In Airtable, I have tables with many columns – between 50 and 150 columns. Many people are modifying various fields in each record all the time. Let’s say you have 20 people simultaneously changing separate fields within a single record. Now, when I want to review revision history for a given record, I usually only want to see relevant changes to one single field/column for that record. Right now, I have to paginate and filter out changes for all extraneous fields/columns to find specific changes to one specific field/column. This process is really annoying. I’d like a way to either: Show just revisions to a specific field/column for a specific record OR At least some sort of filter mechanism in the revision history view of the record, in order to filter out irrelevant changes to other fields/columns that I’m not interested in OR If you are viewing the record details from a view that has specific fields/columns hidden in the view, then by definition, hide any changes pertaining to hidden fields/columns because they are not relevant for the user – in other words, if users want to see revision changes to specific fields/columns in a record, they would need to make sure those fields/columns are not hidden in the corresponding view. You could then create like a checkbox in the revision history view – something like: “ Hide Field Changes By View”. That way, it would be easy for users to switch between seeing all field/column changes versus seeing only field/column changes relevant to a particular view. ... View more

Hi. I am currently in testing mode with Airtable and have to say: I really like it. There is one thing which I currently came up with and I would like to share: New field type “Action Button” which triggers an action (the one I am thinking of is something like mail the record to someone, sending any kind of answer/feedback … there maybe more actions) which could be very useful esp. when your table is shared via html.

Ciao, It would be great if you could configure linked fields to only populate with records that match certain conditions. Those conditions being values entered in other fields on the same table. EG: Table one Field One = Retailer Field two = Product Type Field Three = Item ID/SKU = this field is a linked record field which only allows the selection of records whose fields match/contain the values entered in it’s shared table. EG: Field 1 Retailer = Allen’s Discount Grocery Emporium Field 2 Product Type = Food Field 3 Item ID/SKU, should only let me select Hot dogs, apples, bread… It should not let me select Rodent Killer XXX manufactured by Howie Liu’s Elimination Station. For me, this seems to be air tables biggest limitation. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? The proposed idea is to show different record details templates within the same interface list depending on specific record criteria, such as a single-select field. For example, if one record's status is "Order in Backlog," when clicked the record detail template would be different than another record with the status "Delivered."  How does is solve the user problems? This would allow for fewer interface lists. In other words, we could collapse multiple lists into a single list without losing the benefit of unique record-detail templates associated with multiple lists. This would help organize reduce "Interface fatigue," where too many Interfaces creates confusion and fatigue. How was this validated? Personal experience. Who is the target audience? Anyone that uses Airtable Interfaces looking for more simplicity. ... View more

I’d like to suggest and request a new, COLOR field, that can be set to accept various color values/standards, previewing the resulting color full-cell. At minimum, I’d expect this field to support the same color strings/syntax as the current Color Palette block, but ideally many more color standards. A deal with Pantone/X-Rite would allow PMS/TCX lookup, something we’ve had to build-out manually, and without the benefit of any real end-to-end color management. Adding this would make Airtable the immediate leader within the creative/product sector. We deal with color calculations daily. Thanks!! A. ... View more

Hi, It would make my life so much simpler if we could write functions to pre-fill default values for fields. At the moment, I have many columns in pairs, one column with a computed “default” value, and the other with an editable value. (When the values are equal, I make the computed field display “…”) It works but it makes my rows really long! -Donald ... View more
