Hi! I’ve using airtable at my job for over two year now, and it is a great database tool! Moreover, it’s great to watch it grow and add new features. I suggest adding an automation action that allows updating a multiple select field on a record by appending it. Today, the automation update action will overwrite the field, not add to it.

It would be very helpful to have the ability to customize the Record view to move fields around, create fields next to each other and create sections. Drag and Drop would be ideal.

In the Last Modified Time formula you can watch for changes in selected fields. I wish I could also add a condition filter to only watch for changes in the selected field if there is a value match. I know I can do that via an additional separate field that will have a match-type function and then watch for changes of this field using the last-modified-time field… But it just ads unnecessary fields in Airtable. If Last Modified Time formula can do that, it eliminates need for the extra field. With number of fields in Airtable limited to 500 fields, saving every field counts.

This would be a very helpful feature for me. I use the page designer app quite a lot, and setting up multi-page templates in one base has been quite time consuming. I now need to move at least two of these to another base, to save having to download the pdfs, upload them to an attachment field, and then sync this filed to the other base. I’d rather not have to do this, or to re-create the page designer templates again in the new base.

Would save time for us if we could have a count of records in a given view. Use case is we have a “Invalid” view which filters down to rows that have marked as invalid by a tool. would save user time if our users could see if there are records in that view without having to click into it.

I’ve recently migrated our organization’s entire product roadmap and planning infrastructure to Airtable. Overall we’re extremely happy with the product. One little thing that is absolutely driving me nuts is the limitation with the predefined zoom levels for the visual timeline view. If I’m interested in viewing only one year at a time, I have to use the 5-year preset to really be able to see everything with enough context for it to be digestible. It would be nice to have either a 3-year preset OR an open-ended adjustable width slider so we can customize the view to fit any screen size. Thank you very much for your consideration!

The interface module doesn’t seem to currently have the capability of adding / deleting a record. I would suggest maybe having a new type of element (Button) that could be added to the interface (i.e. button that could be settup to create record in xyz table, with maybe a popup requesting selected fields to be filled and then positionning to current record being edited)

Frequently I need to post an Airtable view link AS my referral link. The audience I’m creating them for wants both. But posting the two links confuses them, because the referral link doesn’t take them to the view and the view doesn’t create the referral. I end up irritating and confusing my target audience instead of them getting excited about Airtable. Them they don’t want Airtable links anymore. Not to mention me having less motive to share Airtable with more people, since my referral link is effectively worthless. Please help me fix this problem.

I need to make my data available to the public, where they can sort, filter, and group the tables to their heart’s content, to analyze the data for their own purposes. But NOT to have permission to edit, delete, or add to the data. Please, please do this! I need it badly.

The description field is rather narrow, results in a long column of text that is cut of at the end of the screen for me. I wish the size of the description field could be set, at least wider than it is now. The default value could be in pixels as it is now, and I would override it e.g. as percentage of available screen. Here is what I mean:
