I’ve been looking at Airtable for about a month now and I’m trying to convince my company to switch from Google to Airtable. One issue is that we create an assignment sheet every day some of which are of specific priority levels. Our problem is that we can only create 40 rule sets for coloring cells. First off, I don’t understand why there is a limit at all. Something I’d like to see even MORE is the ability to color cells without creating a rule for it and ideally the color would fill one single cell and not only be visible next to the row number. With a product that seems to emphasize “your data the way you want it” this seems to be quite an oversight. ... View more

It would be great to have the contents of a record expand on the right side of the screen as you click through the records, instead of having to expand into the middle of the page each one at a time? Ideally have it expand into the section of the screen that blocks occupies, sort of like split panel email. thanks, Scott ... View more

Hello, I think there should, or could, be a way to see the history of changes on a field type. For example, if a “Single Select” field turns into a text field, it can create an opportunity for errors and misspellings to occur. I’m dealing with this right now myself, and I have to go through each option manually now to eliminate duplicates. I would love to be able to see who changed the field type, so I can explain to them why it needs to be “Single Select”. I think it would basically be extending the ‘Activity Log’ feature of individual records to the fields themselves. Thanks! ... View more

Hi there, I would like to suggest a card color change or alert for the cards staying too long on a specific stage of the workflow. The KanBan view has the potential of improving productivity. I would like to automatically highlight these cards that get stacked at some stage so I can easily spot and focus on these projects. Each stage can have a certain time to be processed. As soon as it goes to a new position, the time starts from 0. ... View more

The little i information button is very useful for describing the title of the column header. However I would like to add the same option but for any cell in the base. When viewing the record in vertical view, the option to click the i button should be there as well for someone to explain why the result is that result or what it means. ... View more

Hi, Could it be possible to make a Lookup command so we can nest the lookup inside a conditional IF. Thanks ! ... View more

I love the ability to import images via a URL. One thing I’ve recently encountered is the inability to import images in the WebP format. Use of this image format is quickly becoming (annoyingly) widespread. This would likely require converting the images to JPG on import for storage, but that would be simple enough to code. (See: developers . google . com/speed/webp/docs/using) Currently, I’m having to use a third-party website to convert WebP images to JPG, and that adds another 5-8 steps in the process to import an image via URL. I would rather not have to leave Airtable to import WebP images as this is a function I use a LOT. ... View more

We should have an option to lock the positioning of the fields in a table in ALL views that are created. If you have a ton of fields and views in a table (say like 50 fields and 14 views), and you want to add/subtract fields to modify the data in it, it because very cumbersome to make sure the fields in each and every view are organized in the correct/logical order. Some tables don’t require the fields to be in unique/custom orders. It’d be nice to have an option/button that we can turn on/off for a table to force all fields in be placed in the same order. If you adjust the position of “Field 2” in “View 4”, then it’ll automatically update the position of Field 2 in the other 13 views in that table so you don’t have to manually drill into each view and drag Field 2 into the desired position. As tables generate tons of fields/data, this feature would really come in handy and save alot of time. ... View more

When you link records from one table to the next, you can only see that value/linked field in one color. Blue… If you want to visually see the difference between dozens of values in a table, it becomes visually hard to quickly identify a specific value/linked record. Just like we are given colored options with multi-select and single select fields, we should also be able to have a similar menu to determine what color we want each “linked record value” to be. ...
