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

Two of the major limitations of Airtable when creating a link from one table (“Table A”) to another table (“Table B”) is that: We can ONLY link to the primary field in the other table (“Table B”). To truly unleash massive amounts of power & flexibility & customizability in any database system, we need the ability to MANUALLY CHOOSE which field in “Table A” should be linked to which field in “Table B”. Linking is always done MANUALLY instead of AUTOMATICALLY. Unlike other database systems, Airtable doesn’t automatically scan for matching values in linked fields — a human must manually intervene by manually linking records. Obviously, these changes would graduate Airtable from the realm of “beginner-level database program” into a more “advanced-level database program”, but it would enable us to create all sorts of advanced database solutions that we can’t create now. It would also remove lots of migration headaches when importing/migrating data into Airtable from other advanced database apps. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution?   Introduce a WIdget for iOS/Android! How does is solve the user problems? We have moved over from Asana, that has this, and team members (especially those who are work on site) need to be able to easily see outstanding tasks/create new tasks on the go. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? ... ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Have something similar as Monday's "My Work" tab where I can see all tasks assigned to me across all bases.  How does is solve the user problems? This would allow me to: easily see my workflow and workload access all tasks assigned to me in different bases in one single location stay on top of my priorities and tasks without having to jump from base to base How was this validated? I am not sure what this means, but there are a number of unanswered records in the community with the question on how to see all of my tasks from different bases in one place. The closest to a solution that is available is a table with multiple sync's from the other bases - but this is manual and requires someone to add the table/view sync everytime a new base/table is created. Who is the target audience? possibly everyone using airtable for: customer management project management workflow Systems with approval processes ... View more

I would love to have a feature that would search a given table by a field or set of fields to find and surface duplicate rows. It would then be great to be able to take a pre-defined action on duplicated rows such as delete, or merge. Dealing with dupes is always a pain with large data sets or importing new data into a set where some records may already exist. A way to deal with dupes in a somewhat automated way would be really helpful. ... View more

i would like to be able to resize columns in a batch. this would be more broad than just auto-sizing (Auto column resizing by double clicking border b/w column headers) select-all and resize one column = all columns resize to match double-click column = resize to fit content (or title) select-all and set width = all columns resize to specified size etc. ...

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.
