Something I’ve run across a few times now: If I am looking to batch update a field in a section of records it is helpful to group them, but… If those records are grouped by the field I wish to update, which they sometimes are, we are not able to array an update made to that grouped field, as it collapses the record before we can array the update. The only way around is to un-group the cells, which is no so convenient if that grouping is the driver for the update… Group on / Group Off / ad-inf Here is a visual, hopefully it helps: In this image I have just updated record 86 - Field 5 with a record link (Multiuse Tools…) that I would like to array to fields 87-91. I cannot however perform that array because it has already collapsed and the record into the new grouping and relocated to record 1089. I love the collapsed record HUD, I think that’s a a brilliant feature! AND… if it was possible to add array handles to it, that would be super awesome-cool! ... View more

I’d like to suggest a new Block that displays Form contents, in the same format in which the Forms are submitted–what the submitter sees. Ideally, with an optional plain-text or minimal-formatting mode, allowing us easy copy/paste of creative briefs. ... View more

Problem: If a user has beyond a handful of images in an Attachment cell it’s difficult to reorder them in the current two-column heavily visually UX. Solution: Provide or more condensed list view option when the cell is expanded. See my attached mock for a rough idea. ... View more

I was testing blocks yesterday and I was very impressed with its flexibility and usefulness (and beauty as well). I really thought that it was an old feature since I am using Airtable for two days only. Unfortunately, I will use them as long as you allow it in free plan. As I don’t have any company it won’t be affordable for me to pay any Pro plan. Congratulations for this feature but, IMHO, the blocks are the main “killer feature”. Without them in free plan I am really convinced I can do most of the tasks and analysis in Google Spreadsheets as I always did. You have to think the differences between Microsoft and Google in terms of what is free and what is charged. I really think you should reconsider the blocks as an only PRO feature. Maybe you should restrict the number of blocks (2 or 3, for instance) for each spreadsheet, but it MUST be in free plan, otherwise you may lose a lot of people, like me, who will keep on Google spreadsheets. PS: I also love the different Views in each spreadsheet, but they are not as appealing as the blocks. I hope my feedback makes you think more about that! Thanks and congratulations! ... View more

Hi! When I share a calendar view (fed by 5 fields) via a private link, the result on the suscription ONLY displays the FIRST date filed… Is this a bug or am I missing something here? How can I share this view showing ALL the fields used? Thanks! ... View more

Please correct me if i’m wrong. I don’t see a CASE statement in Airtable. It’s a classical one but still very useful if you can avoid unreadable nested IF statements : CASE ( condition1; Statement if condition1 is TRUE; statement if condition1 is FALSE; Condition2; Statement if condition2 is TRUE; statement if condition2 is FALSE; … DEFAULT VALUE when nothing else matched ) Advantage: The evaluation ends with the first condition that matches ...

Hi, In light of the EU GDPR coming into effect, is it possible to permanently delete a single record? From doing some research my understanding is that there will always be a revision history and snapshots stored for some time that will include the data that needs to be deleted. Would be great to be able to have the option to permanently delete a record. ... View more

I know it could be related to some filtering in linked records but I’d like to talk about my usecase, just to expand the possibilities. I’m using airtable to manage an inventory of videogames collection. I have a hardwares table, an accessories table and a games table. The hardwares table refer to accessories table for the included accessories (but it may not be a right thing to do, it’s just in a matter of “base-bundle”). And I have a bundles table which group hardwares, accessories and games. For instance, I have to create as many accessories as I own. But what if I wanted to have only a count ? I did it, and with the magic of rollup and formulas I can have a count of available accessories not in bundles. It would be great if I could have only one entry for an accessory and be able to link to it from the bundles table based on the available count of accessories. That’s my case. Hope it helps ! ...

I’ve been looking at a similar topic and wonder if you would consider to add a summary column. I imagine it to be similar to the summary row at the bottom, but make it possible to calculate a rolling sum. I have columns for date, debit, and credit, so the function would have to look up the previous date. Then it would add the previous sum, the current debit, and subtract the current credit. This would preserve the visual independence of records and still work if they are reverse or out of order. I realise that this can be achieved with existing functionality but I am a new user and feel like it would be a common enough use case. Sorry for the cryptic explanation, I’m happy to elaborate. I’m sure that people will come up with similar calculations that can be attached to a record in a column on the right edge. ... View more
