A very simple feature that is already available on the desktop view is assigning a color to each record based on certain parameters. Unforuntitly the record color doesn’t show up in the mobile app for some reason. I am even ok with the fact I can’t edit the record color on the mobile app, but at least let me see what color has been assigned to each record on the mobile app. Is this not already possible? Thanks!

I think this has been posted already, but I wanted to recreate the topic and give more details so more users can find themselves actually wanting the same thing. I’m sure many companies (like ours) fell in love with Airtable first they saw the great features it has. When you see how you can greatly simplify project, database, or table management in general, you realise that with Airtable you can save a lot of your owns or your employees’ time. But then… When I started to create some big tables, I found out this app lacks some simple regional options such as: Cannot change the decimal separator (not every country uses a “.” dot) Cannot set a custom date format (not every country in Europe uses MM/DD/YYYY) In Germany we use MM.DD.YYYY and this must be respected. I know there is a workaround to create another column and use DATETIME_FORMAT() formula to reformat the date from original column - but this is not a solution. Strings like month or day names should be translated to the chosen language of the base. So if you ever implement Regional and Language Options, please make it so users can change it for a base, and not whole program. So, before we migrate completely to Airtable, and switch to one of Business plans - we’d like these fundamental options implemented. Of course, we already are using Airtable, but just to create base concepts that we will use once this is implemented. Thank you for your time, and please make this a priority.

I’m imagining being able to access the data in a linked record in a similar way to how you access child properties of objects in many programming languages. Example You have an ORDERS table and a PRODUCTS table. PRODUCTS contains Item Name, Item Code and Price columns. The ORDERS table has a Linked Record field called Products. You could then access the Products properties within a formula field in the ORDERS table like this: Products.{Item Name} Products.{Item Code} Products.Price

Currently, I have to filter my to-do list by date on mobile.
Then on the rare occurrence, I do view my to-do list on the calendar format on the desktop of the primary field is the date it’s pretty useless :frowning:
What would be ideal would be to have the calendar view available on mobile.
That way I’d be able to view my to-do list in the same format whether I’m on mobile or desktop.
Thanks.

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.

Thanks for a great product! I have created a fair number of automations and my list is growing longer and longer. Unfortunately, they are shown in order of when they are created, and so the list is a mess. It would be nice to be able to reorder the list manually so they are shown in a manner that makes sense to the creator. Adding the ability to put them in folders would be nice too, but I won’t get greedy. Thanks again for a great product. I love Airtable!

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.
Michael

What is the proposed idea/solution? Currently, Maps extension (which utilizes Google Maps API) supports dynamic marker size "by field"'; however, this field may only be a static `Number` (or equivalent such as `Rating`). A computed number such as `Count` should be eligible as a source field. How does is solve the user problems? In my case, I am trying to size markers based on a `Link` to a separate table. I wish to count the number of linked records as the determinant of map market size. How was this validated? Tested with four columns: Number, Single line text having number values, Rating, and Count of linked record. Number and Rating are eligible fields for `by Field` map marker size configuration option, the others are not (grayed out). Who is the target audience? Any user of Map extension.

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.
