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 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.

Please add better default display options to Kanban cards. The current options are very limited, and the default display makes terrible use of space. This is specially applicable to Task based cards with no image or attachment associated.
For example, my default display can only displays 2-3 words in the card title (see image below). This makes it very hard to have a broad view of tasks without having to click on each one individually. By contrast, Target Process resolves this by wrapping titles and making better use of space (see image below).
IMHO this is major limitation of the Kanban view that largely renders it useless.

As we’ve been testing AirTable for our business’s project management needs, one thing we’ve had trouble setting up is something like an expense report, purchase order, or mileage report.
Our typical reports would be a single printable document with several standard pieces of data (job name/number, purchase date, vendor info, billing method, etc), and a table containing purchase info (item, qty, price) with totals at the bottom.
In Airtable, you can currently accomplish something like this with two tables (let’s call them “Expense Reports” and “Expense Items”) with the latter connected to the former with a “Link” field. But it’s a bit clumsy, because you’d have one table with each “report” and another table that contains lots and lots and lots of expense items that likely have nothing to do with each other. More importantly, it’s not really possible to export the data from each Report while including the Expense Item data.
A more elegant solution would be a field type called “Nested Table.” This would create (within a record) a small table/spreadsheet with customizable columns, simple math functions, and the ability to add rows on-the-fly.
Thoughts?

It would be great to flag a field for word wrap in the grid view like in Excel. Similarly it would be nice to be able to wrap column headers to 2 or 3 lines. I quickly run out of horizontal space and then have to scroll.
