It would be great to have saved import configs where the field mapping and other settings could be saved so that all I would need to do would be to drag and drop a file onto that import config and the data would be imported the way I want it without having to do all the mappings and settings every time I import.

I would like to have the ability to make certain tables non-readable to certain users. While it is possible to make tables read-only, in order to give someone access to one part of my base, and more specifically in my extensions, I have to give them read-only for all tables, at a minimum. There are times that I do not want specific users to be able to see sensitive financial information on one table, but they might need access to what's in an interface, or on a different table. I realize the permissions within Interfaces helps with this, but it doesn't help with Extensions.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add two of the same options that are available in the view dropdowns from the side menu of views to the TOP menu view dropdown when in a view. Particularly the 'Add/Remove from favorite view' and the 'Move to section' options. ... How does is solve the user problems? It seems like design consistence and eases user experience to also be able to make these modifications from that top view dropdown rather than having to scroll through the side menu views to do so ... How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? All Airtable users who are trying to save time when organizing their views ...

I love using Single & Multiple Select Fields when designing my bases. This option helps keep the data consistent and saves data entry time. My list of possible options usually is long in these fields and I am struggling to edit them in the space provided in the pop-up window. I am particular about the way I sort them. Sometime alphabetically doesn't do the trick and I need to manual drag and drop them in order. However, I am finding this very hard to do bc the window size of the Single & Multiple Field Editor is so small... I can basically only see 2-3 lines at a time. Also, sometimes I want to see the whole list at one time so I can make evaluations on the content within each list and what needs to be edited or removed. I looked to find a way to expand the Single & Multiple Field Editor, but the feedback that I received through the AT Community was the only way to do this was through the Kanban view or possibly a 3rd Party extension. Would it be possible for AT to update the design of the Single & Multiple Field Editor Window and allow the ability to drag a corner of the window to make the Editor window bigger? Or open another window to allow editing of these fields. Also, I would like to be able to move the fields while sorting using the up and down arrow keys. I find it hard to control w/ the mouse/drag feature. In other Dbase programs I've worked with, the ability to edit these fields is a lot easier because of better program design. AT has a lot going for it, and I am surprised this feature isn't designed to be more user-friendly. Thank you for the consideration!

I would like to be able to add a field that includes attributes of the collaborators entered within a "user" or "created by" or "last modified by" type of field. For example if George is entered as a collaborator in a field in table X of base Y and George belongs to a user admin group called "Sales" I would like to look up the user group George belongs to and automatically show it in another field of the same entry in table X of base Y.

Considering this tool is all about automation, I'm surprised there's no way to move filters between tables. It would be very handy to have an option to transfer/export/migrate filters from one table to another easily. Especially useful when using sync tables and you need the same filters set up etc. Otherwise this just creates a lot of additional manual work on top of everything else that can be automated. Edit: I would also add to this idea the option to transfer/sync the views as well, otherwise that can be another lot of manual work to recreate if there's lots of complex views on a table

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add a customization to Date Columns that allows users to choose what part of the date they want displayed. For instance, having "April" or just "2022" could benefit the Pivot Table app. ... How does is solve the user problems? It would eliminate needing a formula column and an automation to produce these results. ... How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? ...Users that want to analyze their data with a pivot table.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Export automation logs to solution like a dedicated Airtable, Sheets or DataStudio (when an official connector?) How does is solve the user problems? Searching inside logs for troubleshooting or monitoring is just a nightmare and one execution by one How was this validated? Idea is to export raw data to data analytics tools (simpler like sheet, robust like DataStudio (google looker studio) or build it inside Airtable as an option to activate 'Create a dedicated automation log table' Who is the target audience? Any user of airtable that need to follow-up /monitor automation execution.

When a Lookup Field is configured to return either a Single Select or Multiple Select field, a count Field fails to allow the count of the returned values. In the screenshot below, Count should allow the return of the number, 3, 4 and 2. A current workaround of a Rollup Field seems to work, but it's not as convenient/easy to setup as a designated Count field could be - and may bring a performance hit on larger tables.

Timeline view is great, especially with ability to split multipleselect/multiplecollaborators into separate groups/lanes. However the display of the actual record in the timeline view is really limited. Attachments as a cover image, akin to kanban, should show a cover image for the record. Instead it currently just shows the file name and link. In addition unless you are zoomed in ultra tight to the dates or your date range is very large, the majority of the details are lost/truncated in timeline view, making it impossible to use. Asana and others push the record details to right side of record when it does not fit in the record box in this view, which is a million times better. Would love this ability as a standard or a toggle option.
