Occasionally in our video production database, we find the same project is represented by two different records – often both with partial information filled out in separate fields. It would be immensely helpful to have an option to merge two similar records into one, without having to manually copy and paste all relevant info. ... View more

I understand how to copy a view configuration to another view. I would like to be able to do the same between two separate tables. This is the situation where I found the limitation, and although there is a workaround I am trying to do this without duplicating data or efforts on separate tables within the base. I have a Project Management Database in which the first table is a list of “Projects” with a drop down list to assign one of 9 colors to each project. In the view configuration for that base I “ color the records the same as ” the color field. In the same database I have a table with a list of “Tasks” in which I have a field which links “Projects” and a lookup table to show the color for each project. In the view configuration for that base “ Records are assigned the first color that they match ” and I match the color using the Project color lookup field. I copy that view configuration to a Calendar and Gantt view and I have a Tasks calendar and gantt chart color coded by project. Swell! In the same database I have a table with a list of “Subtasks” and a bunch of other tables which all link back to the same Projects table. I would like to be able to copy the view configuration from the “Tasks” table views into the other tables without either recreating the view configuration for each table or copying the drop down “Color” field from the original “Projects” table to each of the other project related tables. Is copying a view configuration to another table a feature that is in development or does anyone have a workaround that allows linking back to one table without having to manually duplicate view configurations or fields on all of the other tables? Thank you in advance for any feedback! ... View more

When using “Color/Select field” on a custom view, you can only choose single-select fields. Adding lookup fields leading to single-select fields would be nice. My use case: I have a list of people assigned to groups. The group table has a single-select field named “Color” where each option has its own color. I want a view showing people colored according to the group they belong to. In a more simple case, I would use a single-select field named “Group”, where each value would have its own color. But here, as I need to store informations about groups, I need them to have their own table. ... View more

I love that the Automations and Data and Interfaces are now on the top nav bar - what would be even better is that if they remained there when looking at a specific interface and there was also a return to home on there too the navigation from a given interface to the underlying data or to another base is very clumsy. ...

My primary key differentiator of Airtable versus Google Sheet is the ability to upload attachments on the row. While images work well. Video attachment doesn’t play and requires downloading. It would be great to have this feature to at least have everything in Airtable available in term media viewing. ... View more

When I am searching for a linked record, I can only search if I know the first field (locked) for that table. However, when I start typing, I can see other fields listed in the options for each record that comes up. I’d like to search by those other fields, that will still get me to that linked record, not by just the first field. Example. Many of the linked records are listed like XMANS, XMAND, MANGS, UMIMG, UMIMA I can’t remember all of these codes, but I know what I am searching for - so if I typed something like “Ear Mite” it would show me possible linked records to choose from, of which I would select UMIMG. Hopefully that makes sense - will try to attach an image. ... View more

I’d like to be able to create the following column: Product(s)/Quantity (Key/Value Multi-Select) Oranges: 4 Apples: 2 Oranges:3 Bananas: 1 Why Alternatives are Insufficient Multiple Columns Separating the product from the quantity means that data is disassociated unless each option has it’s own columns (Oranges, Oranges Quantity). So solutions are verbose and the bases grow unnecessarily wide. Advanced Linking Another approach would be to separate each product as its own line item (or table row), or even split them out to separate tables. All of this is too much to ask from a client using a form view or a non-Airtable savvy user. ... View more

Hello! Airtable provides an incredible base for information. Sometimes, we need to use them, combine them and work over them creativelly – for example in a text, using that information freely. I would grately appreciate a posssibility to: Mention specific records (of any tables of a base) freely in the long text field type – to tag them by @ anywhere in the text and get active links. Display a long text field in a better-arranged, more article-like view, meaning it to be (optionally for the column) larger and more writing-and-reading-oriented (in the full-record view), not only as tiny as other field types. Enjoy richer text formatting in the long text field type, such as simple text coloring. That could take Airtable to a whole new level, in case of using stored information not only in bulk ways, but also such creatively. Now, for example, I have a table of books, table of authors, table of articles and table of their concepts, but I can’t use Airtable for developing these concepts and writing these articles, using interconnections across the text, yet so few improvements would be enough! (Yes, I can attach some documents, but it’s very unhandy, regardless of missing records mentions.) I believe that such an update could help a lot of people, who work with text (from writing to analytic, research, marketing, devlelopment or study reasons) or who just want to make notes and docs about their data! What do you think, people? Thank you for your support! ... View more

I’d love to be able to create a column, that when linked to a URL column for Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, rolled-up the follower-count, and updated live. This would be HUGE for everyone using Airtable to track social media. In our case, we’re leveraging Gallery View to build a casting base, but we need to be able to sort my total influence. Right now, we’re entering the follower-counts manually, and they grow stale the second you hit return. ... View more
