On a multiselect, each option can have a color. The autocomplete (when typing on a desktop) or color options to tap (when on mobile) is also very visually pleasing. If you convert it to a record to another table, both desktop and mobile change quite a bit. You have to manually type out a few letters to get options. They’re not color coded. It’s just way different. I have a very important multiselect that I’m downright afraid to convert. It’s too important to lose those (seemingly small) features. So I have another table which I manually update when I add a new option to the multiselect. This is less than ideal. It means I can’t get a count of how many of each option exist across the table. Would be cool if you could bridge the gap here. ... View more

It would be great to be able to export selected (box ticked) records to csv. I haven’t been able to find a solution that exports only selected records, nor a way to filter out/hide records that aren’t selected. Use case: for instance if I’m, creating a quotation budget, and I have a list of lots of sellable items. I want to mark those that the customer is interested in, and export these as a csv. ...

Hi guys, As far as I can tell, the snapshot logic works by looking at the amount of transitions. This is not really helpful when there are minimal, but potentially significant mutations over longer periods of time. Example: a client adds and changes a couple of records every couple of days. He accidentally deletes something and sees that the last auto-snapshot is from a couple of days ago, created before the last mutations. I think it’s wise to create at least one snapshot a day if there are changes at all. Airtable is external memory and to think back and come up with what you’ve done a couple of days ago can be pretty hard, if not impossible. Thanks for listening! ... View more

I use Airtable for sales and it would be great if I could push my current view (record, view, table etc) from the desktop to my smartphone or vice versa (perhaps a view sync mode?). The main reason if that I can tap on a phone number and make a call from the iOS app but if I’m in a record on the computer, I then have to find it on the web app. And even then it’s not perfect because the iOS app doesn’t support Groups (yet!). ...

We have customers that we need to share data with, but Airtable’s app is too confusing; they have to navigate bases and tabs to find the right one. I want to just present them with a view directly to the base & table they need. I can only embed a read-only view, and the app doesn’t have a way to deep-link to a specific table that I know of. Would love a way to do this, so I don’t need to create a whole separate database application to re-implement Airtable using Firebase. ... View more

It would be nice if a base would allow the records view to default to items for the current date rather than all records in a database. For instance, we’re running a production calendar that I would like to send to our marketing team. In the calendar view, they can see all of the records int he sidebar, but they start at the date of the first record added - as the list expands, we’ll either need to delete (or remove the publishing dates) all of the older events out so the most current shows at the top of the list, a cumbersome task. It would be nice if the dropdown would allow one to choose to show from current date with an options to see all should the user choose. ... View more

Is there a way to make a linked field be single selected instead of multiple selected? It is needed to avoid errors in formulas and user (forms) experience. ... View more

Looking at the shopping list use case, it works great until you have checked every item on your list. After, there is no easy way to issue a reset on the in-cart check field. Any thoughts to making this an option? ... View more

I am considering moving from the iOS application MyStuff to Airtable. My only struggle is with importing images linked to the records. When exporting from MyStuff, the result is a CSV file and then folders with related images. Does Airtable have the ability to import images based on file location references in a file in the CSV? Do the images need to be in the same directory as the CSV? Thanks for any insight. Regards, Rob ... View more
