Links are messy so the ‘Open URL’ function for the new Button Field is great. Unfortunately it only supports one link at a time. So when I have a lookup or rollup pulling links from another table, we’re back to fishing through messy links instead of getting to use a button. Ideally multiple buttons would appear - in the same way that multiple linked records can existing within one field. Note the top ‘Open URL’ button is disabled: ... View more

I use the Long Text field to capture notes in my records. Getting RTF was a huge win, thank you developers! Now I am curious if there is a way to make this field full screen within a given record. I’ve tried the Page Designer block, but that only let’s me view the field, not edit it. Thanks! ... View more

I am very glad Airtable has added options to the possibilities for prefilling forms, especially the ability to prefill linked records. However, it seems this functionality expects the record index string as the prefill query parameter. I’m happy to have someone point me to the right way to do this if I am mistaken, but if I am not, I would find it very useful to link records by record ID. This would make scenarios like this possible: enter the One part in a One to Many data relationship in a first form; redirect the first form to https://airtable.com/formForManyPart?prefil_link={record_id} on success; enter one Many part correctly linked to its One. Our exact usage scenario is to allow students to request resources for a project, with the ability to add the project to our DB first if it does not exist yet. Having that newly created project linked straightaway to the requested resources in the form would take away a lot of friction. ... View more

I keep running into this “brick wall” because recursive structures are necessary to many of my bases because many of the data I am managing are naturally hierarchical in nature (XML, JSON, folder/directory paths, org structures, etc). I understand that endless recursion can kill the platform but I would suggest that the limitation should be done at runtime and detect a maximum # of levels of depth before giving out an error. Otherwise, this tool becomes severely limited for some applications. Here is a simple example with 1 table “Employee”: https://airtable.com/invite/l?inviteId=invD1UFeDZHdOkhuD&inviteToken=f09215f8c21ddc2de45b656c06b84fdbaaca3330f1e28b1d86190a620a3fffd2 The column Manager is a link to the same table (Employee). The column ManagerPath is a lookup to the Manager link’s Path column. The Path and ManagerPath columns are currently not correct because I cannot enter the correct formula for Path because of the “circular reference” error. The formula for the Path column should be: IF(Manager != "", ManagerPath & "->", "") & Name Given the above formula, the values of Path and ManagerPath would have been: I think this should be a valid scenario and that the recursion should be allowed (up to a pre-defined limit of levels to prevent endless recursion/loop). ...

I think It would be very powerfull to let adding any kind of block (e.g. graph, timeline, map) inside a Page Designer block. I’m experiencing the need to display a lot of information related to record in a Page Designer with the necessity to add graphs displaying additional information (related to records of course).

I have a table with a few optional text fields, and want to create a formula column that concatenates the existing values in those fields with a space separator. It would be great to do this as: ARRAYJOIN(ARRAYCOMPACT([Field1,Field2,Field3]), " ") But this results in an error, presumably because the array functions are used outside of a rollup column, or because array literals composed of field names is not supported. The workaround for this is very nasty, requiring a lot of IFs in order to test whether each field is populated before adding the space separator. More flexibility with array literals and array functions could be really useful in a variety of text situations. ... View more

It’s good to have the several row-height options that Airtable currently gives us, but I really wish we had one more, which might be called “Adjust to Fit”. When displaying a table view, this option would shrink rows if the largest text field doesn’t contain much text, and make a row taller if it contains more lines of text. ... View more

I’m heavily considering a return to Airtable after finding Notion’s databases overly nascent and Coda overly complex. However, I’m quite stunned to find regular expression functions, e.g. REGEXMATCH and REGEXREPLACE, absent from Airtable. Do we know if the team plans to incorporate these critical functions? ...
