I’d find it quite useful to be able to embed and/or link to individual records. Ideally, this would be without sharing an entire table. ... View more

For better or for worse, I often have information in one table that I need to transfer to another table. Usually, the two tables have some fields in common, but some unique fields; which means Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V does a column-wise copy of the date, when, in fact, the columns usually don’t match. What does match, however, are the field names. “First Name” = “First Name”, “Last Name” = “Last Name”, etc. I’d love to have an optional copy that ignores columns and matches field names when copying the data. Any fields that don’t match don’t get copied. ... View more

I update some fields dynamically using the API. I would like those fields to be uneditable or locked except via the API. For example, I manage a base called Trips. One of the fields is called “participant count”. Using a cron-driven script, I update that field regularly via the API. I would prefer that no other users could then modify that field. ... View more

Attempts to use Date and Time functions with a date in a Lookup field result in #ERROR! It would be great to have that working. ... View more

I’m finding that Airtable does so many things right, and I want to use it in my nonprofit for client/case/volunteer management, but I’m hesitant to throw all of our eggs in that basket without the ability to locally back up the data—at least once in awhile—including attachments. It would be very valuable to us to be able to download the snapshots, and then restore from them later, if needed. (Note: I’m assuming that snapshots include attachments…that would be key) ...

I love how the expanded view shows an attachment thumbnail (and the first two or three fields) for any linked records. Could we get the same for the embedded card view, which right now just shows the name of the linked record? I’m envisioning using this for a photo directory, where a group/household entry would link to the records of the individual members, showing a thumbnail image of each inside the embedded card view. ...

It would be great if it was possible to FORMAT TEXT (fonts, colors, bold, italics), CELLS (left, right, center alignment, background colors), and BORDERS (bold or dashed lines, colors) within tables. The ability to add extra header lines and/or to FREEZE more cells vertically and horizontally would help, too. I really like the idea of Airtable, but can’t effectively use it over Excel until it has more functionality. ... View more

Hey folks, thanks for a great product. Simple request: Can you please incorporate the ability to create colored and/or highlighted fields? I’d like to call out certain rows within sheets. With the inferior, last generation sheets programs (shameless sucking up) I’d always used colors for this purpose. I realize I could use a column for this, but its a waste of a column in my mind, especially if you are trying to avoid scrolling left to right. Thanks for consideration. ... View more
