We need the graphs to present the data values on each bar or bie chart, now you need to move the cursor on the graph to know the values which will not be useful in case you present those graphs in a separate presentation by cropping them out into a predestined presentation slides.

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.

Is it possible to import fonts natively or through a workaround for the page designer block? Looks like it’s just google fonts? Thanks for any insight.

Within an Automation Script, it's frustrating that we still encounter the inability to update the Single Select or Multi Select field options, with the error returning; "Airtable "Error: Cannot update field config from scripting automation" This limitation forces the user to reconsider the field type, with the alternative solution usually swapping it into a Single Line text field. Interestingly, it is possible to use an Automation Update Record action to do this exact same process, but for whatever reason it's not possible for an Automation Script to execute this very same process. Can this limitation please be reviewed and reconsidered by Airtable Developers? Without this feature, it limits the use of Single Select and Multiple Select fields within bases heavily dependent on Automations.

As a business user, I would like to select a record from a list and show as list of related records on the same screen so that I can see important details without having to navigate to the linked table. While Airtable currently shows the primary field for the linked data in a column, I would like to see a tabular view of all the data for the linked records. Master-detail views are common in business systems (and the default view for products like SalesForce), and this feature would allow Airtable to displace our separate products for CRM, database management, etc. Displaying records from selected linked tables for a single item (e.g., in the record detail form) would also be a satisfactory solution.
This is similar to this request (Scrol through clients and show details in separate window) but more general purpose.

As a workspace owner, I would like to restrict access to specific tabs based on user role so that I can protect sensitive information without having to create a separate base.
This is going to be needed for many serious business use cases.

Please allow accessing headers (for example for authorization check purposes) and raw body (if I don’t know the exact JSON structure in advance) in Automations.

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.

It would be useful to have a “Button” field type that you could use to trigger an action (e.g., perform a calculation, run a Block, trigger a Zapier Zap, run a script, run small automations, etc.). Even though some of this functionality can currently be hacked-together using other fields like checkboxes in conjunction with Views and Zaps, this is something that has to be explained ad nauseam to new users. So, instead of having a “Submit” checkbox in a workflow that can accidentally ticked, having a distinct “Submit” button would be much, much more clear to novice/infrequent users.
This is a feature currently offered by Coda.

I would like the ability to filter Kanban STACKS. When working in a Kanban view with multiple screens of stacks (for example, 30+ stacks), it can be quite laborious to drag and drop cards from the “uncategorized” stack to my stack of choice. Being able to collapse stacks does help, though this is tedious with so many stacks. If there was an option to filter out stacks, like one can filter records/cards, that could make the process of dragging records smoother.
Alternatively, an “Expand/Collapse All Stacks” button would be efficient, allowing the user to easily collapse and expand all stacks for ease of navigating the view.
