Hello All, Hello Airtable. You have changed my life! You have allowed a small team that handles $20-100m in grant funds each year composed of 80-120 major projects to come out of the dark ages (excel and MS Access) and increase efficiency, decrease errors, and significantly increase job satisfaction and sustainable work stress. Everyone who uses it is happy, as are our trustees and decision makers. A state agency making this kind of change/improvement in such a short time (since Dec 2020) is a minor miracle. Thank you. But this morning I am dismayed to see a reversal of progress, in my opinion, in a very basic function: The table selector behavior. its now a search, instead of a select. Doh! I spent A LOT of time color coding , arranging and training to be able to get the entire team working within our 49 tables (each member uses maybe 4-6, but they all need to be there, with the first 15 being the most used). I cant get the table list to pull back up so here is a screenshot with just searching for “A”. As the developer, I cannot always recall what every table is called. I really need to have a way to view all tables in order and select from there. This is super critical basic behavior that existed yesterday, but not today. Search function? Awesome! But maybe have that as a top row ‘narrowing’ option (like the rest of Airtable does) instead of opening a blank box? Logic has it that most of us will have our main/most used tables in the first 3-6 tables, so why not show us those anyway? Instead of that fun/demoralizing sideways empty table. Poor thing… haha. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy to have new stuff rolling out. Gantt charts in views and calendaring, for example, are recent updates that have made a huge difference to us. As were View bins and favoriting. (related topic: Tabs now DO follow your click/selection, and the highlighted table appears at the top left when you are there. This was a previously submitted bug from me and appears to be fixed. YAY and thank you!! :clap: :clap: ) And lastly, a shot of our base schema which is either a humble brag or a very nervous laugh/realization of how this monster has grown: Thanks!! Damon ...

If I use a Lookup on a field of Single Select, the resulting lookup should take on the characteristics of a Single Select in so much as it should take on the colors of the parent field and be able to be used in a Kanban view. I don’t expect that it be editable but I do expect those other things. Having the lookup field be just text/numeral is too basic. ... View more

Filter Show/Hide Fields by Field Type The ability to filter the fields displayed in the Show/Hide vertical menu from the features bar on a Table. This would work in conjunction with the search functionality. This is handy when a Table has many fields and specific searching for specific field types. Conceptually this could be a dropdown list of multiselect field types OR a box below the search bar that has the different field type icons to select. Example: Filter only for Fields Types = Formula ... View more

Hi I am finding I am using Zapier to automate stuff in a client project and it would be much more useful if the integration were of the Instant type (as some other database products have with Zapier). I have also been reading about Push Zaps which can be triggered directly and don’t need a trigger - if it were possible to add an after update event to fields and tables (and perhaps a button object as well) which would allow an Airtable user to specify a Zap to run with that event. Example use cases I have an app where a user can add an article to a table and the app needs to then work out which clients are due to receive that article based upon some logic (Javascript largely) in a Zap. I specialise in HR software generally - in a leave app you need to be able to create records for each day of a leave (so that you can properly analyse it). This involves comparing the date for each day with the employee’s working pattern and also a list of public holidays to determine which ones are actually leave days. This should happen immediately when the ‘parent’ record is created. I believe that this would greatly increase the flexibility of the product. ... View more

I’m trying to create a time sheet for my employees in airtable and one thing I wish I could do with the page designer is limit the records that are displayed within a linked record table is to limit the results to a view from the linked table, that way we can filter out old time sheet entries and only display ones from last week. There is an option to sort the data in the table, but no option to limit the data to a specific view. That would be helpful! Let me know if you agree! ... View more

This would solve many issues with ‘New’ records disappearing in Kanban Views (because they don’t meet a Filter requirement). Would also make Airtable a fierce task management tool (finally!) ... View more

I see that dependent on the plan you have Bases have from 2 weeks to 1 year revision history log. Are there any plans to extend this to indefinite? It is sometimes useful to check the timeline of changes and inputs and if this could be tracked throughout the life of the base this would add to its probity. ... View more
