic formatting in SendGrid block in the observable future? Many thanks! ... View more

It’s cool that you can manually click and drag to reorder records. But what if you want to temporarily apply an automatic sort, and then go back to your manual sorting? As far as I can tell, you would need two separate views to do this–and if you ever accidentally applied sorting to the manually sorted view, you would lose your manual sorting forever. Using two separate views isn’t ideal for me because I already have a lot of views and for my needs this would effectively double that already large number of views. And the risk of permanently losing my sorting makes it not really seem worth it. What I propose is some sort of ordenal sorting field… Essentially it would be the same as the numbers that currently appear on the far left in grid view, except that if you applied an automatic sort, those numbers would stay with the same record. So if you had: 1 A 2 C 3 B and you resorted it alphabetically, you would have: 1 A 3 B 2 C instead of 1 A 2 B 3 C Then, if you want to go back to the original order, you just sort by the ordenal field. Of course if there is already a better way to do this, please help me find it. ... View more

It would be nice if Airtable added a “click to call” formatting for phone numbers. That way if you use Skype/Teams or another service you can simply click the phone number you want to call. The mobile app allows it, so not sure why we can’t have on web app. ... View more

I like the send record function (select records - right click - send record), however it would be nice if you can send from your email (instead of the default noreply@airtable.com) so people can respond to the email. Any intentions to adding this? Thanks. ... View more

We have the ability to increase row height, Airtable is a mature software at this point, why isn’t there the ability to either increase the column title height or Wrap for Column titles. The base ends up way to long left to right with way to much scrolling. ... View more

I am working on a database for a company that wants to track their projects. We have a status field and would like to have the status set to a default when a new record is created via a form I made. In the real world, they get a call from a new client and would like to input their relevant data into the database with a simplified form. This is critical as the client is on the phone with them while they are in the database and looking at a sea of fields is not realistic, hence the form. We started this database to help reduce the workload, double entry, keeping tabs on projects, etc. So far we have found ways to fill these needs. Another way that would help is a default value in a Select or Multiple Select Field. This way I can hide the status field on the form and it is one less thing the call handler has to fill out while talking to the client. Come to think of it, more then a couple of single select fields in our base could benefit from a default value… ... View more
