I have been working with Airtable for only a short time - with a view to building solutions for clients. One of the things that worries me is how easy it is to delete a record - simply right click and delete and it’s gone. In my view there should at least be an Are you sure message - or the increasingly common requirement to type something like “Delete this record” into a dialog box. It may be that a table option should be provided to allow a choice for the creator. ... View more

This occurred to me when I was playing with the new Gallery views - which I love by the way. If you are building a number of view of a table to cover different subjects (an HR example may be views on Employees to view their Personal Information on one view, their Job related information on another and leave information on a third), then it would be very useful to be able to define which fields are available on the associated Expanded view (and this is not just the fields in the view calling up expanded view). I would add that it’s not only the input fields that you should be able to choose but also the ‘incoming’ or child linked records as well. I wouldn’t want to see linked absences, for example, on an Expanded view associated with an employee’s personal information. ... View more

I love expanded record view! But when I’m in there, I sure do miss the field descriptions. It would be so helpful if the field descriptions we’ve added (via grid view) could also be visible in expanded record view. ... View more

I really like the recent addition of the grouped records function. It came at a really perfect time and has been very useful for my application. I can use it to slice my data set in really functional ways. The problem comes when I want to export the data in my grouped view. I would have expected that the records that are grouped to be somehow separated when the download CSV button was pressed. At the moment, the entire list is downloaded in a single file without any distinction between groups. This is problematic when the fields that are used to group the records in AirTable are hidden. I would expect that each group might have their own CSV, or that the single CSV would have a ghost row which would separate the groups and mimic the look of the grouped records in excel. ...

I’ve been slowly adding more advanced formulas to my base and I’m starting to create formulas that have errors in them that I cannot find easily. I’m also a pretty heavy user of Cognito Forms and I really like the way they handle formulas with errors: The simple debugger lets me know the general vicinity of the error which allows me to understand what I may have done wrong. Usually the issue is a simple syntax issue, but with larger formulas with nested if statements which often contain additional functions, tracking down issues can be somewhat problematic. A little help in this area via a built-in tool would be much appreciated. ... View more

It’d be really helpful if we could have calendar events take on a highlight color and also if you could set a start and end date for an event then have the even show up or span multiple days. l ... View more

There are tables that are used for quick data entry that are normally not updated very often (for example product brands). The linked table GUI allows to pick existing records from the brand table, or if you type new stuff and press enter a new record is created in the table. During massive and quick data entry this can be a problem as duplicate or incomplete records could be created. The idea is to have a “flag” at the table level that updates to that table can only be done from the actual table, and not from a linked record. It is a “data validation” feature really. Cheers, ...

I’d like a way to be able to test a change a formula field to make sure that the field behaves as desired before committing the change to a live production base. Right now, I’m making a change to a calculated status field that uses data from a bunch of different tables. The best way I’ve found to make sure I’m not screwing up the live data in the field with the change is to duplicate the entire base into a “beta” base to ensure that the relationships and data are good examples of the live data, test the change, and then make the change in the real base once I’ve got it working. I would love the ability to enter a sandbox mode in a base where I can experiment with changes and preview how the changes would affect the base without having to duplicate the entire base. Duplicating the entire base seems like overkill to test a change to a single field. The other issue I run into is that I sometimes test a bunch of changes in the test base and trying to remember what I’ve done and need to commit to the production base is difficult. I have a lot of Zapier integrations that use the production base which is why I can’t simply dupe and version the base like I would otherwise. Versioning the base in this manner would require that I update all the Zaps to the new base which would mean that I would have to re-create each zap from scratch once the new base is selected. ...
