Currently when grouping, the value of the field shows as a kind of title for the group. When the field value is longer than the first column, only the first few characters show, not to mention the space taken by the record count. I think it’d be ideal if the full value text were to appear, followed by the count, but not restricted to the first field width. That way it’d be much easier to use IMO. ... View more

One of our uses for Airtable is to host our work orders for our quality control department. We create a record with text, dates, links, and pdf attachments of our design schematics. It’s a waste of paper to print these off ahead of time because they get lost. So we want to be able to hand our team a few iPads and give them the ability to print only if it’s necessary. To do this, we would need a print button to print the file via AirPrint from the file attachment without downloading it. A print button right here next to the download button on desktop just for simplicity’s sake. (right now I have to download the file to my downloads, open in preview, then print. It works, but I desire more efficiency and I know its possible) On iOS, I can’t find a print button after you press the share button. Does Airtable just not want us using paper? ... View more

Hi All, Airtable definitely needs a way to change the record picker when using linked records from a synced table(or any table for that matter) or even allow a better search mechanism when picking those records. Right now you can search your linked records but not using any criteria of the lookup fields associated with them. Example would be that I have an Employee’s Full Names associated with an Employee ID #. When using the record picker, I can only search by the employee’s ID Number, No criteria matching that employee (First Name , Last Name). I have 250 IDs on file and have to add 20-50 records at a time with data. I cant memorize every employee ID. See Below trying to search with criteria shown in the record picker window I also just learned that if you use a synced table and change the view on that synced table it also changes all the data on ALL other tables that was attached to it. Example: I have employees directory that keeps track of Employee information specifically if they are active or inactive. I have that table synced to another base that keeps track of all employee time on jobs. I have around 8000 records and over 3 years of data. When I changed to synced table view to only show active employees, all of my inactive employees employee data from another table was lost. The record existed but the employee data had vanished. Around 3000 records were gone by filtering a shared tables data. ... View more

Hi, When I create a form with an input of type “Link”, Instead of showing ALL possible records of the target table, It would be EXTREMELY useful to only display records from a specific view of the target table. For example I want my user to be able to link new records ONLY to records that are not already linked. This is a show stopper for me at the moment, because the target table has like 10000 records, while the set of acceptable link targets is only around 10 elements. ... View more

It would be awesome if Airtable’s formula engine could recognize “curly quotes” as the same thing as "straight quotes". When editing formulas on mobile web browsers, curly quotes are the default. And, when copying and pasting formulas that have curly quotes from other places — such as this forum, which changes quotes to curly quotes outside of a code block, or rich-text editing apps which change quotes — the formulas won’t work upon pasting them into Airtable. There have been multiple times where I have been scratching my head in confusion over a “seemingly-perfect formula” that doesn’t work properly, but it is actually failing because the quotes are curly. ...

A Twitter handle won’t launch Twitter Can’t seem to add a photo of a person Forwarded Contacts show subject as “Check out this record from the “Contacts” Table” (that could be better) Transfer a contact? That format useful to bring into other apps? probably not like a VCF) Can’t change the layout of the IOS design. I.e. the First, Last Name and Email take up too much room, can’t they be just across one line? Thanks ... View more

I have a table that was created by importing a spreadsheet, Can I update this table by importing an updated version of the spreadsheet that I used to create the table initially. I get information from an MRP system that can out put to Excel. I use Airtable as a way to easily manage this data for myself and others. I have sent shared links to others so they can access this data as well. If simply created another table from the imported data the links I sent to the others would no longer work. Therefore, it would be better to update the original data. Or would I need to erase all the data, import the new spreadsheet in another table, the copy and paste all the data back to the original table. ... View more

I have around 150 field techs that upload completion reports to my Airtable base. the process needs to be clean and simple as a lot of the techs are subcontractors and just getting them to use my Airtable form can be a challenge. One issue I have is that photos captured within the form are not also stored on the device, unless they take the photo first, then open the form, and select the image from their phone gallery. This process is a little cumbersome. 90% of the time there is no problem but occasionally the form must be failing on submission so the entries do not show up, and when I ask the techs to resubmit they don’t have a copy of the images on their phones. So I need to pay for them to return to site and get photos again. I’ve tried to get them to take photos first, then open the form… But it’s just not as user friendly to do this. Is it possible for photos captured within the form while using a smart phone, to also save to the users device? ... View more
