I’m trying to manage my Roleplaying campaign in Airtable but would like to link specific records inside some of my long text formatted fields for instance “Dargon the warrior is traveling to Flurgan the village.” can “Dargon” and “Flurgan” be links to records?

I have a user case where I need to be able to have the form reveal, display or highlight specific fields based upon the individual’s first selection. All entries will update the same base table.
Problem statement example:
Are you Tom or Susan?
If Tom: Show fields 1,2,7,8,10 for content input.
If Susan: Show fields 3,4,5,6,9 for content input.

We are starting to implement using the Page Designer Block to create “Sell Sheets” for our vehicle inventory. While I can see that there are numerous benefits to this feature, one thing is throwing me off. The page alignment is completely out-of-whack; the first time I tried to print, the bottom of the page was cut-off even though it was visible in the “Edit Layout” mode and the “Presentation” mode. I adjusted and got it all to fit (had to move everything up about 1.5", which is ridiculous), but the margins are still mis-aligned. I’ve attached screen shots to show the print preview vs. what I see in presentation mode. Is anyone else running into this issue? Presentation Mode: note bottom of page and margin alignment Print Preview: Margins are widened significantly

I love the page designer.Although pretty barebones, I am aware that it’'s still a beta and knowing how you work, I fully expect that it will improve over time. One feature that I think is critical but missing is the ability to have the header to any column show a header. If you have multiple fields, having to manualy enter a text header and then match up the actual data is both a pain, and can lead to pretty serious errors. Currently, I can link to another table , but this A: is limited in it’s appearance, and B: I don’t necessarily want to create a link to another table solely to make the page designer work.

I would like the ability to control how many fields are visible on the record preview when embedded on a website. I use the “card view on desktop” option, and it shows the first 3-4 fields on the card. This can be confusing for users that think data is missing or incomplete. It would be helpful to be able to determine how many fields are visible in the record preview, before clicking to view the entire record.

Hello, I would like to request that it be easier to flip from a Grid to Gallery View and vice versa. Sometimes it is just easier to work in one or the other and at the moment one needs to set up both views in order to do that, therefore adding unnecessary views to the view drop down menu.

Today, we really dove into the Page Designer Block. And beyond our deep desire for traditional print layout metaphors, we have the following concerns/needs: Though PSDs preview within an Attachments field, they are not supported within the Page Designer Block. Though flattened TIFFs are supported by the Attachments field, layered TIFFs are not supported. When printing from the Page Designer Block, blank pages are inserted after every page of data. This requires manual clean-up in Acrobat or similar. Though PDFs are supported well when using Airtable online, they are rendered at a very low resolution when printed to PDF via the Page Designer Block. We require sharp PDFs, and are thus required to export our PDFs as images if we want them at usable fidelity once printed.

Hey Airtable, Would be awesome if there could be a better way (a new type of table) to create a 2D junction table between regular tables. Example: Table 1: SCENES from a movie Table 2: CHARACTERS from a movie Table 3: COSTUMES available for the movie Junction 2D table: COSTUMES that are worn in a given scene by the characters Note that: we need to know which costume is assigned to which character a given costume can be worn by one actor in a scene and worn by another actor in another scene Therefore, an easy way to represent that junction table junction table would be as a matrix (classic excel): Where we would choose the 2 tables that populates the rows & columns (here SCENES & CHARACTERS) with all their possible values and we would add the junction values directly in the grid where needed. The COSTUMES table also exist as regular table on its own since it may be useful to describe other attributes for each costume. The problem is of course that with Airtable as it is today, when the number of records of the tables you want to join gets high and is subject to regular changes, it’s a pain to maintain a proper junction table (where every combination must be entered manually). I also thought, maybe the new matrix block can help to avoid creating a junction table, but that means the results are not representing the data from my original example anymore. (I recreated in Excel the result of the matrix block to make it more compact) So a 2D table type that could be used as easy junction tables would be super great ! Any supporters about this feature ? Thanks Cheers ! R.
