It would be very useful if the mobile Airtable app would allow us to create a shortcut icon on our phone homescreen. That way, one tap would open a specific view in a particular base. Since I have created more than one base with several tables and numerous views, I currently need to concentrate when navigating to the required view, requiring four taps. Only a few of my views are meant for on-the-fly viewing/editing (on my iOS phone), so selectively creating shortcuts would be a very welcome feature. ... View more

Functionality: Color the tab for the table within a base based upon some condition, preferably a check of the data within a column. Example use case: Say you have a column with a checkbox that says verified. You want the table tab to be colored red if any of the rows within the table are not checked as verified. More advanced example use case: You are using linked records. You usually look at the main table Table A which has a linked record field linking to Table B. Another user is periodically adding data to Table B, but you manage Table A. As you know when you link A to B, a column is populated on Table B showing the link. You want to make sure all the rows in Table B are linked in Table A. So you set a formula to turn the tab for Table B to red if it has any unlinked rows, i.e. any record on Table B has an empty field for the column automatically generated when you create the Linked Record field on Table A. ...

I have a large base that uses about 100 different views, filtered to allow password-protected access to different records for different people. Whenever I make changes to the “master view” (which is fairly often) I then need to copy the configuration of this into each individual view separately. Is there any way to do this “in bulk”, all at once? That would be great! ... View more

Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before, if it has I don’t see it. It would be useful if I could have single select fields have coloured options in grid view but not in a form. Rationale: If I am running a survey where I would like to be able to spot certain selections easily or Red/Amber/Green answers in Grid View - I don’t want them to appear this way to the person inputting data on the form as to bias the results. Thanks ... View more

There have been a number of requests and discussions around custom scripting solutions pertaining to this feature. I figured I would roll this request into a new thread and update the language in the title to potentially make it easier to find for anyone searching the forums looking for this type of feature. I would love to be able to click a button from a button field and have it immediately start the timer for that record in the timer block. There is an older suggestion here that came before the button field feature existed so does not mention those. There are also a couple great looking custom scripts by @Justin_Barrett here and @kuovonne here, but in addition to these I think there are still use cases for the timer block. Curious if others would like to see this too! ... View more

Please remove sorting as a default requirement for creating groups. It seems totally unnecessary, and is problematic. Why does the Group function require sorting? If I create, say, 100 entries in 10 categories, why can’t I group them by category in the order I entered them? Currently, AT automatically orders them alphabetically, with my only options being A-Z or Z-A. Alphabetical ordering is often completely inappropriate to the content! This means I have to do a clunky workaround by creating an artificial numbered column just to get them to stay in the correct order. The Group function and the Sort function should be wholly independent. Please fix. Thanks! ... View more

I’m really enjoying using airtable. I’ve been using dapulse but i find airtable much more versatile. currently if i want to edit a field, i have to click once to select/focus on the row, then click again to edit/modify the field. It would be great if there was an preference option to just click once to edit the field, inferring that where my mouse is is the row i want to edit. Specifically “single select” enum fields. i found that this contributed to a huge sense of ease and responsiveness that I felt when using dapulse, and that would go a long way for myself and my coworkers. it would mean doing same amount of work in half the number of clicks, which is from a pleasure-to-use pov huge. ...

Here’s the real life problem I’m running into. We have an Airtable base to manage our marketing messages and marketing campaigns. Messages are linked to a campaign. Because our company has multiple brands, I want to limit the campaign record selection to those that have a matching brand to my message. Here’s my feature request: I would like to have the “Limit record selection to a view” to allow conditions based on the record I’m linking from and linking to. For example, If the {Brand} field in the Messages table equals {Brand} field in Campaigns table, show those records. This would allow different records to be available for selection based on the record it’s being linked to. What do you guys think? How do these ideas turn into reality? ... View more
