We use Airtable to manage our accounts and their contact information, tax ID, mailing address, etc. We use Wunderlist on the side which acts as a project manager, ensuring that we send all of the necessary communication to each account throughout the duration of our relationship. I would love to see a feature which allows a checklist to be embedded within the database. In grid view, this would have a single cell which, if clicked on, would show an interactive checklist that pertains to that specific record. This would allow us to eliminate Wunderlist and use Airtable as our CRM and project management tool. ... View more

I’m using Airtable for tracking a large set of product ideas. I share this table with many other people and I would like a way to gauge the group’s interest in ideas as a way to bubble up the best. (Up voting and down voting). It would be great if there was a custom Voting/Like/+1 Field that would let each user up vote or down only once and result in an integer that you could then sort on. It may be hard to build but, would replicate a pretty basic Reddit-type functionality. Thanks! ... View more

It would be useful to be able to filter a card’s activity feed by field and date range! Many times when searching through the activity feed, we are searching for when a particular field was updated, or for or all of the activity that happened in a particular date range. When a record is linked in many places and constantly updated, the activity/history feed on that card can become so large that it becomes difficult to find when a specific field on that record was updated, or to get to a particular date range of activity, as we have to continue to click ‘load more’ for minutes until we reach the desired date range/beginning of history. ...

Two of my biggsest gripes Airtable are: 1) not being able to add records when the view is grouped, and 2) having records disappear as they are entered if the filter field is not set. Instead, what if Airtable always defaulted the fields in a new record to match the grouping values where it is created? For example, if my view is grouped by Project and Task and I add an item in the Project “A”/Task “B” subgroup, how wonderful it would be if I could add a record there and have it default to Project A and Task B! Setting defaults this way would also go a long way to making life easier for those of us who use a lot of filtered views. If the groups also covered the filtered fields, I wouldn’t have so many new records accidentally disappear because they no longer match the criteria. This field default idea sort-of works now in the Kanban view. When you add an item to a list, the value of the single select that the view is based on is set to the value of the list. I say “sort of” because it’s too easy to enter an item into a list and watch it be filtered out of the view. Also, I wish that there could be a “require filter fields” option that simply would not allow users to enter data into filtered views without setting the fields on which the filter criteria are based and smartly offer default values to match the view being worked on. ...

Thanks for your hard work on this beautiful software! I would love to see the ability to start the time tracker block from an individual record. The workflow would be much more simple than having to click to the time tracker block, press Start, (and the most time consuming part) searching for the proper “task” record to add time to. Thanks again! ... View more

I note if you attach a password protected PDF to a base on both desktop and iOS if you try to access the file it asks for your password and opens. The same however is not true for docx files you need to download the file out of airtable then open it with the password. This raises 2 questions for me is there any way docx that are password protected can be opened within airtable. Secondly I have bases with pdf attachments is there any way I can password protect the files within airtable ie can I password protect a whole field or must I individually replace the pdf files with password protected ones? ...
