What is the proposed idea/solution? It would be very useful to be able to select multiple records in timeline view. This would allow you to move multiple bookings at once, in the case of needing to adjust all bookings in a week/two week period by one day. A common scheduling requirement.  How does is solve the user problems? Because otherwise you have to move bookings one day at a time, which is very time consuming. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Anyone handling complicated bookings or task management.  ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow questions on forms that are multi-dimensional, like this https://community.airtable.com/t5/other-questions/multiple-choice-grid-on-forms/td-p/81080 How does is solve the user problems? This will prevent fatigue from users who otherwise have to fill out multiple questions with the same sets of answers i.e. a series of statements that all have the same set of answers to select "strongly disagree, disagree, neither agree/disagree, agree, strongly agree" Who is the target audience? We are an enterprise account who uses AirTable for our program evaluations, for our thousands of program participants to fill out their evaluations ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? I propose to add a way to organize tables by groups as MS Access does. Currently tables in a base are organized by tabs in a row on the top. I understand that this would be against the Excel-like feeling, where the workbook is organized in sheets, which are actually tabs. But I think MS Access way to organize the tables in groups is much better. This feature would get bases much more organized. For example I would create the following organization for my tables: 1) Entities groups. In each of these groups, I would put just the entities which I am dealing with to model my universe (for example, Student, Tuition for a school or Order, item for a procurement etc.) 2) Lookup Tables. All lookups that cannot be implemented with a single field dropdown list. For example a ROLE table which requires a field like Title, but also a description and maybe other fields like Hourly Rate etc. 3) Many-to-Many associations Tables. For all associations that need to be materialized, because you need to record information for each association. For example, when you assign a parking to a car. The association table is the place where to store the arrival date/time and departure. Table types 2 and 3 are quickly proliferating and pollute the data model led by the tables that deal with pure entities. How does is solve the user problems? I would suggest to implement it as a toggle to the interface, so that the users could switch between the two layouts as they wish. Excel-like (tabs in a row) or Access-like (groups of tabs in a side column).  How was this validated? MS Access actually adopts this way to organize multiple tables. Who is the target audience? Airtable users who works directly with tables and base designer. ... View more

It's quite annoying when you need to need to add another variable to a script, but it only lets you append to the end. They are always presented in a consistent order, so it's a bit of an artificial limitation that one cannot change this presentation. Say I have these groupName groupNumber thingName thingTime ...and I want to add groupCoordinator, it becomes disorganised. Long input lists are worse because you may have related inputs that don't even show on the same page (it only fits ~4 at a time, for me). A button/link to sort by name would also be helpful. To work around it, I have to add an extra input slot, then edit existing variables from the bottom up to create an adjacent space. Tokens in values cannot be dragged & dropped, nor cut & pasted, which can introduce errors. It just doesn't make sense to have an ordered list where the order is immutable. ... View more

I have built a list view and would like to move around the records based on how we rank them in a meeting.  It would be great to move a record up/down without having the record nest within another record.  Am I missing a feature on how to do this?  A workaround would be to create a column for rank and sort them after they are ranked - not the easiest for mid-meeting workflow. See video here recorded with Vidyard. ... View more

A capability that could be extremely relevant for many use cases (i.e., CRM, Project Management, and others) would be the record ID reference in enriched long-text.   Golden does this in a very elegant way (see: https://golden.com/wiki/Microsoft-6GKP), where the description of Microsoft is then linked to another record with structured data.  I imagine a functionality in enriched text that allows you to mention in text for a different record in the same (or different) airtable base.  A clear example is a reference call where you mention that during this reference call, the name of a different company popped up. So the text reads something like: "During the call with a prospective client, the name of record_id:xyx came up. Additionally, record_id:zzy was highly recommended. ". In this case, the record_id:xyx also tracks information on when it was mentioned independently. As well as record_id:zzy both linking to the same reference.  ... View more

I am trying to create a company budget database where all the accounts are in the main table (grid view), but some of them are subaccounts of other accounts (and others are sub-sub-accounts, etc.). All the parent/child relationships are between records in the same table. How do I display the data where the sub accounts are indented under their parent records and can roll up at each step of the hierarchy, if desired (including a calculated sum field) For example,  100 Personnel Costs ($250K) <-- This is a calculated roll-up from subaccounts         110 Salary & Wages ($200K)         120 Healthcare ($50K) 200 Facilities ($65K)  <-- Calculated         210 Rent ($30K)         220 Maintenance ($20K)         230 Exterior ($15K)  <-- Calculated                 231 Grounds ($10K)                 232 Signage ($5K) etc.... It would be nice to roll up the budgeted amounts for each subaccount into a field in its parent account. I tried the List view type, but that requires a relationship between records in two different tables.     ... View more

I would like to propose an enhancement to Interface Builder regarding new record creation.   I created an automation that will auto-populate three fields in the Data View when a new record is created on my "Entries" table.  The automation works as expected in Data View, however, when I create a new "Entry" record in the Interface Builder, the fields that are set to auto-populate in Data View do not auto-populate in Interface Builder.   I know that creating the record in Interface Builder, closing the record and then opening that same record in Interface Builder will reveal that those fields have been auto-populated on the backend, however, the User Experience (UX) is (I think) greatly impacted by potentially causing confusion at best and unnecessary / time-consuming rework at worst. This enhancement would also send a positive signal to those who have invested signifiant amounts of time crafting their automation workflows.  Having a more consistent experience across the Airtable platform is a win for the platform and the users. ...
