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.

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.

It would be great if Airtable had a STDEV roll up field. I would think it would be easy, since the calculation is available (you can set the field summary at the bottom to stdev). To create a manual formula is difficult with variable data otherwise. Please add these feature (as well as other statistics that are already available and calculated in the summary at the bottom of the field).

Hello, can we please request the ability to create an expandable section block within the long-text field type when formatting is turned ON?
Why this is useful: If I have a long text that spans multiple lines, I want the ability to “minimize” it so I can create sections in my notes, some that are expandable.

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!

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’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!!

Increasing the number of automations in a base was awesome! They doubled, which saved me from having to find other solutions. I’m VERY thankful for that. Increasing storage based on plan would be an incredible next step. The pricing structure versus what you get for storage has a huge disparity. Free plans get two Plus gets five Pro gets twenty And enterprise gets one thousand. Pro is in need of a horsepower upgrade - we use Airtable enough to need enterprise, but its price is a cliff. I think the storage should be somewhere around this per base: Free plans get two Plus gets twenty Pro gets fifty And enterprise gets one thousand. I’d take more, but that feels like an absolute minimum. I’d love a way to increase storage on a base, or at least have an option for 100gb or so that we would want so that we don’t have to think about storage or the logistics of hosting it elsewhere. As a database, it is supposed to be our one source of truth. This makes it way easier having the media we need hosted here. A 20gb limit hamstrings that intention. Sure, it’s solved with more bases, but that is annoying and confusing for the end user.

What is the proposed idea/solution? I would like the ability to have conditional grouping when putting together a Find Records action in the automations so I can make more sophisticated look-up of records (i.e., like creating my own view). Also I would like the ability to also "fuzzy match" records in order to find items that might be similar to the user entry. How does is solve the user problems? When using AirTable as a client check in desk, sometimes how they type in their names (whether they use an informal spelling, or have a hyphenated last name or not), it would be good if Find Records could be programmed to look up similar matches of names. Also if Find Records can be conditionally set up, it would avoid situations where it surpasses the 100 record limit. How was this validated? For the conditional grouping, this would work the same way as a personal or regular new view with filter conditions. For Fuzzy records or not, I would suggest lifting coding from the DeDupe Extension that can track for a level of similarity--whether it is in first name, last name or other relevant fields that you want to look up. Who is the target audience? Help Desks, Customer Service, Lobby, Appointments, Check-ins.
