Allow Barcode Scanning in the Forms

Giorgio_Bazziga · ‎Jan 11, 2023

What is the proposed idea/solution? Airtable already allows barcode scanning in regular views, we need to make sure it works when a Form is being used How does is solve the user problems? It's intuitive for users that the feature would be available on the Form version. It also allows non-editors to have an easier way to enter data without needing a login How was this validated? Not sure I understand the questions Who is the target audience? Surveyors or anyone who wants field used

Within an Automation Script, it's frustrating that we still encounter the inability to update the Single Select or Multi Select field options, with the error returning; "Airtable "Error: Cannot update field config from scripting automation" This limitation forces the user to reconsider the field type, with the alternative solution usually swapping it into a Single Line text field. Interestingly, it is possible to use an Automation Update Record action to do this exact same process, but for whatever reason it's not possible for an Automation Script to execute this very same process. Can this limitation please be reviewed and reconsidered by Airtable Developers? Without this feature, it limits the use of Single Select and Multiple Select fields within bases heavily dependent on Automations.

It seems that if I want to use a custom format for my Date field, I need to create a Formula field and use DATE_FORMAT(). Would it be preferable in most cases to offer a 'Custom' option in the 'Date format' menu in a Date field's settings? (see attachment) This would then show a text field where one could input the same formatting string one would give DATE_FORMAT(). That way I would not need to create a 'proxy' field to display the date as I prefer.

What is the proposed idea/solution? To hide the first (main) column of a table in a Grid element. How does it solve user problems? Not all tables' first column is important, especially for tables that mainly connect between linked records. While the first column cannot be hidden on Airtable base tables, it should be possible on the Interface Designer's Grid element. Who is the target audience? Those who use the Grid element on the Interface Designer.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Give airtable users the ability to automatically create new views based on conditions. How does is solve the user problems? Less time spent on repetitive admin work that can easily be automated.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Let us create custom terms for records in tables in addition to selecting from the predefined list. How does is solve the user problems? The list provides a great starting point for record names, but too often terms aren't available. For instance, Phone Number isn't an available term, despite having a record field type of Phone Number, and neither is Number. This translates to the interfaces any time an 'Add Record' button appears to a linked record field, which may cause confusion if an intuitive term is not available. This is a relatively small ask (that I do not understand the technical requirements of at all, so please don't misunderstand me) that would go a long way to improve the user experience, especially to those users less tech-savvy than others. How was this validated? Every single time I've searched for a term in the pre-defined list of terms for records, I almost always come up empty. Who is the target audience? Moreso end users unfamiliar with Airtable who see a button to add/create/link records.

What is the proposed idea/solution? I would like to be able to colorize the full Row. I would like to set different color for the full row instead just a colorized label at the beginning of the row. ... Who is the target audience? ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? When designing interfaces, if I create a button to create new records, the form does not allow for new options in single-select fields. I know there are workarounds, but a better idea is just to give designers the option via a toggle when in the "Edit pages" designer for forms. This toggle already exists in Interface Designer, (screenshot attached). Please include it for when designing forms within Interfaces. How does is solve the user problems? Makes users' lives easier. Enhances Airtable's capabilities. Currently they have to do workaround that involve multiple steps, and I'd rather not make a process take 3 steps when 1 would do. How was this validated? ? Who is the target audience? Everyone using the Interface forms.

It would be nice to be able to customize the content of tooltip in Interface charts by selecting another fields to be displayed in the tooltip.

What is your idea? Create a new role for users with interface-only access called Designer or something. These users could edit interface pages, show/hide fields, and even edit fields as necessary. They wouldn't be able to access the database or automations, or even add pages, but could modify existing pages as necessary. What Problem would it Solve? Users would be able to change values of some fields that they otherwise wouldn't be able to: single select, multiple select, etc. which can be helpful for users who accidentally create a value in these fields which are mispelled or have the wrong color etc. Users would be able to make minor cosmetic changes and move fields around as necessary. Less time would be taken from developers for making modest changes and fixing simple mistakes Who would benefit? I think this would give some users a sense of control over their apps, so they're not entirely locked to users with editor/creator access. Especially for more minor issues - like fixing incorrect single select fields - having to wait for a user who is a creator to fix those fields or update colors might be considered a minor annoyance for users. It would also appeal to users who consider themselves more designers than database engineers and give them an intro into airtable app development. It would also save time for base creators who may be managing multiple apps so they don't have to focus on more minor things that are easily fixable.
