When choosing the calendar field type, it has various format options but they all include the day. I would like to have an option to just include month and year. Use cases: In an employee directory, I’d like to have when they started with the company but most people don’t know date. Indicating when a client joined us or when their renewal month is. ...

All - I have seen this suggestion before but since the Views sidebar functionality is being currently developed - I thought would ask. It would be great to have collapsible groups in the Views panel. Thanks Jonathan ... View more

Shift + Scroll was working very well up until a few weeks ago. I am not sure what you guys changes, but it is definitely only a bug related to Airtable. Shift + Scroll works fine in every other windows application. Also tried the following from a few completely different PCs and the bug is still present. So it is most definitely Airtable related. Whenever you hold shift and scroll, it moves horizontally fine. But at the end of the scroll, it moves a few rows up or down depending on the direction you’ve moved your mouse scroll wheel. This was not the case up until a few weeks ago. It all started happening when you updated something. So please try to fix this one. It is very annoying and makes horizontal scrolling rather useless. ... View more

It would be amazing if Airtable had the ability for records to AUTOMATICALLY link to records in other tables, once Airtable knows what “match criteria” we’re looking for. Right now, Airtable requires us to manually link every single record by hand. ... View more

My request for improving the URL field is three-fold: Hyperlinks: ability to clean up links and hyperlink them with the text you want to appear. Custom Icons/Favicons: ability to add custom thumbnails/icons/favicons based on where the URL points (document file type, website, blog, folder, social media accounts, video, etc.). It would be cool to have a uniform library to choose from like when setting up a base, as well as include popular sites, brands, file types. Multiples: Allow for multiple URL’s in a single field (if I’m tracking my client’s important URLs, it would be nice to include more than one (website, file repository, lead forms, product page, social media accounts, etc.). Mainly these are for aesthetic purposes but it also improves/quickens visual identification. This would especially look good if being displayed in Gallery view, or if you add it to the Page Designer block. ... View more

It’s awesome that lookup fields automatically bring in data from other tables, and that these lookup fields always keep their data constantly updated in real-time between the multiple tables. However, sometimes we want to lookup data from Table A into Table B, and KEEP THAT DATA STATIC in Table B. In other words, we DON’T want the lookup data in Table B to be constantly updated. The #1 classic example of this is creating an invoice in an invoice table that looks up prices from a products table. For historical accounting purposes & historical tax reporting purposes, it is very important that each invoice ALWAYS stays at the EXACT SAME PRICE after submitting the invoice to a client. But with Airtable’s lookup fields, whenever we increase prices in our products table, all of our old historical invoices also increase their prices as well. In reality, we only want the new prices to affect NEW INVOICES moving forward. We still want to keep all of our old invoices locked down to their old prices for historical purposes. In other words, new prices should only affect new invoices moving forward… but should leave old invoices alone. We got some workarounds in this thread, but it would be significantly easier if this functionality was directly built into Airtable. We are coming to Airtable from the FileMaker world, where a “lookup field” in FileMaker copies & pastes the data (such as price) from Table A into Table B in a STATIC FASHION, so that prices always remain static on old invoices for historical purposes. FileMaker, of course, also gives us Airtable’s ability to have lookup fields that automatically update in real time as well (but these are called “related fields” in FileMaker). So we have both options in FileMaker. Airtable only gives us one option. We would really love Airtable to give us the ability to have lookup fields that do “static copying & pasting” of data instead of real-time linking of data. Just go ahead & steal FileMaker’s methodology of doing this! 🙂 ... View more

When you start typing in a single or multiple select field, a drop-down appears that shows matching options, or allows you to enter a new option. Obviously this is super useful–the problem is, the behavior of the “enter” key is ambiguous in this context. In the attached screenshot, you can see that if I want to select “ASAP” here, all I need to do is type “as” and press enter or tab. But sometimes this instead adds a new option named “as.” This happens to me almost constantly, and it’s… kind of infuriating. I have to fix the record itself, then go into “customize field type” to delete the “as” option. I’m guessing what’s happening is that “create a new option” is loading more quickly than the match results do? In which case maybe just making sure it doesn’t appear until all potential matches have been checked might solve the problem. But another option that might have additional benefits would be to lock the options so that you can’t add a new option without going into the “customize field type” menu. ... View more

Hey there Airtable! This isn’t so much a feature request as it is a thought on how you might put some users’ minds at ease. I’ve noticed, after scrolling through countless threads on countless topics of relevance to my use of Airtable, that many other people have the same issues that I do. Could you put together (or display, because I’m sure you have something like this) a base showing priority levels for updates, along with timelines and a way for users to put their hat in on certain features? As a user, I feel kind of blind to the progress being made and many of the threads of relevance to me have either gone without response from Airtable or have been responded to for several years without the feature actually being implemented. I love the tool – I got my whole company to use it and we’re now paying for the pro plan, but I feel like both Airtable and its users would benefit from some transparency here. I’d hate to find myself frustrated at the pace of upgrades and seek out an alternative. Best, Chris P.S. If you have something like this already, my bad! Can you please point me to it? ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution?  User can choose to send an email directly from comments section. The resulting reply shows up in the comments.  Particularly useful is to have an email per workspace How does is solve the user problems? All communication relating to the record/task/client shows up in said record/task/client. This is without having to add erroneous user seat count and or guest usage to Airtable account. Who is the target audience? Any one needing a decent CRM/Ticket/Job management solution, on a none existent budget My user case is extremely specific, but here it is, as briefly and as simplistically as I can put it: I am a reseller for a major ISP, in an effort to increase my commission split I as added as a "sub-agent" to an existing agent. The issue is I lost access to their CRM tool. So I created and interface which allows me to keep track of my clients with the agent I am attached to. This works fine for the most basic of communication between him and me. How ever when I send an email to a client or to our support desk, the evidence of this communication is not recorded in the reciprocal record/task in Airtable.     ... View more
