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

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 don't understand how both btoa() and atob() methods are supported within the Airtable Scripting App Extension, but not within an Automation Scripting Action. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/btoa https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/atob Base64 encode and decode is an absolute staple in system integrations. Can it please be included to the Automation Scripting environment? To get me out of a tight spot, I have used the below function to substitute btoa()   function btoa(str) { let characters = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/'; let result = ''; let i = 0; let char1, char2, char3; while (i < str.length) { char1 = str.charCodeAt(i++); char2 = str.charCodeAt(i++); char3 = str.charCodeAt(i++); result += characters.charAt(char1 >> 2); result += characters.charAt(((char1 & 3) << 4) | (char2 >> 4)); result += characters.charAt(((char2 & 15) << 2) | (char3 >> 6)); result += characters.charAt(char3 & 63); } return result; }   I think that this is rather unnecessary...   ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Summary count of record comments should appear on record lines in a grid in an interface (just like it does when viewing a grid in the base).  How does this solve the user problem? When viewing a grid on an interface, you will know which records have comments. How was this validated? See screenshot.  Who is the target audience? All interface users ... View more

Airtable Automations - Run History Across Automations Add a screen to view Airtable Automation Run History across all Automations, rather than per Automation, as this would allow for better troubleshooting since sequential processing can be derived.

What is the proposed idea/solution? To add a configuration to the List and Grid elements on Interfaces that allows us to transpose the data in the source table. This enables us to present financial data in conventional way where Months, Quarters or Years are column headers in the interface presentation while the data is tied together in rows in the database (for calculations etc).  How does is solve the user problems? It extends the usability of Interfaces to enable conventional financial table views. How was this validated? This transposed view is the industry norm when viewing financial data for months / quarters / years. Who is the target audience? Interface users, specifically those that want to include financial overview as part of their interface dashboards. ... View more
