in the ‘button’ field type, I’d love to see an option to include a secondary confirmation button on click of the main button. This would prevent bad consequences related to accidental clicks on buttons. Most of the time, the buttons I include in my tables trigger quite elaborate automations and I’d like a simple way to make sure that my users don’t accidently press the button and trigger a cascade of unwanted changes. The confirmation window could even include a customizable message for the user. ... View more

When viewing an individual record, the Field Type icons are really making it confusing for my users. In particular, the Checkbox icon looks like a checkbox that has already been checked. So my users look at the record below, and assume the project is “done”. Similarly, the Single Select icon looks like a dropdown menu, and users keep trying to click it. Honestly, I don’t now why you need to identify the field type at all. But at very least, we need icons that don’t look like data or like UI elements. ... View more

I have been using Zapier successfully to implement Airtable to Airtable automations (creating records for multiple customers etc) for a client and I have come across a case where it would be fantastic if there were a Find Records (Plural) which would return a comma separated string of record IDs (or even better an array of objects) which could be used in subsequent Zapier steps to do some process on all records. Mentioning the Array of Objects above, I have had to write Javascript in Zapier to convert the strings you return from linked fields into these - it would neat to have an option for the step to return these as arrays of objects instead to remove the need for this in some cases. ...

It would be amazing if Airtable had the ability for records to AUTOMATICALLY link to records in other tables, once Airtable knows what “match criteria” we’re looking for. Right now, Airtable requires us to manually link every single record by hand. ... View more

Airtable is changing the face of software applications by separating data from form. The Gantt, Timeline, Calendar and Kanban views are awesome. Why have special apps for these functions when your data underneath can be visualised as needed! My product suggestion is that a Network and Tree View be added. OR OR Technically these are all Directed Acyclic Graphs and there are myriads of use cases where business data forms either a hierarchy or a flow graph. Organisation Charts Bill of Materials Work Breakdown Structure Product classification systems Task networks (which complement the Gantt View) etc etc. Anyone else see value in a data driven view like this?

Background: It has been raised a couple times before (here, here, here, here and here) but it is still not implemented. Feature request: Ability to specifiy a default value for date fields. We have default values for single line text field and number field, it is reasonable to ask for the same feature for date fields. Ideally let us put a formula there, such as: CREATED_TIME() DATEADD(TODAY(), 2, ‘week’) ... View more

Grouped records and the summary bar - functionality here is great, but the only way to sort the grouped records is by the order of the grouped by field options. I’d like to be able to sort by the numerica values in the summary bar (e.g. revenue or # of records) ... View more

My use-case: I’m using Airtable to describe a detailed flow. Each row is a process step or a decision question. I added various columns, and also a Goto column for the next step. While this is an ok solution for my needs, it’s also tedious because I can’t graphically view the table as a flowchart, and because I need to manually maintain the Goto column (e.g. if I add a row, the numbering changes). I’d love to have a flowchart view built into Airtable. Example implementation: Add a “Linked Row” column type (well, chose a better name:-) that’s defined as linked to a different row. This link would automatically be maintained if the column is moved or deleted. Add a Flowchart View that would create a graphical flowchart view of my table with rows converted into boxes (the contents of the box would be the Name column? - TBD) and with lines connecting linked rows. Bonus points if you also do the following: A flowchart “type” column for: Process/Decision/etc. In case of a Decision (e.g. Yes/No), the Linked Row would allow linking multiple rows Linked Row would also allow tagging a link with text: e.g. “3:Yes,4:No” ...
