The issue We're working with list views that show a lot of numeric data for each record. When scrolling down, the header row moves up along with the records, so it immediately disappears from view and all numbers (which don't have any horizontal separator either) become a big blur of numbers.    What is the proposed idea/solution? It would be great if there would be options to: Enable a sticky header Show a subtle vertical line to separate columns Color or otherwise format columns   How does is solve the user problems? I believe any of the above options would greatly help in keeping (large) list views readable. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? To be able to group Interface Designer's pages into sections. Additionally, to access them via hover/clicked dropdown or mega menu at the top when the Interface is published. How does it solve user problems? If a user has multiple pages in the Interface Designer, the user should be able to group them into different sections for a cleaner, more organized view. Like data table views having sections on the left, pages should, too, as they act as an alternative to table views. Who is the target audience? Interface Designer users. ... View more

As an Airtable partner, it would be nice to be able to embed external content into Airtable. Although the platform is very flexible, it cannot do everything. By embedding external content, we can build an app interface with infinite possibilities! For example, a Miro board would enable project managers to have a digital whiteboard while leading meetings and taking notes. Hope my feedback makes it to the right person 🙂 ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? There is not currently an option to add a generic search bar to a custom interface page.  The only option is to have different filter options How does is solve the user problems? It would give users the abilty to search multiple different fields without having to make sure they are typing matching text in the correct filter option How was this validated? User experience.  The photo attatched shows the custom view that is being used, the reason I do not change it to the prefigured Kanaban view is because there is another view below it that I like having on the same page as the Kanaban view. Who is the target audience? Airtable users ... View more

I am glad each table in a base has one key column that must be unique (needed for relational databases), but instead of making this uniqueness requirement only available to the key column, please make this setting available to other fields also. Some discussion on this topic has already been made (see Unique values in a column), but was listed under “Support” instead of “feature request”. ... View more

When adding linked records to a column you can only select one at a time. This means you have to click “Link to a record” and re-enter the search term each time. Would love to be able to hold down “Ctrl” or “Cmd” and select multiple linked records at once. It would be a big time saver. ... View more

Hello @Airtable ! I use Airtable heavily for my personal organization as well as for my business organization (in two different accounts). I often have situations where I need to open an Airtable link (especially on mobile) and find myself with a ‘would like like to request access to this base’ message when I already have access to the base through a different email/password login. This forces me to log out of Airtable, log back in with my other account and then go find the original record/base link again to access the right information. Being able to log into multiple Airtable accounts simultaneously (as I can with my google accounts, for example) and then choose which account I would like to open the link with would Save time finding the information I need Increase my ability to collaborate with different groups using Airtable As I think about the future of Airtable and it’s widening popularity I can’t help but think this should be addressed by the Airtable! Lots of love to the Airtable team - you’re all doing great work! -A ... View more

It would be great to have a field type specifically for JSON (not just Long Text fields). This would allow us to store more complex structures of data inside a single table, including custom properties that we may not know ahead of time. (For example, if we have Users who are sending us custom properties & values that they come up with). I recorded a quick video to walk through the feature: Descript Video for Airtable Feature – JSON Fields - Descript By Michael Walker, October 5, 2022 Thank you, Michael ... View more

This thread really highlighted the need for Airtable to automatically create “back links” (or “reverse links”) when you are creating a self-linking linked record field (i.e. a field relationship that links a table back to itself). All other linked record fields in Airtable automatically create these “back links” or “reverse links”, but they don’t get created when doing a self-relationship within a single table. This is especially crucial for using the Org chart block, which REQUIRES that you create a self-linking relationship within a table. The Org chart block doesn’t even support creating links between separate tables! You’ll notice in the Org chart demonstration video that there are 2 self-linked fields: “Direct Reports” and “Direct Supervisors”. All of that data had to be manually inputted & manually verified by the user, because there is no automatic way to have those 2 fields automatically communicate with each other. If you’re dealing with a very small number of records, it might be relatively easy & relatively trivial to manually input both sides of the links for every record. But once you start dealing with hundreds or thousands of records, it becomes a real chore to start manually managing all of these links. Same problem if you’re trying to BREAK a self-relationship between 2 people. If you delete the relationship on one side, the relationship on the other side should AUTOMATICALLY break. But the way it is now, you actually have to remember to manually break both sides of the relationship. Unfortunately, we only have 2 options for creating backlinks in Airtable: (1) Write a custom JavaScript to handle this for us. Two scripts that do this are available here and here. or (2) For a no-code way of doing this that doesn’t require writing any programming code at all, we can use Make’s advanced Airtable automations, which is a no-code automation tool for Airtable. But all of this should be natively built into Airtable.  I was a FileMaker developer for over 30 years before becoming an Airtable consultant, and FileMaker is an advanced database app that natively solves this problem because backlinks are automatically built into the product. FileMaker solves all the other Airtable limitations as well, because FileMaker is a full-blown programming language with no limits.
