Currently, when creating a table, users are prompted with the "What should each record be called?" dropdown menu.  There are many options available but not one for every use case out there.  It would be nice if when the user selected "other" they got a chance to type in exactly what they want the records in the base to be called or if Airtable got rid of the drop down altogether and made it a freetext field by default.   ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Currently, the record in an airtable can be linked to another one from a different table in a base. I need a feature that enables linking one record to another in the same table How does is solve the user problems? A record that highlights a task may be an extension of another record worked on earlier. To draw references from that record, linking it would help A LOT! How was this validated? Not having to jump into different records Who is the target audience? All teams working on AT. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? We would like to be able to format the expanded records on the table the same way we can format them in an interface. How does is solve the user problems?  Having this feature will help us group fields together so the person or people responsible for entering data in those fields can easily open the record and find their relevant fields. How was this validated? It was validated using this feature on an interface. We don’t always want to build an interface just for this feature. Who is the target audience? All Airtable users ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Please make it possible to sync the google drive in an automation or from an API call as an extra option beside just the 5 minute interval or manual click in the airtable><Google Drive table that is currently available. How does is solve the user problems? When you are designing workflows in an airtable interface and the flow is touching on a document that is created and then stored in a google drive, your workflow is automatically interupted now until the sync is completed between airtable and Google drive before you can work with the data from the newly created document. The only way to bypass this lagg currently is by manually going into the table and press the "sync now" button. However, in many use cases (including mine), you dont want the customer to go into the data part of airtable.  How was this validated? I have been looking online and the only somewhat relevant info is on how to keep the table "alive" by setting up an automation on an interval. But that doesnt solve the problem as it still requires you to wait a few minutes for the sync to automatically occur. Who is the target audience? Workflow designers who have customers who only get access to interfaces or external access (like softr, make etc.) ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Provide a toggle (or perhaps 3 state field/toggle) at top of Expanded Record UI which will show/hide groups of fields: 1) show/hide only editable fields 2) show/hide only fields with values Others have proposed ability to hide individual fields in Expanded Record view, but this can be done via hiding fields in views and Interfaces.  I'm proposing 2 common use cases that would improve usability and save a lot of additional work required for workarounds.   How does is solve the user problems? As tables get longer (more fields), it gets cumbersome trying to edit or read data for one record.  Opening a record in Expanded Record view can be very long and frustrating when a) you just want to edit data, and/or b) have to scroll through lots of empty fields to find the data you want.   Yes, you can create new views and hide certain fields (e.g., for showing just editable fields), but a) the # of views can get unwieldy as bases grow, b) these views that must be updated/maintained as fields change, c) this doesn't solve the 2nd case of dynamically hiding empty fields (similar to how DeDupe extension hides duplicate data). How was this validated? Every day use Who is the target audience? Everyone with records with more than a small number of fields and who use native UI (e.g., expanded records view) ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Similar to Record Details pages, I would like the ability to include additional fields in the dropdown when selecting linked records in interface forms. How does it solve the user problems? I use unique ID's in the primary field, which makes it difficult to identify the appropriate record when selecting from the dropdown in interface forms. The ability to include other fields in the dropdown would allow me to select appropriate records without having another window open to map the ID's to my selection. This has already been implemented in Record Details pages, so I'm hoping it can be added without much issue (pictures attached). It would also save me from having to restructure my database. How was this validated? Everyday use Who is the target audience? Anyone using interface forms ... View more
