I am a regular use of the AirTable iOS app, but have two requests / issues that I encounter on a daily basis. I usually attach some attachments (images for the most part) to my records and about 50-60% of the time, the attachments fail to upload to the record (ie. due to some issues with AirTable server, mobile network connectivity, etc.–actually unknown as there are no logs, just silently fails from an user perspective). It would be awesome if the iOS app had some local caching / management and syncing functionality built into the attachments feature so my uploads don’t get lost on “failure”. Since there is no notification that the upload has failed and they are just dropped, I don’t usually notice that my attachments are missing until I review the record several days later and then I have to track down and mentally re-associate attachments with the record. To the iOS devs: a simple temporary fix would be to add some type of retry logic in the failure callback of the upload call. Another issue I am having related to images is I will usually attach multiple images to a record. It would be awesome if I could select multiple images in the gallery. Otherwise, I have to upload images one by one, and if the image is “far down” the image gallery, I have to scroll all the way back down and find out which image I need to upload. Anybody else having these issues with attachments and/or have a solution/workaround for the time being? ... View more

Hi, I know there are MANY posts on the topic but my request is a mix of them aiming to make the whole linking super simple. We have an Airtable form on a website which populates a “Opportunities” table. One field is “email”. We have another table in the Base which is “Contacts”, that have an “email” primary key. We want the form to immediately link the Email that was recorded with either the existing Contact found in Contacts or create a new Contacts entry. Automatic linking would happen if in the form the “Email” question was a “Link to another table” field type. Of course, we don’t want to do this for privacy reasons: then anyone could look up the other existing emails. Plus there doesn’t seem to be the option in such form fields to “create a new entry”, only select existing ones. Currently, our very manual process is to add another column in the “Opportunities” table, “link to another table” type, next to the “email” field. Then go “copy-paste” each recorded email in that cell. When it matches an existing record it links to it, and otherwise this paste creates a new Contact in the Contacts table. What we would request is that a link between tables can be created directly from a form entry. There would be the choice in the Form editor either to have a “select existing entries” OR a simple text (or email) input field that then has the exact effect of the “copy-paste” step. ... View more

Using Airtable to plan out my day. I like this better than using Google Calendar or iCal since I can see the items as both a list and on a calendar. I can also have way more colors and categories without getting too complicated. Issue is that many of the items are 15 minute tasks and it’s hard to visualize when the tasks push each other to the side instead of stacking. I’d suggest that calendar view be customizable so the height shows X hours at a time. Then scroll can be used to see all the items within a day and no item needs to be pushed to the side because there isn’t enough height for the name of the item. ... View more

Hi, Occasionally someone makes a change to the table that breaks a formula or script someone else was using elsewhere. Currently Airtable doesn’t notify the other person of this (only displaying the little red triangle) and the changer might not realise what they had done. Could there be an automation trigger of on breaking change that can then be used to send an email to an SRE team or slack channel to let people know it needs fixing. ... View more

It would be great to have an option to view comments you’ve made so you can easily track what comments you are waiting for a response on. It would also be great to have the option to flag or save important comments for later. This would be particularly helpful for my team as we have naturally moved away from email and towards using Airtable commenting features. ... View more

session.activeViewIds would return all of the tables’ active viewIds Use Case I’m prompting users for a couple view names in a script, but that seems unnecessary since the views users choose will likely be whatever their active views are. The views are meant to act as filters for which records are involved for the script. But it’s not ideal to be prompting for views if there are eventually a lot of views in use (and therefore a large single select to scroll through). What I’ve Tried It’s possible to get all the view ID’s, the current table’s active view ID, as well as view ID’s already known by name - but those don’t help because of the italicized words. Example Let’s say I have a base with two tables (Apples and Oranges) and a bunch of views in them. The Apples table is currently set to “Zollie’s Apple View” and the Oranges are set to “Zollie’s Orange View.” I’d like to return the view ID for both of those Views, without returning any others. ...

How can you customise the information on a calendar view? The calendar view doesn’t add as much as I hoped for us - it shows the name of the record and then if we click on that the name and the date. As our record names is a alphanumeric code - it doesn’t immediately provide value to us (we need to open the whole thing) - What I would like is to be able to customise the informaiton that shows up in a calendar and on click of a record in calendar (before i expand the record). Our use case here is that we deliver 1000s of workshops - i want a trainer name calendar so i can see at a glance which trainers are working on that specific day - within my workshops tab. Equally having the click on record show the location or client would be great. Frankly showing the datye is of limited value as I know that from looking at the calendar If this is already possible then i would love to know how - if not please add to roadmap ... View more
