I use Trello heavily on my team. I love being able to see, at a glance what we’re working on and diagnose when we have a log jam of tasks.
I would move it all to Airtable if I had two features:
“Status” Field Type. I want to set a record as To Do, Doing, or Done and see a progress bar that grows and/or changes color on status.
I want to customize the status based on my team’s work.
Workflow View. I want to view my records and their status as if they are cards on a kanban board. Yes, just like Trello. Hey, they didn’t invent kanban boards, and they don’t have a patent on it (I hope).
I want to drag cards from one status to another.
Airtable Super Powers. Here’s where Airtable would shine in the place that Trello falls.
Trello cards have no context. They don’t impact other resources and other resources don’t impacts cards.
I would love to associate a bigger project with a set of cards, or a particular campaign.
Basically want to link tables. Trello doesn’t have that. Airtable does.
What do you folks think? Would you use a Status Field Type & Workflow View?

I want to make a view where I can say:
Product Status is In Stock
or
Product Status is Backordered
and
Last Sold Date
was within the last week
However, the filter menu locks to ‘And’ or ‘Or’ dependent on your first selection. Is there any chance you would revise this?

The barcode feature in the mobile app is great, however searching for an item to link with barcodes only works on linked items when their primary field is the barcode. Barcodes tend to be nondescript, and it makes little sense that they become the primary field, as they then show up all over the place.
Why don’t the search field search multiple indexes, letting the user specify a “searchable” Boolean on fields other than the primary could work. If a barcode column was searchable you could enable the barcode scanner.

I have several use cases where it would be helpful for users to quickly “flag” records. It would need to be such that multiple users/collaborators can flag the same record.
Example use case. One table is a list of board games. We want to track how many people are interested in playing each game. Currently, we’d have to a) create a User table and then each user would have to b) choose their name from among many in a “Want To Play” field in the Game table. We’d like for them to be able to accomplish this through a single click.
Since Airtable should recognize them as a unique entity through their login/username, this may already be available? I don’t see where user information can be accessed/utilized as a table/linked database, however. This functionality has limitless uses for those who want to be able to track the choices, actions, etc. of the users/collaborators.

Hi. Amazing software.
One thing I’ve long dreamed of is a database that can interact with spreadsheets. Add them as attachments, open them from within the database, get data from and put data in certain fields.
It would be a simpler way to do some calculations.
As far as report printing goes, even that could be done as an A4 spreadsheet.
Thanks!

You support 11x17/Tabloid. Please add support for 12x18 and 13x19/Super B/A3.
Many companies, particularly design studios, stock large-format paper in their copiers, ideal for in-person presentation of Airtable view data.

Are they called callbacks?
What I’m interested in is being able to call a function on my server when a record is added or changed or whatever.

I’m using Airtable to track leads in my company.
Using a form view, my salespeople add interactions to a table. One of the first things they click on is a date field where they put the current date and time.
I would love to have a column at the end of the row titled Next Contact Date that would use a rule like =Contact Date + 15 days.
Is there any way to do that I’ve missed, or is this kind of thing on the roadmap?
