User-added tags: add multiselect values inline.

Cameron_Rout · ‎Oct 02, 2024

In my experience, tags are things that are added by the user, not by the admin. While tagging photos for example, it's almost impossible to predict what tags will be used. Make it so that I can add items in the multiselect interface. This could be an option in the field definition "Allow users to add options". This would work well with the other feature request I saw on here about showing how many of the other tags there are.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add "Prompt" as an answer to "What should each record be called?" How does is solve the user problems? How was this validated? See images above. I wanna use my table as a prompt library Who is the target audience? Er'rybody

Hello! The search bar in the "Data" section of Airtable should not only function as a search tool but also as a filter, similar to how it is already possible in interface tables. Users could access relevant records faster without having to switch between filters that don't consider all records and cannot be deactivated. Not having to set up the filters again each time would save a significant amount of time. Such a filter function already exists in interface tables and would offer more flexible search and filter options. The irrelevant records still show up, while all relevant ones aren't hidden:

I have figured out the update record action on the automations, but the parameters it asks for is so incredibly vague and unclear, it should be corrected. It should be something like: record to update: field to update: source record: source field:, It allows you to select a record or a field, when it needs a record??????. I love your platform, but that form (and many like it) are vague to the point of being in the "what were they thinking?" category. Thanks Jeff

What is the proposed idea/solution? Airtable base needs a special table (or method) for adding and managing data related to collaborators. I mean this by team members. How does is solve the user problems? Think that you're tracking work hours of your team and everyone can go and add their own hours via interface or something else. Now you should be able to add "global" data related to who has done the record (or marked as collaborator to that data). For example hourly salary, work hours etc. Sky is the limit really. It would replace the "normal" way employees/users are "meant" to be done now. Being able to link that data to collaborator in base level would solve many issues with data linking and keeping them organized. Also it then should be possible to lookup and rollup data based on linked collaborator(s). So basically the "collaborator" field would be just a special kind of link to another record and every base would have this one special table just for them. Or something similar. Who is the target audience? Everybody who use collaborator field.

I would like to be able to tell the top 5 selected items — I'm missing the ability to tell what row number an item is in/how many rows there are in a table.

I was at ONA24 in Atlanta last week and, as someone who has used Airtable in my last four newsrooms, I can say Airtable would make a killing signing up new paid users. It is by far the best content management system available (I've tried them all). You really need to have a midway presence at ONA25 in New Orleans.

I would like to copy filters from multiple views and combine them in one single view. I'm getting to the point where one view has what I need and I want to compare it with another view. The current solution is to hire an engineer to write a script or painstakingly rebuild one filter onto an existing one. I've seen this idea before and will hope a new 'request' will resurface the need for more reusable functionality around filters.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Extend controls for users with editor access to interfaces to be able to make columns wider and even move fields in the interface Grid view, just as it works in the database view. How does is solve the user problems? Right now, you can't make columns wider, which is even more restrictive than the list view of interfaces. I think having some additional controls over the grid view will make it appeal to certain users more familiar with spreadsheets and give them more of a sense of control. How was this validated? Users more familiar with Airtable have found some interfaces to be more restrictive than they prefer, even if they enjoy interfaces. Especially the grid view, which is so powerful in the base, is especially limiting in the interface. Who is the target audience? Users more familiar with spreadsheets. Users with some experience in Airtable. Commercial clients who want a bit more flexibility than is currently available on the grid view.

What is the proposed idea/solution? When creating a grid, you have filter and sort. Add "limit rows returned". How does is solve the user problems? Lets say you have scheduled meetings, and you want to have a view that just lists the next meeting. You can filter to have scheduled date "after today", and sort it automatically so the next meeting is at the top. But there's no way to limit to the top row. If you had a row limit with the options of ("Show All" (default), "First Row Only", or "Specific Limit" (with value), I can see this type of view being very handy when driving some automations. It would also be incredibly handy for people that want to schedule a price increase. Lets say I have 4 dates with 4 different prices, it would be possible to list the most current price by using a mixture of the max date that less than current, and showing the top row. How was this validated? Pretty basic. If you say only show 3 rows, only 3 rows should show up on the view. Who is the target audience? Anyone that has complex data sets that are driven by schedule, or any other data set where they want to limit results based on a filter/sort such as "top 3 winners".
