It would be nice if we had a global filter that we can apply to all the views. You could have the option of having a filter per view as it is, but another feature of a global filter that affects all views. My use case is an editorial calendar with multiple sites. I still need the individual views to have different filters, but it would be nice to have a global filter to only show one website I am working on, while going to each view. This would be an easy, yet very useful feature. One that probably a lot of people wouldn’t realize how useful it is until they tried it.

It would be great if Airtable could hold off applying filters until I have exited the record or row I am editing. Right now if I need to edit a column of values that trigger a filter, I have to edit the values one at a time, slowly, because every time I set the value the record disappears from under me before I can do any other editing on the record or drag/fill other records.

HI, To prevent accidental changes to my tables and bases, it would be extremely valuable to have the ability to temporarily lock it. For example, I’m a real estate agent in NYC and I am going out on a tour with my client. I would like the ability to view my tables but prevent myself from making accidental changes since I will be moving around a lot.

All examples are mine and real.
My example 1 (access to tables):
I need that to my employees. They need to open the table with the tasks in the kanban for task status change (new / work / done), but they should not be able to watch and change anything else.
My example 2 (access to fields):
There are employees table. One of the fields - the salary. I need people to have access to the rest of the column, but could not see salary.
My example 3 (access to records):
The design studio has several people on several projects. It is necessary that the people would see only their team projects, suppliers. They should not be visible to others.
My example 4 (access to records):
There is a network of orphanages. Each orphanage has teachers who should only see their children and not have access to other children of orphanages. Each director of an orphanage should have access to their teachers and do not have access to others.

Would love the capability to reorganize opened records. SmartSuite came out with this functionality and it is very clean and user friendly. They also have sections which would help to default collapse certain sections that I don’t need to see such as my calculations running in the background that are only used to for formulas and automations being run. SmartSuite’s sections structure is clean and a good example of what would work well.

It would be pretty cool if Airtable could dynamically & automatically expand the height of each record’s row height, based on how much information each record was displaying in its longest “long text field” or its longest “lookup field”.
I got this idea from this post here: Vlookup Style Search in the Same Table

The search functionality (if I am not mistaken) currently indexes only across actual columns in each table / base. In case users frequently use the comment function on records (e.g. sales teams), would be great if the search function also indexes comments on each record.
