We’d like the ability to hide a given field across the board, in all user views. Such fields are usually elements of complicated multi-field formulas, and require no UI once configured. Such fields should only be accessible in a “Master Data” view. The “Master Data” view would be accessible to Creators only, and would not allow for any hidden fields or filtering.

Right now, forms allow you to add a new record. However, I wish for the possibility of editing a record via a form as well. It would probably require the first question to select the record in question using the primary field, then filling or editing the fields that are available as questions.
I think this would be useful for many situations where you need users to interact with your base but you don’t want to provide actual base access. For example, if a table on your base consists of staff members and you need them to upload a relevant document. However, the base contains sensitive information about other staff and you don’t want it to be seen by everyone.

Hi there,
I use Airtable as a CRM and as such, I have to write notes in the sidebar (datestamped but non-searchable and can’t be pulled into another cell) or in a Long Text field (no formatting, no timestamps)
What I’d like to be able to do is two things -
Create individual notes entries, date stamped, editable (including the date and time entered), filterable (user, order etc) and searchable.
Ability to pull in notes from all related fields into a single notes field (for example collect all notes from contacts that work at the same company).

Not a full feature request as this is available in the browser version. Having the ability to tag other users in fields when using the Android app would be extremely helpful.

I would like to receive emails (form submissions mostly) from my personal bases to my personal email address, and from work’s team bases to my work’s email :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

I have a table where the linked fields are references to other rows in the same table. I want to create a roll up field, but this isn’t allowed because the links aren’t to another table. Would it be possible to remove this restriction?

I’d like to have more control what data is presented in the Linked Table field instead of only showing the first three fields as well as being able to filter inside this field.
For example if I’m linking to a Deals table, I want to be able to show Deals filtered by their stage in the pipeline (Kanban view) and not by date or alphabet (not sure how they’re organised by default) or Tasks by Date then Priority.
I noticed that the apps screen for Android has had a makeover from a large box (like Linked Fields in Expanded View) to a more row based look -
I’d love to see the same in the Expanded View when it comes to the Linked Table field. With this view, you can see more linked records.

A table view that allows the user to draw simple shapes and place them to form a layout, and then place records in those places. Starting with a simple gridded background (i.e. like graph paper) place a circle or a rectangle in the grid and then connect that shape with a record in the table, or perhaps a query of the table.
In my particular situation, I’m working on a winery production database that will keep track of wine lots and barrels and tanks. A common way of managing tanks is to use a whiteboard with circles in permanent ink drawn on the board to represent the tank layout in the tank room and then use white-erase pen to write in the lot and date of fill and planned date to empty. This is a similar problem to POS systems in restaurants, that have a view where you can draw simple circles or rectangles to represent tables and keep track of seating and reservations that way. A manufacturer with process flow or a warehouse with stocking will have similar needs. You could use this kind of view for a seating chart or for an office inventory as well.

Please can we add grouping to views in iOS apps?
This simple feature is, in part, stopping me from being able to transition my workflow to an entirely iOS ecosystem.
