Hi,
It would be great if two tables could share the same ID as a primary key. For example, say we have a client table and a sole trader table.
Not all clients are sole traders, some are limited companies or even individuals. At the moment in time I have a redundant column that acts as a primary key, but the primary key should be the client ID.
Thanks in advance

I have not really used the app that much for this reason. The scroll bar in Android in my nicely-big-display-size phone is really thin and I don’t even know if it can be used to manually scroll. So the only benefit I see for it is to see how far down you’re viewing records. I have 3000+ records in some tables, which makes scrolling a pain.
Can you make a working/wider (whichever applies) scrollbar? Or another way to scroll?

Airtable automatically creates a Sum for Number, Currency and Autonumber fields, even though it sometimes doesn’t provide any useful information. For some numeric info, I’ve used a “Single line text” field to avoid having to change a useless Summary in several Views.
How about if numeric fields had an option for a “default” summary, with “None” as one of the options? Any new View with that field would display the default summary.
This could also be useful for non-numeric fields, e.g. it would sometimes be nice to have an “Empty” or “Filled” summary for all Views that have a particular field.
Thanks.

Most of my tables are sorted by chronological date. I’m having two issues with Airtable’s handling of dates that currently functions better in Google Sheets.
In Google Sheets, I prefer ISO format for dates, but can enter a date of September 8th simply as “9/8” hit return and the date willl convert to “2017-09-08” automatically. Although I prefer ISO dates, typing the full year and hyphen can become tedious after filling a multitude of fields.
In Google Sheets, if I have a range of dates, for example, all the days of the month of September, I can create the first cell of 2017-09-01, and in the bottom right corner if I drag down then it will autofill in date chronologically (2017-09-02, 2017-09-03, etc.)
Would be ideal if Airtable devs could implement these features.
Thanks.

This would be a VERY GREAT FEATURE :
Introducing a little arrow in the “link to another Record” fields in order to collapse/expand linked record ant to see them in a vetical way (without opening an external window) !

Did a little UX study and found that a lot of users don’t use Ctrl/Cmd-C… shortcuts to cut/copy/paste. It amazes me. They know how to do it when taught but they just don’t use it, in Windows, in Word/Excel, on the Web…
Would it be possible to implement cut/copy/paste in the right-click menu?
Thanks!

Is it possible to be able to see who else on my team is accessing my shared bases? I’m new so it’s possible I’m missing something, but I would like to be able to see who is there in real time to avoid stepping on collaborators’ toes (or cells) if we happen to be working on the same tables at the same time. Really missing this handy feature of Google docs/sheets.
And while I’m asking…a very simple chat feature between members of each base would be incredibly useful as well. We’re a global team and don’t have a central location, so as we onboard more of the team, I am spending a lot of time explaining how to change views, etc.
I can set up a video call and screen share and point them to the tables they are looking for, and we can chat in slack or text or email back and forth…but it would be so much faster if I could send them a quick message or two without leaving Airtable.

After submitting a form, it would be cool for Airtable to send me to a View (sorta like “show results after submitting a form” in google forms)
OR
land on custom URL so I can send myself to my own page or View.

Newbie here (obviously).
Is there a way to show a row (or multiple) at the bottom of the current view that could have various calculated/aggregated values from the rows that are currently displayed via the active filters?
For example, I might want to have three rows, always visible (similar to the Summary row, floating on the bottom) that might have, for example: Min, Max, and Avg.

ARRAYUNIQUE does not appear to work on text strings that have spaces. For some reason, it seems to work on text strings that are a single unbroken word.
I really need this for rollup fields that read in data from a junction table, as some of the data repeats. The rollup lists for a single record can be quite long, and the rollup fields are for humans to glance at and use to make decisions, so having several repeating strings makes it a lot easier for a person to overlook important data.
