I need to copy an attachment into another cell, but that cell already has a document that I need to keep, in addition to the one I want to add.
If I drag the cell corner to copy, it overwrites the existing document in the next cell.

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?

Currently Kanban view is not enabled for mobile or tablet apps.
At the very least, kanban should be enabled for tablets - the screens are big enough to handle the kanban view.

This is kind of related to Better UI/UX for activity feed but more specific.
I’m new to Airtable and a huge part of its appeal is a single place to manage data and content, and to discuss it.
But the width given to an expanded record’s Activity pane is insufficient to make discussion easy – to write or to read – which means discussions are too likely to end up some place else such as Slack or Basecamp.
My experience to date suggests that, on desktop/laptop:
The modal overlay for an expanded record has a fixed width of 838px given to it
The Activity sidebar is given 308px of that
Which leaves just 218px available for text content in a Comment.
That’s enough for only about 30 characters per line of Comment text, and that’s a pain.
Please find a way to grant more width to the Activity pane when there is sufficient viewport width available. It ought to be possible for it to allow an optimal line length of around 65 characters.

Recently noted on Airtable’s What’s New page is an enhancement to the Page Designer Block allowing the user to change the order in which elements are stacked on the page. Given my use of Page Designer often involves layering elements to fake conditional formatting, this is a much appreciated improvement. Thanks, everyone!

In the map block, the “Get Directions” button for a location opens up a Google Maps browser window with the directions to the reverse-geocoded address of that location. This is a problem if that address is unknown to Google Maps (like a location in a middle of field).
For example: Airtable geocoded a GPS coordinate as “Unnamed Road, Hotolo, South Africa”. When clicking on the “Get Directions” button in Airtable, Google Maps opens up, but it cannot find the location and the directions cannot be displayed. Instead, rather use the original GPS coordinates for the directions link to Google Maps.
