Hi, I just noticed that record views do not show field descriptions. The descriptions are very nice in the table view and probably more important in a record view where it is harder to understand what a field is supposed to do without other records for context. Speaking of context in the record view, it would be super-helpful if clicking that tiny, invisible link back to the source table at the top of the form also took you to the record in the table. I would also love to see a control to hide or unhide fields in the record view. I just figured out that the first view controls which fields are hidden on the form, but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to control (visibility and order of fields) from the form?

I made this a feature request, as it appears from Help documentation that it cannot currently be done. I have dates in one table which are in a lookup field (so Assets in a table of assets find out their deadline from the deadline of the project in which they’re included (Projects are in a separate table). So I want to show the Assets in a Calendar view showing when they need to be done, but the date field for the calendar view isn’t a Date field—technically it’s a Lookup field—so it doesn’t show as an available date. If I copy the value from the Lookup field to a dummy Date field I run into the problem Y_K posted: that a Formula Field doesn’t work (either) for the purposes of the Calendar view. Basically, Airtable users need to use any field formatted as Date as input for the Calendar View. Thank you!! Airtable is miraculous. (And PLEASE don’t let anyone buy the company!) ... View more

Hey there, I think the date filters are somehow wrong. “is within past month” doesn’t show entries within the past month but within the past 30ish days starting a month ago. We’re now in June. When filtering for entries within the past month I would expect getting entries within May which is the past month. It would be great if this would work well. Additionally I would suggest adding “this month” to the list too. This would help show something like sales from the actual month which doesn’t currently work as a filter as far as I can see, right? Thanks for considering! ... View more

I love having a search bar in any filter I set so that I can easily find the field I would like to filter by, but there is no such search bar in the hidden fields menu.I have one Base with 170 fields in it, Scrolling through all of them is at best tedious and at worst time consuming because I keep missing the one field I’m trying to find. ...

My database has a lot of separate tables. A many of the tables “belong” or feed into certain other tables. It would be nice to “assign” a table to only those tables related to it and these subordinate tables are only viewed when the “parent” table is being viewed. For example, let’s say I have five tables: Items Donations Purchases Membership Affiliation Restrictions I only need to see the tabs for the Donations and Purchases tables when the Items table is up. Likewise Affiliation and Restrictions can be subordinate to Membership. So, when I open up Airtable, it only has the Items and Membership tabs, and then when I click on Items, then the Donations and Purchases tabs will appear next to the Items tab. What’s happening with me is that I have many tables and lots of tabs and it would be nice to be able to hide some of the table tabs and have them viewable only when I’m working on parent tables that use the child table’s information. ...

When a user clicks on a card (embedded in an iframe) to enlarge it, the pop up card has the icons for the data field. It would look a lot cleaner and more professional if were possible to not display these. ... View more

It’s cool that you have a URL link feature and a formula field, but if you had a field that combined those, that would be awesome. In my library, I’d like to have a field with the word “Check Out” and it being a dynamically generated link to the checkout form with the item prepopulated in the form. I can generate the url, but I can’t seem to embed it as a cleaner looking link. ... View more

I’m using Airtable to build a team library. I’m using typical forms to have folks enter in data, and using iframes using grid/card view to display the data on a website. Since the card view has limited room (yes, you can click and enlarge, but…) it would be nice to have a toggle where empty data isn’t shown. So, if one item has an external link, that would show, but for another item, that field won’t appear at all. (In other words, a field will show only if it has data to display.) ... View more

First of all, many compliments on the android app: I love it and it is very user friendly and intuitive. Now, when adding an attachment to a record, the options are: camera and file picker. But I need to make and attach a pdf using the phone camera… Currently if the user attaches a picture using the phone’s camera, Airtable allows the user to choose which camera app to use, which gave me this idea: Is there a way to force the camera trigger to open CamScanner or AdobeAcrobat or AdobeScan? At the moment, when I want to attach a pdf, I have to open CamScanner or AdobeAcrobat take a picture using the camera app from within the PDF app, then save the file, then open Airtable, then open the file picker, find the file and hit attach, wait for the upload… TKO / RIP -.- x-| As a work around, I have thought of attaching a file using evernote but have not yet tried this. Anyone else running into this issue? ... View more
