When we were using Microsoft Access it had really simple Design View interface on a table to manage the table structure, ordering fields, adding new fields, setting the datatype etc. I’m not looking for all the same functionality but I’m reminded of it when using Airtable managing views on field-heavy tables. Managing the fields on these tables via the Hide Fields dropdown menu is slow and clumsy and my browser freezes when I’m pulling fields up/down the list. With the table view sprawling horizontally there’s too much lateral scrolling for what should be such a simple operation. The multi-select feature for fields made a bit of a difference, but being able to view the fields in a way that better utilises screen area would be a bit improvement for me. I would love to see a dedicated design view for an Airtable View. I’d take that over the Hide Fields menu any day!

VIEWS Selector UI Comp: PERMISSIONS position of the tooltip text isn’t always very good: Just Take a look at screens: BAD: tooltip position at VIEWS Selector UI Comp first render: GOOD: tooltip position after Mouse right hover: When you access VIEWs Selector often, it’s one more gesture you have to learn to simply see your views. Is there some way for User to deActivate these Tooltips ? I would prefer Airtable would fix first Tooltip position when appearing to UI.

When writitng code at Script step window, there are many redundant space in “Output” field, but the Code window is very narrow. Even usual
let query = await TABLE.selectRecordsAsync({fields:FIELDS});
doesn’t fit at 100% zoom, so if feels less comformatble. Of course, there are different display devices and different needs, so the posibility to adjust width would be better

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

Is there currently a way to show multiple color codes for each record on grid view? It seems somewhat pointless to just have the option to have a color code “alert” for one thing, even if there is a hierarchy for what color shows. I need to be quickly alerted of multiple things!

It would be awesome to be able to expand linked records when they appear in lookup fields. Currently you can only expand linked records from the card they are directly linked to.
For example, given the tables Family, Person, and Hobby. Hobbies are linked to a Person. People are linked to a Family. The Family table then looks up all the hobbies of the people in the family, but you cannot expand any of the hobbies to see more information about them.

We would like the ability to color code the same record differently using single select in a single calendar view by tracking multiple date fields (or the same date field used multiple times with labels).
Applying a single select color in a Calendar View currently places that coloring over all date fields being tracked in the view. We would like the ability to set a single select coloring to a specific date field being displayed.
Our use case is we are attempting to track the status of different staff members on a specific date, so we can use the same date field four different times (labelled by person) and apply a different single selector status to each version of the date field.
