I would love to be able to get Base & Fields metadata, such as table names, descriptions, data types, formulas, etc…
IMHO the more endpoints available the more creative developers get with a product… quite the opposite of Twitter’s approach to developers :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I was just thinking about Slack’s Slackbot, and it got me thinking:
Wouldn’t it would be awesome if we could let integrated apps act as virtual collaborators?
Just as we can notify people when they’re added a collaborator, imagine that instead of assigning a task in a field to Sarah in Design, I could assign it to Zapier and trigger a workflow.
What do you think?

When sorting text written in Swedish I get the following order:
Ägg
Bacon
Ketchup
The correct sort order, in Swedish, is to sort A-Z and then Å, Ä, Ö.
Googling this issue returns no relevant results, so I am assuming this is something you need to implement.
So my feature request would be internationalization for fields when it comes to sorting.

It would be great to add a field like “auto number” that dropped in the date (or date and time) that a record was created. This would be very useful when combined with the forms/survey feature.

Is it possible to make multiple and single select fields reffer to another field with multiple entries?
example:
table has 3 fields named goon type, available goons, chosen goons
in available goons (dependant on goon type), I have a multiple select or a lookup field with several entries, but I have to select only few of them for this specific record in the field chosen goons.
this would fulfill a good part of the void left by the non-existence of data validation.

I have several teams that have a few editors each, but they can’t create basis in the teams without being a creator on the team. I don’t want them to have creator access to the bases, but I also don’t want to have to create 10 to 30 basis a month myself, even if they are a copy of anther base.

Please implement import/export formats beyond CSV. Being able to migrate to/from tools like FileMaker and Access is critical. Hell, even XLS export would be an improvement. CSV is of course clean, but it’s OLD, and removes 100% of database functionality upon export. Thus, it is not a valid backup format. We require offline file-based backups. Thank you!

Currently it is not possible to add tables between bases without loosing the link between the linked tables. Since it is easy to Duplicate a Base now, it should be easy to combine 2 bases together.
Benefit of this would be to have control of the structure from one base to another.
Example: You have many bases that you need to combine without starting from the beginning. Right now we can use Zapier to move data around but nothing to control structure of the tables.
