Issue: The Description app is handy, but it’s too easy to edit and accidentally modify. Example: when you set up a series of links as a resource, users have to click to EDIT the description in order to get a little popup that you can THEN click to open the URL. I would consider this unexpected UX. Expected Behavior: A description should be read-only unless you explicitly want to modify it. This way, clicking on it doesn’t lead to accidental modification, and a link will should just open on the first click. Suggested Fix: Add an Edit button. Adding an extra step is probably worth it in a lot of use cases where you really do just want a Description to be static most of the time. And it would make the Description app more useful as a resource, i.e. a way to share important or helpful links. ... View more

I’m really liking the new “My Favorites” view feature. It would be wonderful if Airtable could allow you to “favorite” Apps as well. I use the same 4-5 apps repeatedly between bases and every time I create a new base, I have to search for the apps. Would be great if all of my favorites were just there on the first page when I go to add an app. ... View more

Let’s say you have 2 tables within a single base: Department and People. Next, pretend you create a single new record in the Department table and link 3 People records: Alice, Bob, and Chris. So the “People” column in the Department table contains the record links and we “Allow linking to multiple records” option enabled. This column also records the order of the People records linked, where the records are positioned in the order of: Alice (first), Bob (second), Chris (third). Next, I’d like to create a VIEW in the People table that shows this corresponding position for these people for this Department. That way, if someone re-orders the linked People to be (hypothetically): Bob (first), Alice (second), and Chris (third) – then this VIEW in the People table would automatically re-order those records, accordingly. The problem is that I don’t think there’s a way to expose Linked Record positional information automatically through any sort of Lookup. ... View more

Hi. I have created a “master base” for an client. This base has many tables (~30) that all reflect entities that are important to the clients business/workflow and I’ve applied normalization as much as possible. I have tried using Airtable’s sync feature to split out related information into separate bases. However, after using sync, data becomes read-only so no edits can be made and data is no longer available in “real-time”. I am using miniExtentions for the client’s project (since line-item entry and other features are needed) and they always need the ability to edit and add data wherever possible (directly from miniExtentions forms, grids or cards). As a result of the clients needs, I have always resorted back to the single base design with many tables since separate bases with sync doesn’t work for the clients use case. Considering the above, what is the best way to organize a base with many tables (~30)? It’s super annoying to have to scroll through so many tables! #FeatureRequest — It would be nice if there was a way to visually group common tables together within the same base. Any ideas on how to better organize the tables? I assume I am not the only one facing this problem as a result of client needs and I believe people that are creating client portals or forms using miniExtentions, Stacker, Softr, or a similar tool are facing the same issue. Please assist. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks. ... View more

Not all of the Airtable users are young and blessed with good eyesight. Some of us are over 40 and it is VERY hard to read the contrast on the field headings. Please make them darker or give us the ability to make them darker and legible. Is it even ADA compliant being so faint and small? You can fix this so please do! ... View more

So all the hidden fields on my laptop are not hidden on my phone. I see that hiding fields on mobile has been requested since at least 2018, and I’m wondering if any progress has been made on this front? Is this something that could be achieved with one of the apps or something? ... View more

I would like to see more control over hidden fields. Let’s see if I can elaborate. Keep in mind that these examples will be based on the fact that the Airtable is in “Gallery” view and is embedded on a website for the general public to view. Let’s set up a table of companies. Here we have a gallery view that shows the viewer the company logo, company name, where they are based out of, and whether or not they are still in business. You can change this information that’s displayed on the “preview” of the cards by clicking on “customize cards”. That’s great! This is the point where I suggest making changes. It would be great to see three different hidden views. Fields that can only be seen on the “front of the card/card preview” as shown above. This is great and is already implemented. No change is needed here! Fields that can only be seen when the card is expanded/clicked. This is great and is already implemented. I suggest getting rid of the “hidden fields” toggle within the card though and just display the information. Maybe have another toggle menu next to the “Customize Cards” where you can chose what you see on expanded view. (See below) Fields that can permanently be hidden, even in the expanded view. For example, the record id and form URLs do not need to be seen by anyone other than the table owner. The image below is an example of what information could/needs be permanently hidden to a viewer (aka the general public). I hope this all makes sense, and I would love to see Airtable implement this! Next, maybe we can style the cards with CSS and do away with needed third-party apps (like softr, miniextentions, pory, etc) to make the “modals” pretty? 😅 ... View more
