What is the proposed idea/solution? ...include an option for automation on field updates to not trigger on each keystroke (i.e. to trigger when focus is lost on the watched field or some other solution) How does is solve the user problems? ...triggering automations on each keystroke causes several problems, especially with two-way sync either within Airtable or with external sources (discussed here: https://community.airtable.com/t5/automations/automation-starts-immediately-after-the-first-keystroke/td-p/101927) How was this validated? ...I have a base that this is causing issues for Who is the target audience? ...anyone who has automations in bases that are enabled with two-way sync ...

Hello, I'd like to suggest that you freeze the header row in the Interface list element! I prefer to use the list over the grid because it's more visually appealing, but when you're scrolling through a long list it would be helpful to still see the header row like you can with the grid element. ...

Short of more granular user permissions (by table, not by base), it would be VERY useful to be able to lock certain records… or even certain fields. We have many, VERY complicated records, that we’d like to use as templates. I want to prevent someone from trying to do their job and accidentally altering the master… They don’t even have to be permission locked…just a button you have to push to MAKE SURE you want to delete/alter it, before you do. ...

Can you please add comment functionality in functions? This would be a big help when understanding previous peoples work!! ... View more

Pretty simple really. When grouping records in Views, my suggestion is to implement the option to group records by week, month, and year instead of solely by specific date. For example, if I’m tracking call records from sales calls, we monitor performance on a weekly basis. This feature is already available in things like Charts in Interfaces (and the Chart app), but at-a-glance grouping would be helpful too. Please and thank you! ... View more

What I would personally like is the ability to add a comment to any given field for any given record (akin to the cell-level comments that appear as red triangles in the corner of cells in Excel). There are times when I want to add additional or qualifying comments/notes at a field-level in records without cluttering up the view. Excel examples: Add comment Comment indicator On-hover Edit comment I merely want what could be considered a comment mode/layer that could be applied to any given cell in any given field in any given table. Excel, Google Sheets, and many other spreadsheet-based applications provide this functionality. The purpose is to be able to collaborate or add additional notes or comments in context without affecting the data in the cells themselves. This essentially requesting the same functionality that is currently available for adding field descriptions to field headers, but also allowing this at an individual cell level. There are limitless use cases for this functionality: Carrying out a collaborative conversation Providing an editor’s note for a publicly shared table Adding a comment about an outlier result in a data table Adding notes about a set of images. Adding a disclaimer ... View more

Commenting would be far more helpful if it behaved in Airtable as it does in products like G Suite and Office 365 – comments can be resolved and therein no longer displayed as an action item (in the case of Airtable denoted by the small number in the far left column of the record). ... View more

When sharing in external places like iMessage or Slack that support a rich preview, it would be much more helpful if links to specific records or specific bases/views actually said in the preview what the name of the card or base/view was rather than every link always just saying “Airtable works like a spreadsheet but gives you the power of a database to organize anything. Sign up for free.” That way someone can see what we’re talking about before having to click the link. Alternately more readable url’s would be nice. ... View more

It’d be great if you could print the views of blocks. When you hit print now, it just prints the view of the main table/grid you’re in, not the full screen block you’re currently viewing. This would be a very useful addition! ... View more
