What is the proposed idea/solution? Use AI or such like to 'translate' questions that involve a Formula into instant solutions without having to learn/decipher the language of Formula. For example, say I want a formula that will display from at least 5 fields: Joe is coming to lunch at 2.21pm on 1 January 2023 which is in 4 days time. Instead of having to work out how to join the text, ensure that 2.21 doesn't need ROUND to be certain of 2 decimal places, and a formula for calculating the number of day from any given date, one would simply enter in a formula field: Joe is coming to lunch at 2.21pm on 1 January 2023 which is in 4 days time Behind-the-scenes AT would convert the question into the answer. the user wouldn't then have faff around with " and ( and, { etc ) " before being able to get on with whatever. (Long ago I invented a method of counselling for resolving (permanently) deep-seated psychological and emotional problems in about an hour and a half. I worked on the principle that people generally want answers on a plate and that a therapist should not expect clients to have to do all the hard work merely because the therapist might have spent months perhaps years of study to reach the stage at which the therapist's advice would be worth taking. I am not a therapist, at least not in the popular sense of the word but had I wanted to launch the method into a proper business rather than just something to do in my spare time I am told that the method could have put vast numbers of counsellors and psychotherapists out of business. With AT you have a superb product which would become excellent if instead of focussing on the superficial stuff more effort were put into transforming the hidden depths into simple to understand and equally easy to implement solutions.) How does is solve the user problems? The user would know that any question asked would be answered in a way that the user can understand. How was this validated? My experience transformed into an aopportunity for your business.

What is the proposed idea/solution? An option to filter by number of values in a multiple-select or linked record field. How does this solve the user problems? Easily locate records associated with multiple other records. In my specific situation, a collaborator is asking why certain Tasks are linked to two projects instead of just one. (A hacky solution is creating a field with the array joined values of the linked field and then filtering by which rows contain the value separator.) How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Users who are refining Base designs, such as cardinality, based on feedback from non-technical users

Just to ensure I'm using the jargon correctly, I believe an 'Interface' is a groups of 'Pages' -- with that out of the way, I wonder if it would be relatively 'low hanging fruit' to offer the ability to move a Page to another Interface within the same Base? Why would you want to do this? The Enterprise plan has granular permissions that control which Interfaces can be accessed by which users/groups. A Page in an interface might be useful to multiple groups, but that doesn't mean I want multiple groups to have access to the entire Interface. This results in having to re-create Pages in different Interfaces that have the appropriate permission settings. A function to move a Page to a different Interface (within the same Base of course) would be a significant 'quality of life' improvement and time-saver in this situation. It could live in the page's '...' menu (see screenshot)

It seems that if I want to use a custom format for my Date field, I need to create a Formula field and use DATE_FORMAT(). Would it be preferable in most cases to offer a 'Custom' option in the 'Date format' menu in a Date field's settings? (see attachment) This would then show a text field where one could input the same formatting string one would give DATE_FORMAT(). That way I would not need to create a 'proxy' field to display the date as I prefer.

Appreciate the ability to bold, italicize, and strike through text in long text fields, and to format as headings, numbered or bulleted lists, etc. It would be very helpful to be able to highlight text as well, or at least change the color of the text. Change in text color, at least, must be possible as hyperlinked text appears in light blue. Our particular use case is a shared legal research database, where our long text field is the notes each lawyer takes on each case. It would be very useful to other researchers to see highlighted passages. We currently use bold text, but it doesn't really stand out in a helpful way. Thank you.

What is the proposed idea/solution? To have the capability to send a page designer form to a record How does is solve the user problems? The page designer currently only supports printing as an export option, if I were able to export to a record that would be incredibly more efficient. The current way to attach a page designer document to a record is by "printing" the doc, then saving as a pdf, then uploading to a dedicated attachment field. I should be able to send a doc straight back to a record in my base. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? I'm currently using page designer with interfaces for my fulfillment use case, it has some serious potential if a litte more work was put into it.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow tabs ('\t') and newlines ('\n') in the prompt argument to input.textAsync. How does is solve the user problems? Multiline prompts would make longer prompts more readable. The following is, quite frankly, a mess: How was this validated? Tabs and newlines in the prompt string are not shown. The above mess is generated by the following code: const grps = ['Update Projects entry', 'Topic', 'Database', 'Results', 'Dev build', 'Initial meeting', 'Demo', 'Data sharing', 'Contouring', 'Model development', 'Interim analysis', 'Final analysis', 'Study proposal', 'Study protocol', 'Grant', 'Prospective data collection', 'CRA', 'REB', 'Abstract (will be published on its own)', 'Manuscript', 'Poster', 'Presentation', 'NDA', 'Privacy/security review', 'Cover letter'].sort();
var origPrompt = 'Record group to create. Choose a number.\n';
for(var i = 0; i < grps.length; ++i) {
origPrompt += (i + 1) + '.\t' + grps[i] + '\n';
}
origPrompt += 'Group number: '
await input.textAsync(origPrompt); Who is the target audience? Users who want more formatting options in scripts, especially for longer text prompts. - Note that this wouldn't be an issue if radio button inputs were supported.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ... Have the chance to apply different conditions and/or filters to columns (like lookup) in different views. How does is solve the user problems? ... At this moment, the only way to apply different conditions to columns is to duplicate the tables and apply the new condition or filter. If we had the chance to create different views with better control of conditions and filters, we would be able to reduce the number of tables and have everything in the same table but with different views. Why do we need different conditions? if we want to apply automations and scripts is easier if we are able to filter the data and the columns in views. We can apply the automation to that specific view. Who is the target audience? ... Everyone that works with multiple kinds of products, clients, locations etc, and wants to analyze data based on a specific feature.

My automations would be much easier to maintain if, instead of duplicating an automation for each possible trigger, I could have an action in another automation that triggered it. For example, I would like to send a certain email any time a button is pressed, and also under certain conditions if a form is submitted. Instead of having two identical automations with different triggers, I'd like to have: one automation based on the button press that sends the email (and does nothing else), and a form-triggered automation with a couple actions (unrelated to the email) and a conditional action that triggers the button-press automation to send the email.

What is the proposed idea/solution? When populating automation filters there is the option for choosing a static value or a dynamic value. This would be great to add ability to switch between static/dynamic values in regular View filters... How does is solve the user problems? I currently have a large number of fields used to compare data in 2 fields and flag when something doesn't match for example. It would cut down greatly on the number of fields I have if I was able to use the dynamic setting and adjust my View filters to say if Field 1 does not equal Field 2, then show in this view. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Smaller teams needing to manually QA various datapoints without the need for additional field counts...
