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.

I imagine lots of people use Airtables to keep track of ordered lists that they want to filter, reorder, and remanipulate, but ultimately return back to the original ordered list.
Further, I imagine that from time to time they want to change how that ordered list is ordered…
ENTER THE RANK TYPE! It:
only accepts integer values
when a number is changed, if increments everything at or above it!
A table could even have multiple rank columns for different dimensions! It’s like magic! Orderly magic!

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.

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’

Currently, if you are using an AirTable form, and a linked field is included in that form, you can link records via the form. See the screenshot below. You can see “Base 3” is an option from the other table. However, it would be very convenient to be able to Add a new record from within that form (see below)

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.

Link fields in other tables show up as options for a Lookup field, but not the link fields to the self-linking table. I see a feature request for Rollups on self-linking tables (Roll Ups for Fields Linked Within The Same Table). Is there no way to use the linked field within the table for Lookup at this time?

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add additional timescales to the timeline views - particularly at the small end of the scale, for planning day-to-day tasks and single day events. Currently the smallest timescale is one day split into hours. We need 12 hour and ideally 6 hour timescales too, split into smaller chunks (ideally 5 min, but would be okay with 15). How does is solve the user problems? Currently the timeline view is clunky and difficult when planning items with only an hour or two duration, and the view doesn't provide enough room for details to be written into the box. Adding smaller timescales would fix this problem with minimal additional work for the development team and a huge increase in usability at the smaller timescales. How was this validated? Common sense and regular user frustration. Who is the target audience? Anyone with a need to plan items/tasks/events over a smaller time scale using the timeline view.

I want to insert images into an automated email. I have the email set up. I have used the markdown syntax for very basic formatting. But we really need to add a signature line that includes our company logo.
