What is the proposed idea/solution? The interface search bar will return 0 results if the beginning of the string is not entered How does is solve the user problems? We use airtable to track our jobs.  We have several jobs that start with the same 4 digits (2714XXX).  When we search for a part we typically just enter the last 3 or 4 digits of the part number instead of the whole part number.  For example a part number 27142264 we would just enter 2264 in the search bar.   How was this validated? In our base if you enter 2264 in the search bar it returns 0 results, but if you enter 27142264 it returns 2 results. Who is the target audience? Anyone that uses the search bar and cannot remember the start of the string they are searching for or anyone that uses part numbers similar to our system. ... View more

I have an automation trying to update multiple fields of a record. Sometimes it fails and give me this error : Error: Field "fldKGWwykYE5qbRTG" cannot accept the provided value. Could you update the error message to provide the Field name instead of ID. Logging the "provided value" could also be very precious. It will be very helpful for debugging to understand what happened and how to avoid it in the future. Thanks a lot! ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Currently, Maps extension (which utilizes Google Maps API) supports dynamic marker size "by field"'; however, this field may only be a static `Number` (or equivalent such as `Rating`). A computed number such as `Count` should be eligible as a source field. How does is solve the user problems? In my case, I am trying to size markers based on a `Link` to a separate table. I wish to count the number of linked records as the determinant of map market size. How was this validated? Tested with four columns: Number, Single line text having number values, Rating, and Count of linked record. Number and Rating are eligible fields for `by Field` map marker size configuration option, the others are not (grayed out). Who is the target audience? Any user of Map extension. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? The ability to set owner as non collaborator/builder so he does not have access to the bases but has only access to workspace settings. How does is solve the user problems? The problem is that in our organization there are users who are administering the workspaces and different users are building. We don't want builders to have access to workspace settings so there is another user who is administering the workspace - the only thing he does is managing the billing and administration features. Since the user is not a collaborator the workspace shouldn't be charged for him. How was this validated? Each owner is collaborator and we have to pay for him even though he doesn't collaborate. Who is the target audience? Each company who have separated group of users administering the workspace from collaborators. ... View more

All macOS apps are supposed to have rounded square icons. Who is the target audience? All users of the Airtable macOS desktop app. ... View more

I'm excited to use the external calendar feature (described here) to bring my Airtable data into my other scheduling tools. I understand that each record's primary field will be shown as the event titles, but for this to be really useful, I'd like to be able to specify additional fields to map to the other properties in the iCalendar VEVENT spec (here), such as the location and the description. It would be nice to use a different field for the event title as well, since the primary field is used so heavily elsewhere in Airtable. I realize I might be able to use an Automation to create and update the events in Google Calendar, but keeping everything in sync this way adds a lot of complexity and brittleness. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? There is not currently an option to add a generic search bar to a custom interface page.  The only option is to have different filter options How does is solve the user problems? It would give users the abilty to search multiple different fields without having to make sure they are typing matching text in the correct filter option How was this validated? User experience.  The photo attatched shows the custom view that is being used, the reason I do not change it to the prefigured Kanaban view is because there is another view below it that I like having on the same page as the Kanaban view. Who is the target audience? Airtable users ... View more

Sometimes the top-to-bottom scroll is not user friendly, having separation of sections into clickable pages in expanded records can make it cleaner How was this validated? Just use existing Sections and make them side by side Who is the target audience? ... ... View more
