Suggestion to add a new Field type in air table : Time Stampes logs / notes. Ie. a type of field that keeps the history of all the notes taken, and each time a new note is written, it saved it with the date and time. Example : 2020-09-07 - 1:42pm Just had a call with prospect. Interested to try out the product but concerned about the price. Next step is to book a demo 2020-09-03 - 3:52pm Lead has not responded to my email yet, waiting for a reply EDIT - The above would be contained in one cell of a row only. I understand that you can create a timed log separately and link each of these time logs to one contact or one account for instance, but what I am suggesting here is to have the whole list of timestamped comments as one “cell” for a given contact, which would offer an alternative and make its usage more practical to update I feel ...

It has come to light that the VALUE() function is broken. The VALUE() function is supposed to extract numbers from a string. It’s designed to be used as a simple filtering tool to remove non-numbers from a field. This is how it is documented on the formula field reference page: Formula field reference – Airtable Support Instead, the VALUE() function does at least 2 completely different things: The VALUE() function converts certain letters into numbers, and then multiplies those numbers by the closest numbers that it can find! This issue is documented here: Value Formula Returning Numbers not Found in Cell - #2 by CT3 The VALUE() function interprets certain symbols as operators to perform math on all the extracted numbers from a string. This issue is documented here: Interesting discovery: The VALUE() function performs math We do not know what the complete list of letters & symbols are that cause the VALUE() function to fail, so there is no telling how many different ways this function can fail. In my opinion, everybody should avoid the VALUE() function. Or at the very least, proceed cautiously when using it. This comes right on the heels of me losing a lucrative Airtable client because Airtable has not fixed its mobile views. My client’s website depended heavily on Airtable-embedded views — and they charged their clients to access those pages — BUT most of their clients used mobile devices to browse their website (as do the majority of people using the Internet). But, despite many posts in the forums about this for several years, Airtable still does not offer grouping, filtering, sorting, and searching on any mobile views. So it rendered his website unusable to his clients. My client even emailed Airtable Support about this, and their response was: “We can see how fully-functional mobile views could be helpful. Thanks for the feedback.” Airtable thinks they’re filling a bucket with tons of customers, but they’re not paying attention to the hole at the bottom of the bucket which is leaking customers & causing people who were once fans of the product to badmouth the product instead. ...

Hey! When we choose a cover field for the gallery view, we have two options: Crop or Fit. My suggestion is to add more options there. It would be useful to have an alignment setting when the cover field is cropped. By default the pictures are centred. I made some mockups of how the option would look like, and the impact it would have on my specific use case. Default would be the same: ... View more

It would be really nice if I could select two (or more) records with the checkboxes on my grid view and have a Merge Records option on the context menu that shows up when I right-click. Clicking Merge would take me right to the “Resolve duplicate records” window of the Dedupe block, skipping the part where I have to select which table, view and fields I want to use in order to find duplicates. I want to be able to find duplicates on the fly and merge them as I happen to notice them, instead of it being a whole separate task that I do in batches because it’s too cumbersome to do for just a couple records. ...

I have a simple feature request. At the moment the keyboard shortcut to access the Filter menu is Ctrl-Shift-F. I would like Ctrl-Alt-F added to open the Filter menu with the current selected column as the field to filter by. It cuts out a step. ... View more

My team shares excel files of names and addresses in an “Attachment” column. Is it possible for the attachment preview to show how many rows are in the attached excel file? Additionally, if that attachment preview would also show comments that are embedded in a PDF file I would win the nerdiest Airtable user at HPU award… and I love to win. ... View more

I’m interested in dragging and dropping linked items between columns/fields of the same type. For example, you might have a column for ‘software in use’ and one for ‘software archive’, both of which refer to types of software listed in another table. It would be great to be able to drag an item from one spot to another similar to how an Airtable user can drag and drop items within a list once the detail modal is opened. ... View more

Any window that opens in Airtable can be closed by pressing ESC (Escape) key on keyboard except for the attachment-detail view (it’s the window showing single attachment e.g. picture detail). That window can’t be closed by ESC. Please consider making ESC available to close it. It’s super inconvenient to have to click the close icon in the window to close it. ... View more

I keep closing my Airtable application window because the Image view Close icon is so close to the Application icons. Please consider moving the Close icon further from the application icons. I am talking about overlay window that opens when I click on the document attachment (e.g. picture). I am on Mac and using the Airtable app for MacOS (not sure if same issue is on Windows, since the Windows icons are on the right, so this may well be only limited to MacOS Airtable app. Here is what I mean: ...
