What is the proposed idea/solution? The current Interface Designer is great, but it can be a bit difficult to make every field we need visible organize on a blank page that fits our needs. It would be great if there were widgets that allow for the collapsing of a group of fields or organizing them into clickable pages. How does is solve the user problems? Make it easier to demonstrate steps and phases to projects. Instead of having every stage laid out on one part. Clicking right or left or collapsing and uncollapsing parts of the record can show different applicable fields. How was this validated? Simply that if one "page" is not completed per guidance set by the creator, one cannot move on to the next phase. or just organizing field attributes in a box that will allow for page creation. Who is the target audience? Companies that use AirTable to create work flows for employees

What is the proposed idea/solution? Currently, there's no way for an element (i.e. a Kanban element) to be connected to multiple filter elements. This would be useful for example if a user needs to create an interface with multiple sections. The interface having a main general filter affecting all the elements in each section, and each section containing secondary particular filter elements. The connection here would be "AND" between the filter elements. How does is solve the user problems? This would allow making the interface much simpler, instead of repeating the same filter elements over and over again across all the filter elements of the page, a general filter would be set at the beginning of the interface and the following optional/secondary filters would be left for each section across the interface. Currently the interfaces with this approach are super repetitive and a user needs to apply a single filter multiple times. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? ...

We use RabbitMQ a lot to take action when certain record events happen. For example, when users are created in a table, this sends a message which triggers account creation in other systems. At the moment, we use scripting automations to send POST requests to our RabbitMQ HTTP API. This is cumbersome, and there's no way to listen to events without creating webhooks. We would love first-class AMQP integration in Airtable. This would look like: In automations, the ability to send an AMQP message with a routing key and payload Ability to listen to an AMQP topic and take action

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow users to edit certain fields directly from the Kanban card without needing to open the card. Currently the only field that can be edited is the single select field that groups the cards (a user can drag and drop the card and edit that field). All other fields need to be edited by opening the record. This request is both for Views and Interfaces. How does is solve the user problems? For "Trello" minded users this is a must because they are used to making quick changes on a card without needing to leave the kanvan view. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Kanvan / Trello minded users

Currently an automation can update records in another table of the same base, but it is not possible to update a record in another base. Please make this possible so that we don't have to depend on third-party solutions (e.g. Make/Zapier). Thank you!

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...It would be very helpful to have kanban views be able to open to collapsed cards. I have two views that are great and useful, How does is solve the user problems? ...but collapsed cards would limit the amount of time searching for the desired one. How was this validated? ...by the time that it takes to search for the kanban, or time it would take to collapse all the cards Who is the target audience? ...everyone who has kanban views that contain large amounts

What is the proposed idea/solution? Make the Page Designer extension bi-directional. How does is solve the user problems? This would allow a user that creates reports from records to make changes to a record and the resulting report directly on the report itself. You could then potentially make edits to hundreds of fields on a record from a single page view that is highly customizable. I find there is far too much scrolling required when there are many fields that need to be filled in or changed, so the Page Designer extension seems like the easiest way to make the most customized and condensed views of a record as possible, and things like text fields, check boxes, and drop down fields could be very easily manipulated from this type of view. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Users that create reports from records

In Interface designer, when I am configuring my record detail, I keep trying to re-order them the way I do in views by dragging and dropping in the list butwhen I click the row it pulls it off the list. Might be a change to make it not look like that fields option or to let you move fields in that way.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ... How does is solve the user problems? At the moment, Page Designer cannot successfully or easily do the following: - Attach a generated letter to the AirTable record - Allow for multiple pages in a letter - Built-in creation for company headers and footers--be able to input Corporate logo. - Template creation -- being able to create a letter that has a ready place for an address line, sent date, etc. How was this validated? ...
