We cannot color by lookup fields. Even if “Allow linking to multiple records” is disabled on the Record Linker, the option to select Single Select Lookup fields is disabled in the record coloring menu. This makes no sense, and is a real hamper on operations that make use of Airtables Sync feature to integrate multiple bases with each other. I understand that the option is probably disabled because lookup fields are arrays, but there is absolutely no reason it should be disabled when the linker field is restricted to only allow the linking of one item. This is an oversight that forces users to spend a huge amount of time drafting custom color rulesets. ... View more

It seems the need for Airtable to have a system to prompt the user if a duplicate entry has been submitted would be a main requirement for users, particularly those using forms. For example, a user registration form, ensuring only a unique email had been used. I would imagine it would either be based on the primary column or even better, the option to tell Airtable which columns should not allow duplicate entries. At the moment I have to pay miniextensions over $400 a year just to have this function - a great product, but something I feel Airtable should include as standard. After-all, why should I have to use such plugins to achieve what I would deem basic requirements of a database type system like Airtable? 🙂 ... View more

I get automated help when I try to leave a message for support. Clicking on ‘Contact support’ brings up a window for me to ‘Ask a question’ and the answers are automated. There’s no way for me to actually report a bug. I’ll post the problem I’m having in a separate topic so as not to confuse the issue. ... View more

In scripting block, when calling input.textAsync("Your Name") it would be convenient to have an optional second argument to provide a default value in the text field: input.textAsync("Your Name", "Jane Doe") ... View more

To keep better track of product suggestions, I propose to add a “resolution status” field to posts in the actual Show and tell / Product Suggestions community forum. This is additional information to a “closed” status on a post: it indicates whether or not the suggested feature is now available in Airtable. Could work similar to what exists in Stack Overflow. I suggest the following options: open (use case or feature is still impossible) partially resolved (some progress has been made, still not quite the OP suggestion though) completely resolved (OP suggestion is now supported) + next to status field, optional anchor links to one or more comments in the response thread (“this post has been solved by comments X and Y”) … like in Stack Overflow actually + anyone can set alerts on post status changes Adding this status field to individual post pages, as well as a column to the posts list (with filtering options), would make the whole suggestion process much easier to browse. ...

When I share an Airtable, I don’t want to put every information visible in the card but also I don’t to show every field in the expanded record. It would be great to have a middle ground where I could sensitive hide fields in the expanded record. Please consider having this possibility as our use case for Airtable is lost without this feature. Thank you ... View more

Hi, do you plan to allow a little (simple) customization of the gallery views ? The more needed being IMO : several columns widths Labels and data on the same line horizontal scrolling header They would be nice additions, especially when having a lot of fields for sharing views to external customers ...

Hello, The automation fields don’t currently allow calculations in fields. For example, I want to create an automation that pulls the date from a selected record and adds or subtracts a number of days from that. It would be a very useful feature to automate some project tasks without having to manually enter the dates. I’m giving an example with dates but automation would be largely enhanced if we could use formulas in fields. Thank you. ... View more

I’ve created a bar chart with stacked data and I’m looking for a way to add the total to the top of each bar. Seems like this would be a basic function but Airtable Support has informed me that this is not available. Has anybody else run into this issue and found a work-around solution? Thanks! ... View more
