I would find it very useful if there was an embed block that would be kind of similar to the page designer except that instead of printing it would be for embedding it into a website. The use case would be showing records from Airtable in a more customized way that would feel and look more just like a part of the webpage. Say I wanted to show a table with all our employees. Right now it would be via an embed view (which is great) but if I could design it to look and feel just like our website it would be very useful

Linked Records are currently limited to a single table per column in another table. But I’d like to combine records from 2 or more tables into a single column in an additional table. In other words, polymorphic relationships. What I’d like to Do I have a table of Client A’s Products and a table of Client B’s Products. They need to be combined into a Products column on a third table, Employee Assignments. Both product tables store data very differently, so combining them into a single table would result in an excessively wide and long Products table. Instead, the two client tables are left as is, and the Employee Assignment’s “Products” column is made polymorphic to accommodate both clients’ data. Workaround Barring added features, I can create a junction table of Clients Products where each client gets their own column. The problem is that Clients Products will inevitably become pretty wide as lookups & formulas are added over time. Each client products table will require their own columns for the linked product and lookups. And there will need to be a number of formulas to combine those products & lookups before passing them neatly along to Employee Assignments.

The ability to input a new record into my maintenance table requires choosing a record to link from my assets table. The issue of using auto number Unique Id’s for each table means the linked record search is not very useful. I have a table of more than 100 assets of different types. The “find a record to link” search function only lets you search according to the unique id, without being able to thin the search down by using the other columns like Type, or Asset Designation, or Manufacturer or Serial Number.
I believe a suggestion was made to allow a user to create a filter for the “find a record to link” search, but I think simply expanding the search capability beyond the first column would be ideal.

Starting yesterday, Airtable rolled out a new sidebar in the left margin to display the views in our base. This is fine, but please stop auto-opening this sidebar by default. Every time we refresh our web browser or enter a base, this view sidebar auto-opens. It takes up a significant amount of screen real estate, and it is a real pain to continually be closing this new sidebar. Every time we enter a base, we have to close the view sidebar again. The vast majority of people aren’t continually switching views constantly throughout the day. For this to be ever-present and taking up a significant amount of screen real estate is not helpful. This should stay closed by default. p.s. The old view switcher was not difficult to find or use.

It would be great to mark bases as archived when no longer needed. I imagine them available under each team maybe under a second tab called “archived”. Would also want to be able to unarchive.

Views are useful, but sometimes a view needs to have lots of information in it regardless to be useful. Side scrollling with dozens of columns can be unwieldy and difficult to navigate (especially as the user adds new columns in different views, and they automatically place them at the end of other views). Colour coding and/or being able to group columns would seemingly be a simple to implement and very useful functionality. Grouping columns would be nice for tabbing between views and being able to move a bunch of columns at once (or unhide a column and have it snap to it's "group").

What is the proposed idea/solution? A few simple reaction options for record comments, e.g, thumbs up, thumbs down, laugh, smiling face How does is solve the user problems? No simple way to show that you have seen and are actioning a comment unless you leave another comment, which sometimes feels like more than is needed. Who is the target audience? Anyone who uses Airtable for communicating on projects - between teams or with clients!

Hi airtable!
I have a list (an array) of items in two columns. Each row represents two different lists (one in each column). I’d like to be able to compare the two columns and remove what is common in both. For example
Row 1:
Column 1: Apple, Orange, Pineapple, Kiwi
Column 2: Apple, Kiwi
Result: Column 3: Orange, Pineapple
Row 2:
Column 1: Banana, Orange, Grape, Kiwi, Pineapple, Passion Fruit
Column 2: Orange, Grape, Pineapple
Result: Column 3: Banana, Kiwi, Passion Fruit
etc.
The general functionality is to be able to compare (two or more arrays) and perform some kind of action.
Is this something that could be worked on?
Let me know if you’d like more details.
There are a few other posts here from people who have similar requests and ideas:
