What is the proposed idea/solution? Be able to copy & paste a booking entry in Timeline view on a new date (similar to how you can copy & paste a cell in Grid view) instead of needing to create a new booking and re-entering all the fields on the new date. It would also be helpful to have a 'repeate booking daily/weekly/fortnightly etc.' in Timeline view. How does is solve the user problems? I use the Timeline view as a Staff schedule to see what projects they work on each week. Some staff work on the same projects weekly so I think this function would be a huge help and create efficiency with entering data. I've attached an example of our weekly schedule showing repeated bookings on multiple days. Who is the target audience? Anyone using the timeline view where similar entries are made each week.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Create / Download / Send to Drive csv with an automation so that you can back up tables or views or the results of find records action How does is solve the user problems? Problem: Snapshots are not a real backup solution since there is no way to restore them without braking any third party integrations that would need to be re-made. The issue of the record ids in the snapshot being different than in the original also means copy/paste is out of the question for linked records. Solution: automated csvs as partial table backups that you can actually import or paste into tables needing restoration Would also help with certain kinds of integration How was this validated? ? Who is the target audience? Everybody

I use Airtable to log assets, This means a lot of very similar columns to log data. It would be amazing to be able to use the field manager to select a number of columns (Fields) and duplicate them, meaning it would just need re-naming. But all the Options for multi selections etc. would carry across. This would be an amazing feature for me!

It would be great if you could open an attachment referenced in the comments activity. I currently have to scroll to the field to select and open an attachment. Also, if there are multiple versions i need to determine which to open.

What is the proposed idea/solution? We need to have security features for the mobile app. 2FA, Fingerprint, maybe a secondary profile that the "Admin" can accept or deny changes. Its just too open. Double edged sword. I'm happy it exists and works for my use case but what if someone steals my phone, or a sibling's using my device opens airtable and starts deleting sht! How was this validated? You're the engineers and UX designers... you tell me. Who is the target audience? Everyone who uses the Mobile app and cares about the integrity/ security of the data

I love the ability to create a custom name to my conditional statement, however, it becomes difficult to debug when there is a problem because the Run History does not use the custom name. Please update the system to use the custom conditional name when looking at the Run History.

My company is compliant with certain certifications and requires our team to use other platforms for certain document storage. It would be phenomenal to add pinned links / notes to tables if someone so choose, then a person can more quickly get the intention behind a table, or quickly redirect to a link of their choice

What is the proposed idea/solution? When a linked table field is opened in "Expand cell", the "Limit record selection to a view" order is applied. How does is solve the user problems? Improved usability of linked table fields --- When a linked table field is opened in "Expand cell", the field order is fixed to the first view of the linked table. In the linked table selection window, the selected view is applied, but not yet in the "Expand cell" opened on the view.
