What is the proposed idea/solution? I'd like to have the ability to save draft forms before sending them and recall them later. How does is solve the user problems? A user can start filling out a form, save the answers entered and complete the form at a later time, for example if they need to collect information to be able to answer everything. Who is the target audience? Anyone who uses a form to collect complex information, which requires time to fill out or the need to collect additional information.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...new element to inject code block into an interface. How does is solve the user problems? ...I could embed Airtable forms, embed Gmail, embed a VoIP phone into our APP so we don’t need to leave Airtable to execute those functions. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? ...basically everyone. This would make Airtable truly a complete app builder.

When an automation uses a repeated group, it can run for an extended period of time. Currently, there is no option to forcefully stop the automation midway, leaving users waiting for it to finish. Additionally, while the automation history displays the start time, it does not show the end time, making it difficult to determine the total runtime. It would be highly beneficial to provide the end time and total elapsed time in the automation history to enhance usability and monitoring capabilities.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Airtable desperately needs more options for date filtering. Most importantly the following: within next calendar week/month within past calendar week/month on or before the end of this calendar week on or before the end of next calendar week Airtable barely has filters for calendar weeks which is extremely frustrating because most program managers are looking at the tasks for the given week and it is super annoying to have to make it a custom between 2 date fields because saying on or before one week from now will show tasks from the following week within the first few days. How does is solve the user problems? This makes searches more automated so they will automatically show you what is happening in the given calendar week/month without having to do the current way which is: Date is on or after 11/1/2024 or date is on or before 11/30/2024 (which has to manually be changed every month). It just makes things unnecessarily difficult when it should just be simple to add these date filters.

Nested records don't currently have a great way to view, as the list view hierarchy only supports nested records in some contexts, and has a limited number of levels shown when it is supported. Implement a view or add to an existing view (e.g. list) the ability to have nested records of the same type and infinite (or at least more) levels of nesting displayed. The ability to fold nested levels to better navigate the list would make this very manageable for large datasets with several layers of nesting.

What is the proposed idea/solution? When creating inline records from the Calendar view, open the sidesheet immediately instead of having to click the arrow expand buttons to actually edit the record. IMO this should be the default interaction if no fields are editable from the interface page. How does is solve the user problems? There's a small hiccup on in-line record creation on the Calendar view if no fields are visible. My users either get confused as to how to edit newly-created records or don't even realize that those arrows to expand records exist. How was this validated? Regular feedback from users of Calendar interface views who express confusion resulting from this interaction. The calendar view is the favorite view from many of my users, but this interaction is a little janky. Who is the target audience? I believe almost anybody who uses the Calendar view in interfaces would prefer this method of inline record creation if there are no editable fields.

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.

What is the proposed idea/solution? It would be great to have more options for notifications instead of just Email and Mobile on/off. Right now, we have to turn on the ability to be notified for all comments instead of just mentions for EACH record. It would be nice to have the option to turn all comment notifications on for ALL records!! How does is solve the user problems? It would help users not have to remember to turn it on, allowing them to not miss any important comments.
