This actually might be a bug in Airtable, but I’d like to add it as a feature request: In Grid View, if your row height is set to “short”, you can hover over a “Long Text” field and Airtable will give you a tooltip with a preview of the full text. This is very helpful! See screenshot below. However, as soon as you change your row height to any other height besides “short”, these preview tooltips no longer activate anymore. Even if you still have unseen text in the long text field, Airtable won’t show you the preview tooltip anymore. It would be very helpful if the preview tooltips always displayed if there was still more text to be seen — regardless of the row height. Thanks! ... View more

I can customize kanban cards - only the title of the kanban card I can’t change. The title of a kanban card is always the primary field. Not a problem - the primary field is very flexible and can even be the result of a formula. I keep running into a situation, however, where I want to fine tune the calendar view, the kanban view and even the grid view. And one primary field as the only allowed source for the titles of kanban cards and calendar items is very limiting. Why shouldn’t it be possible to customize those titles? ... View more

Issue: It’s difficult to find the corresponding View for a Share View Link, especially in Bases with many Views that have Share View Links created. Solution: Make a utility to reverse lookup a View from a Shared View Link that would indicate the Base, Table, View. Thanks! ... View more

I have a rather long list of tables at the moment (though I am hoping to combine some of them into fewer tables), and the tabs are taking up about half of my laptop monitor. It would be nice to be able to hide these tabs to increase the size of the work area. ... View more

Creating records should be a purposeful thing. Auto creating a record by clicking below a record rather than only when clicking the + is annoying and leads to lots of blank records. Please allow to turn this off. ... View more

Requesting an actual field type for tasks. I’m working around this with the long text field by adding checkbox bullets but I can’t see how many complete vs incomplete tasks I have without expanding every single long text field. Trellos Checklists - I love trello’s checklists because you can do a single paste and trello will recognize and convert each item into its own checklist item. for example: this is my first task this is my second task this is my third task hit “ENTER” automatically turns into: SmartSuite cannot recognize the multiple lines and split into multiple tasks yet but they still have a checklist field that shows a running total of completed vs incomplete tasks at a glance. Very cool feature. anyone else find value in the checklist field? ... View more

I work with a lot of very big or very small numbers… representing numbers in scientific notation would really make life way easier. As I understand it, the only way to represent numbers are with integers or decimals (with customizable precision)… or percentages or currency formatting as different field types. Numbers in scientific notation could be stored in text fields, but formulas don’t work with them. I suppose I could use two fields with the decimal in one field and the exponent in another… but… come on… ... View more

I’ve used Airtable for a long time and I wish it had these two simple features: Ability to reset filters/groups/sorting to a user-defined default for each view. That way I can play around but then reset to the defaults. Right now I just generate a view-only link for myself so I don’t mess up my view and refresh to get back to the default settings. It would be much better though if I could make changes in-base then either reset them or set them as the new default to lock them in. Ability to update all views when I change something. For example, if I add a new column and then resize the column then for all of my other views, that column will be tacked on to the end and will not be resized. It’s a lot of work to go through and fix that column in every view every time I want to make a minor change like resizing or adding a column. Often I just delete all of my views and recreate them, since it’s easier than manually updating them all. Anyone agree? Any workarounds that I’m not realizing? ... View more
