What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow individual rows to expand to fit long text (like "wrap text" in Google Sheets) or at least to fit MORE long text. How does is solve the user problems? Sometimes I want to skim my data (in my case customer emails), but I can't do so when I have to click into each individual record when long text fields get cut off (even when height is set to "Extra Tall"). Clicking into each record is a big time suck. Who is the target audience? Any Airtable user with long text fields, but specifically bases with customer emails.

What is the proposed idea/solution? We need the ability to make more robust charts in interfaces. How about bringing something like the vegalite extension to interfaces? PLEASE How does it solve the user problems? Basic visualizations like overlaying a line and bar chart can't be done, but vegalite can do things like that and much more. Who is the target audience? Anyone who wants to have robust data visualization in their interface

What is the proposed idea/solution? Our interfaces are growing ever more complex, longer and more difficult to handle. Two things that would make life much easier: Being able to create sections (visual containers) that can be collappsed and unfolded. Conditional visibility of these sections and individual fields (like in forms) How does is solve the user problems? This would help us to only show the fields and sections needed for specific cases or situations based on conditions that we can define, similar to conditional fields in forms.

Right now it looks like you only support a single level version of a pivot table. It would be great if you could support multi level, i.e. rows by assigned collaborator, and by deal stage(basically getting deals per assignee per stage)

It is a wasting of time to select linked record in a field one by one.
For example if I want to pick attendance from a table of students I have to click ADD in the form and I can only select ONE linked record and then click again (!) ADD and select the second student, etc.
Please let select more record (with checkboxes near the record, or with selection color, etc.) AND THEN click on a button (“DONE”).

It would be very useful to have some basic formatting tools for the forms.
Things like horizontal dividers, section titles and control over spacing and grouping of fields.
More advanced things would be even better :slightly_smiling_face: - like tabs, accordion sections, custom fonts (Google, Typekit).

Hello, The automation fields don’t currently allow calculations in fields. For example, I want to create an automation that pulls the date from a selected record and adds or subtracts a number of days from that. It would be a very useful feature to automate some project tasks without having to manually enter the dates. I’m giving an example with dates but automation would be largely enhanced if we could use formulas in fields. Thank you.

We use the page designer block to create reports on customers and projects and love this functionality. However the usability of the block is severely limited by the fixed field size of each element. It would be great if field size would by dynamic to match the content of the underlying report (e.g. tables to be sized to show the number of related records, free text fields to be sized to fit the text) so that we can be confident that ALL data is displayed.
