What is the proposed idea/solution? Enable date formatting on formula columns How does is solve the user problems? My use case for this would be to insert templates or build template tables for project management on events we do over and over again. For example, if we plan a webinar, we know which tasks need to get done in what order and how many days apart. We have a formula for how many days before or after the live webinar date each task needs to be done. If I include a column for the live date and include the variance to live date, I should be able to auto calculate the due date for each task but there isn't a format that allows for this. ...

Enable a formula on a record level (like gsheet). My use case for this would be to insert templates or build template tables for project management on events we do over and over again. For example, if we plan a webinar, we know which tasks need to get done in what order and how many days apart. We have a formula for how many days before or after the live webinar date each task needs to be done. Since it's not always the same number of days for each record I can't use a formula in the current set up.  ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? You can "hide identical fields", but not computed fields (which can't be merged). Let users choose to also hide the computed fields. How does is solve the user problems? It will be easier to have an overview of the records when those fields are hidden. Less scrolling ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? The referenced field order can be changed to the selected View by setting "Limit record selection to a view" How does is solve the user problems? The fields you want to see when selecting linked records should be different for each table or View. While "Limit record selection to a view" allows filtering of records, it would be helpful to be able to set the field order as well. Who is the target audience? Users frequently using the link record --- The field order of a table when referenced from a linked record depends on the first View of the referenced table. It would be very helpful if we could set the recently added (I forget when, but it wasn't there in the past) "Limit record selection to a view" on the link record to change the field order to the selected View. This may also be related to this post. Change Field Order on Linked Record    ... View more

Airtable's power really shines when structuring a base in a relational way. In my experience working with many new Airtable users, this is not always immediately obvious and takes education (especially for users coming from Excel). Instead of requiring some mindset shifts and a (small) learning curve to get the most out of Airtable, it would be helpful to have some quick and powerful options when working with flat data in a single table, such as aggregations on all records in a view. What is the proposed idea/solution? A formula that returns a comma separated list of all values across records in a view for a given field: ALL({some field}) Some name suggestions: ALL() ALLVALUES() LIST() CSV() How does is solve the user problems? Allows creation of "share of..." calculations like: {sales} / SUM(ALL({sales})) or using record counts in the same table like: COUNT(ALL({Project Name})) or get a distinct list of field values existing across all other sibling records like: ARRAYUNIQUE(ALL({Part List})) How was this validated? n/a Who is the target audience? Everyone, business users coming from Excel that aren't yet thinking about their data in relational terms ... 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

We have a lot of fields to display in grid or list views and try to minimize the width of fields, but the field type icon gets in the way from a readability perspective. Just place it on the right side or hide it altogether. The user cares more about what the title of the field is not what type it is and the we want to be able to know it is the correct field at a glance. Or you could a checkmark somewhere in preferences whether the icon should be displayed at all (I'd rather see it on hover or something and would turn it off on all views). Thanks!   ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? It would be more robust, avoid more errors and dave time if form fields could be pre filled manually or dynamically. While designing a form, each field would offer a "manual" and a "dynamic" option just like in automations. Hiding (or locking) pre filled fields would also work from the interface so that the pre filled info is guaranteed to be included in the submission. How does is solve the user problems? At the moment we pre fill forms and hide fields through the suggested URL strings. As soon as parts of the URL go missing while being shared and shared and copied and pasted, the whole thing no longer works. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? It seems likely that this is already being developed, but I suggest adding a new feature to the Button interface element (see attached screenshot for expected location) that allows users to apply a record template to the current record. This enhancement would help streamline the process of creating sets of sub-tickets and eliminate the need for cumbersome automation currently in place. How does is solve the user problems? Allows for faster, easier deployment of records in an Interface. Simplifies base administration. How was this validated? ? Who is the target audience? People using Interfaces with a concept of 'sub-tickets' -- probably other use cases. ... View more
