I wonder why Airtable doesn’t have the basic feature to select the same option multiple times from the linked records. ... View more

I would absolutely love to be able to add an external data source (RSS, XML, CSV) as a table type, and also be able to export an Airtable view to a XML feed. (You can kind of accomplish the latter using Raleway’s Airtable import plugin and then a Google Sheets to XML plugin, but it is a touch hacky) Take a look at this Wordpress plugin which imports all entries in an RSS feed and lets you turn it in Custom Post Types: http://www.wpallimport.com Imagine something like this for importing to an Airtable DB instead of a Wordpress DB - it could be really powerful. I would imagine an external data source having to be its own table, where all imported columns would be read-only - though you should be able to add additional columns to do formulas etc on the imported data. ...

Airtable team: Please provide an option to DISABLE the public access to the DESCRIPTION of the VIEW for public shared links to views. This is a security issue. I didn’t notice this was publicly exposed. I had confidential notes in the description and didn’t know this was all exposed. At least there should be a way to disable that. There is a small “i” icon that many people who receive the shared view don’t even notice. I didn’t notice that either. While I see the benefit of having it there, we need an option to disable that. Now I have to remove the decription from there and leave it blank but that defeats the purpose because it was description for me. See picture of what I mean: … Here would be a perfect spot for a the switch to disable it if needed: ... View more

[This was originally posted in another forum section] In Baserow (another online spreadsheet), it’s possible to create as many tokens as you need to access your bases/sheets/tables. Each token has specific access rights (create, read, update, delete) for each table, so that way you can put some API keys in your code without worrying about the more sensitive data getting exposed. It would be great to see that kind of feature with Airtable. ... View more

It would be great (for those larger projects) to have the ability to create base-wide views—essentially organizing one or more tables/tabs into a view. On top of that, it would be great to be able to control access to each base view. A similar example would be Salesforce’s “Application” feature, which organizes collections of objects, optimizing it for a particular user group. ... View more

Suggesting to add field title name above the detail window. The window overlaps the field name so it’s not clear which field it pertains to. ... View more

When an automation fails, I get an email that it has failed, but no information about why. It is likely a one off situation but sometimes this adds up and the reason to the error is a mystery. It would be great to have some sort of debugging information to diagnose the problem. For scripts, the full error would be nice, but for other actions, even getting just the basic error message that we see when testing within AT would be helpful. ... View more

Would be ideal if data in the prefilled form if there was an option to restrict changes to that field I have created a view with the individual that I want to send the prefilled form to & pointed the select to that view, but that is a time consuming workaround that needs to be monitored ...
