I love the ability to import images via a URL. One thing I’ve recently encountered is the inability to import images in the WebP format. Use of this image format is quickly becoming (annoyingly) widespread. This would likely require converting the images to JPG on import for storage, but that would be simple enough to code. (See: developers . google . com/speed/webp/docs/using) Currently, I’m having to use a third-party website to convert WebP images to JPG, and that adds another 5-8 steps in the process to import an image via URL. I would rather not have to leave Airtable to import WebP images as this is a function I use a LOT.

Airtable is letting me do about 95% of what I need for creating an app for recruiters to review job seeker profiles. I made the resume the cover image, but even in the record detail view you can’t read the text in the image. If I could write some custom CSS it would give me so much flexibility to fix this and a whole range of other issues!
It’s such a bummer when a platform is SO close to doing what you need but then you have to go write the whole thing from scratch because there’s one critical thing missing that could be fixed with a CSS override. Custom scripts would also be A+! Squarespace allows this and it makes so much possible. They specify that they can’t support pages with custom code, which is fine with me.
I’m going to use Espresso to make the changes. If that works as well as I hope, then I’ll investigate making a browser extension which will allow those overrides to be shared with our team.
Thanks for the excellent product. I’ve not been this excited about a new platform in I don’t know when! I just started telling friends about it yesterday and already four have signed up.

Currently, it does not appear I can directly access forms on a mobile device. If I have the share link, I can access the actual form to do data entry. However, if I don’t have the share link handy, there’s no obvious way to access the form or even the share link. So, the simplest solution would appear to be: If selecting a view that’s a form, (while editing isn’t allowed) allow the user to get to the live form (for data entry) or at least provide the share link in the error message. Please connect the dots here.

Hello
I start to use your application and I have to say it s very very impressive and quite corresponding to our needs
I ve a question: Do you plan some dropbox integration where instead of downloading the file from dropbox, you juste save the weblink so the documents are still stored in dropbox and where they are updated they are everytime up to date.
I actually use URL field to store the link of each file but a kind of small native application would be better (no need to paste and copy)
The functions of grouping and filtering etc are really amazing :slightly_smiling_face:

Please make it an option to select multiple views and change specific configurations.
Use case - I have a base with hundreds of identical views shared with outside customers and the only difference is each view is filtered by the specific customer (so they can only see their information we want to give them). If change one of the filtered fields, I then must manually go into each each view and re-do the configurations.
Right now I have to create a “Template View”. Go into each view and “Copy another view’s configuration” Select the “Template View” Select all to copy configuration Go into the filter and change the customer name back to who I made the view for. Then repeat 100’s of times This takes hours :frowning:
Would be nice to just be able to select multiple views at once and edit specific configurations. Then should only take a minute.
Thanks for listening.

This is kind of related to Better UI/UX for activity feed but more specific.
I’m new to Airtable and a huge part of its appeal is a single place to manage data and content, and to discuss it.
But the width given to an expanded record’s Activity pane is insufficient to make discussion easy – to write or to read – which means discussions are too likely to end up some place else such as Slack or Basecamp.
My experience to date suggests that, on desktop/laptop:
The modal overlay for an expanded record has a fixed width of 838px given to it
The Activity sidebar is given 308px of that
Which leaves just 218px available for text content in a Comment.
That’s enough for only about 30 characters per line of Comment text, and that’s a pain.
Please find a way to grant more width to the Activity pane when there is sufficient viewport width available. It ought to be possible for it to allow an optimal line length of around 65 characters.

I.e. change the order of entries in the Views drop-down menu.
Use rationale: the views get added and deleted all the time, new ones always get appended to the bottom of the list, whereas logic and reason may call for another ordering.

Hi again,
I’d like to know if i can “NAME” and “SAVE” a filter and use it furthermore by selecting it from a list ?
In case it doesn’t exist, i think that it could be helpful as a standard feature for some of us.
Regards
