I’d like to be able to automatically format all email field type data lowercase. This would allow me to more easily use email addresses in third party software programs - some of which recognize camelcase and some of which do not.

Hi! Yes I said it - I need some unstructured in Airtable! I would like a “free form” view like a Canvas view with the option to add relations between record. I like Airtable because is so organized and structured but sometimes it’s not nice (and creative) to be unstructured :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I would use it for a more open brainstorm or mindmap session that it could then organize more in grid view or the like. The process would be just to add and group records before you had defined all the field data. Sometimes you just want to get started with something I like the way calendar works where you have a menu with the records on the side that you can drag in and out. So instead of the calendar, it would just be an infinite canvas.

Hello!
We have a total view of run Automation in the Usage section of the Billing page. But it’s for all table, and all automation together.
I would really like it to be more specific.
To my need, I would like it to be shown in the Automation tab, for each automation. The number of runs executed so far for the period. It would allow us to monitor which automation are consuming most of the limit as well as seeing if some automation are running more than expected, etc, etc.
The total for each table should also been available for the same reason! The limit is pretty low, it would be very useful to see where it is spent!
Thank you 🙂

It would be nice to have an easy way to see what other fields a certain field is being used in. Ex: If I have a field called Start date and this field is used in the formulas for three other fields, it would be nice to be able to click on the Start date field and see what those other fields are.
Otherwise, if I need to check where a field is used, I end up having to check all 200 other formula fields in my table (not to mention the other tables in the base that may be using lookup/rollup fields)

Have you ever thought of the possibility to charge an amount per block as an alternative for those who use Airtable mainly for personal matters and would not pay for a yearly subscription? Thanks in advance,

I’d like to be able to edit images in order to re-crop and rotate them.
There is a airtable help article saying this is not supported and asking users to re-upload images. This is a pretty annoying workaround.
Whilst the web app at least allows cropping and rotation of images during initial upload, the iOS apps do not. And you never know the orientation of an image coming from an iphone - there is even an unresolved issue I found in this forum about this.
So users who want quality photographs in their databases, who therefore use iphones to take photos - cannot crop, cannot rotate, cannot edit later and are never 100% sure of the orientation of their images.

I have a resource list that includes a lot of urls. Instead of showing the long awkward urls, is there a way to still have the url for each record but perhaps a single word like Go that displays?

Continuing the discussion from Base level revision history: I know I can see the history of each record on the right side of the expanded view, but I’d like to be able to view the entire history of the base. I would also like to view the entire history for a particular user. Are either of these things currently possible? I’m hoping I’m just missing them… Splitting this discussion off from the discussion of revision history for entire bases, as it’s a slightly different feature request!

What is the proposed idea/solution? Linked Records, Lookups and Rollups are currently sorted in the order in which the linked records have been linked. However, this is many times not enough, as we need a different way in which to show the data! The proposed solution is to have a sorting feature within the lookup (or even linked record, or rollup) to show the data differently -e.g. alphabetically. How does is solve the user problems? Will allow users to show their data in a way that makes more sense to the end user. How was this validated? Multiple Community Posts requesting for help/guidance on how to sort such values (which they actually cannot)! Who is the target audience? Users with specific needs on how data is displayed.

It would be very helpful to have a configuration that sets the default mode of adding a NEW record within a Grid View to be the Expanded Record view. Viewing data within a Grid View is awesome, but adding a new record inline within a grid view is not helpful. When entering many new fields, it's a better user experience to enter within an Expanded Record view. As it stands today, one must click the "Add Record" button and then click the "Expand Record" arrow to get to this view. This is not a good user experience. Allow the view to have a configuration that sets the mode in which new records are presented - either inline grid or expanded.
