I realise that this must feel like old ground and a Iknow a lot of poeple have been begging for this for a long time and I know you think were very pleased to announce you’d fixed it - but certainly with regardless the long discussions earlier in the eyar - you obvsiously werent’ reading it properly. Taht group weren’t asking to embed stuff IN airtable - why would you want ot do that when you can only share it with users or put it in the programme. This content is made to be published obviously !!! And these days for most of us that means in our website. bAsically you’ve developed a lovely dashboarding tool but wont let us actually use it. We want to embed blocks and the pages they are in in our EXTERNAL WEBSITE. not the other way round. And no, the embed one block with the table isnt’t he answer and no just being able to view a picture isn’t the answer - integrated, live data from airtable into our websites pLEASE

I’d like to request the ability to add new linked records in interface forms. I use forms for adding data and I need to be able to create new linked records. this is a huge limitation at this time.

I see how to use a formula to insert the “Date Created”
I would love to be able to insert a date for “Last Time Updated”.
I have a base that tracks tasks. Knowing when the last time the task was updated would help me sort and prioritize tasks.

List views within interfaces, and List page layouts do not support/show the sum of values of a given field (e.g. number, currency, etc). However, this is actually supported for grid views. -see comparison in image below. Even if something similar can be achieved using different workarounds as mentioned by @ScottWorld and @ATSolutionist in this other post submitted by @Scott_Brasted, a native out of the box solution seems completely needed.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Somewhere within the Automations tab, it should show you how many automations you've created and how many are remaining out of your 50. Otherwise, users are forced to manually count how many automations they've created and then subtract, which seems completely unnecessary.

I would be great if we could add buttons or links at the top of an interface sidesheets/full sheet record detail view to 'jump' to groups within the sheet. For record details sheets that are pretty long, this would be useful.

I'd love to be able to designate universal variables that could be referenced from any table in a base. So, for example, if I have a sales tax rate of 8%, I'd like to set that sales tax rate in one single place and then be able to reference that in formulas across the entire base. Currently, if I want to set up this type of variable, I need to 1) create a table of variables then 2) make sure every single record in the other tables is linked to the variables table 3) add a lookup field to every table that looks up this universal variable 4) create a formula which references this variable in the lookup field. For each universal variable, one should be able 1) give it a unique name that could be referenced in formulas across the entire table 2) set a data type (number, currency, percentage, etc) Then, if the sales tax rate changes, I just update the reference variable, and the changes propagate to all the formulas in the base that reference it. It's true that this could be done with manual copy paste or automations, but that's a LOT of work or automations for a very basic bit of functionality. It could easily eat into an automations cap on an AirTable plan. I imagine that it is pretty easy to script for someone who knows how to code, but that's a lot of work (or vendor cost) just to set a variable. I'd love to be able to tell AirTable: "I'm creating a universal variable called "SalesTax". It is a percentage variable." Then enter the number 8% and be done.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Include the ability to "store" or "save" scripts and processes for reuse in multiple automations. How does it solve the user problems? Instead of having to manage multiple automations using the same script/process, they can be modified/updated in a single place and update all automations that use them once changes are published. Pipedream does a nice job of this. It would save me a lot of time, and reduce the potential for errors. How was this validated? Personal experience managing complex automations Who is the target audience? Airtable power users and consultants

It would be great if there was an option to allow for CSV imports within interfaces. 2 potential use cases are: The ability to upload CSV's in a list view that adds new records to the list The ability to upload CSV's in a Record Detail View that would automatically add child records to a list/linked record field I'm sure there are plenty more scenarios but these are the 2 I'm currently facing.

For displaying trended data side-by-side, it would be great to have support for side-by-side bar charts!
