What is the proposed idea/solution? You can "hide identical fields", but not computed fields (which can't be merged). Let users choose to also hide the computed fields. How does is solve the user problems? It will be easier to have an overview of the records when those fields are hidden. Less scrolling ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? The referenced field order can be changed to the selected View by setting "Limit record selection to a view" How does is solve the user problems? The fields you want to see when selecting linked records should be different for each table or View. While "Limit record selection to a view" allows filtering of records, it would be helpful to be able to set the field order as well. Who is the target audience? Users frequently using the link record --- The field order of a table when referenced from a linked record depends on the first View of the referenced table. It would be very helpful if we could set the recently added (I forget when, but it wasn't there in the past) "Limit record selection to a view" on the link record to change the field order to the selected View. This may also be related to this post. Change Field Order on Linked Record    ... View more

I love the new Base Schema block. As a content strategist, it has some really great potential applications. The degree of control in the settings, however, is far too limited to be useful for complex bases—which is likely to be a major use case. Some controls I’d need to have to be able to put this to practical use (in order of priority): Select which tables within a base to map Choose to map all fields, or only non-hidden fields. Apply specific colors to connection types that persist, not just on rollover Apply specific line type (e.g. dashed, dotted, solid) to connection types that persist, not just on rollover Additionally, I’d love to see the following enhancements: Export to PDF or PNG (table stakes for any visualization, if you ask me) Bézier control over the line curves I so want to be able to make good use of this block, and will continue playing with it in more simple bases. From my limited interaction so far, it’s not super usable for the types of bases it would be truly useful for. I do love that I can rearrange the position of the tables, and the interactivity of the lines is nice (though feels like secondary importance to some of the stuff in my list above). Thanks!! ...

Hi there, is there in the future roadmap of airtable development the possibility to upload images, automatically resizing images through predefined settings (crop image, image max dimensions, image quality, auto rename, etc.). Thanks in advance ... View more

Would love the ability to create subheadings under which to group multiple fields. For example, the ability to have a “Channel” field heading, which 4 different fields – Organic, Direct, Social, referral – would appear under. Then those groups/subheadings can be collapsed/expanded, which would simultaneously collapse/expand all the fields that fall under it. ... View more

I love the ability to import images via a URL. One thing I’ve recently encountered is the inability to import images in the WebP format. Use of this image format is quickly becoming (annoyingly) widespread. This would likely require converting the images to JPG on import for storage, but that would be simple enough to code. (See: developers . google . com/speed/webp/docs/using) Currently, I’m having to use a third-party website to convert WebP images to JPG, and that adds another 5-8 steps in the process to import an image via URL. I would rather not have to leave Airtable to import WebP images as this is a function I use a LOT. ... View more

Yo! I have been using Airtable for a little while now, coming from Trello, and I love it. Great work the Airtable team has done. There is one way I believe this already-great program can become even better, though. What about adding an option that allows a Multiple Select category to automatically arrange record data, based on the order the options appear in the dropdown menu? Notice how the “Damage” option appears before “Wounds” in the top record, but then after it in the record at the bottom? It would be of considerable benefit to a-many of us if we could get a tick option in the Multiple Select dropdown menu to automatically sort each record’s cell data. Thanks for reading. ...

For these table features: FILTER BY COLOR BY … we currently have the following options, but they do not cater for tables where many records with very similar substrings can be difficult to separate from each other: contains does not contain is is not is empty is not empty is any of is none of … so it’d be helpful to have the following additional ways to filter: “starts with” “ends with” … for example if I have 1000s of records named by format: YYYYMMDD-hh:mm:ss-[0-9][A-Za-z0-9 -] … I would be able to separate records of a particular year from each other by filtering/coloring on name starts with ‘2022’ ...

First Airtable. is. awesome. I which I knew about it before to help organize my work. Something I feel is missing though is a more powerful approach to deal with string-based functions. For instance, it would be great to be able to use RegEx in the FIND or SUBSTITUTE functions. A use case, e.g., is the extraction of part of a URL to use it as a primary key. It would allow me to name automatically a bunch of website links I wanna store. I.e., there’s a REGEXEXTRACT function in Google Sheet, this is extremely useful for numerous of applications. ...
