Love the long text field rich text options. Can we extend markdown to formulas as well? Why The usage could extend way beyond this, but my use cases are summary fields using rollups and formulas. Right now it looks like this: But as ‘Satuses’ scales to track more complicated lists, I’d like it to look more like: Complete 001: Modeling (someone’s name) 002: Modeling (someone’s name) Incomplete 003: Modeling (someone’s name) 004: Modeling (someone’s name) The bold formatting really makes a difference from a readability standpoint. Monospace or tab characters \t would also be lovely to ensure consistent formatting.

Adding the image thumbnail back to the calendar view would be a huge asset to AirTable. This allows users to better utilise their calendar at a glance if they're leveraging workflows that are image based. If real estate is an issue, this could potentially be an optional display that users can toggle on and off. Personally, I would happily exchange text real estate for the image thumbnail in the way I use my calendar. Though I understand others would not.

Short of more granular user permissions (by table, not by base), it would be VERY useful to be able to lock certain records… or even certain fields. We have many, VERY complicated records, that we’d like to use as templates. I want to prevent someone from trying to do their job and accidentally altering the master… They don’t even have to be permission locked…just a button you have to push to MAKE SURE you want to delete/alter it, before you do.

It’d be really useful if there was an option to bulk update field permissions. I have a growing base with a growing number of users, where I need to set editor/read only access at the field level for each user. The base has several hundred fields in so this is quite time consuming. An option to select a user, and the tick each of fields they can edit would be very helpful!

What is the proposed idea/solution? Being able to export a file to .xls/.xlsx How does is solve the user problems? This gives a great way to share a full project overview for people that may not have access to Airtable and will bring over formatting/pictures when/where necessary that .csv export does not. How was this validated? I used to use ClickUp and they had this feature available. Whichever "view" I was on, I was able to export to an xls file to allow editing by other team members that do not use airtable.

Certain blocks require users add an editable (non-formula) field to a table to hold misc data which shouldn’t be directly edited by the user (i.e. the Map Block requires a geocache field). Many Script Block scripts semi-automate or standardize data entry processes to provide a form of data validation or workflow integrity. I think it would be nice if Airtable’s field permissions included a toggle for " Allow this field to be set in scripts/blocks/API" when the field permissions are set to: “Who can edit values in this field > Nobody”. For fields with permissions set to “Who can edit values in this field > Nobody”, there is already a toggle for “Allow this field to be set in records created through forms”, this would work similarly. This will help collaborators who should have the ability to edit data as determined by the script/block do so, but not directly to enforce some measure of data consistency in all the cases where a Formula would be insufficient.

Would be interested in having an NA "Non-Applicable" state for fields such as date, numbers, etc. This is because it is very different to have a field empty or populated with NA. The R language cleanly handles this distinction and that should be replicated in Airtable IMHO.

I built a base to track my medicine but need a time field type to improve it. Any chance that could be developed? You probably want to build in standard time where user can designate their time zone and what is known as military time.

Our company uses many different interfaces to use different tables, but it would be nice if I did not rely solely on one color for the "blocks" in the interface. Having multiple color options allows one to easily identify the contents of a blocked section and to add some variety. I would love it if I can change any individual block to any color schemes I want.
