When a Lookup Field is configured to return either a Single Select or Multiple Select field, a count Field fails to allow the count of the returned values. In the screenshot below, Count should allow the return of the number, 3, 4 and 2. A current workaround of a Rollup Field seems to work, but it's not as convenient/easy to setup as a designated Count field could be - and may bring a performance hit on larger tables.   ...

Within an Automation Script, it's frustrating that we still encounter the inability to update the Single Select or Multi Select field options, with the error returning; "Airtable "Error: Cannot update field config from scripting automation" This limitation forces the user to reconsider the field type, with the alternative solution usually swapping it into a Single Line text field. Interestingly, it is possible to use an Automation Update Record action to do this exact same process, but for whatever reason it's not possible for an Automation Script to execute this very same process. Can this limitation please be reviewed and reconsidered by Airtable Developers? Without this feature, it limits the use of Single Select and Multiple Select fields within bases heavily dependent on Automations. ... View more

User/collaborator fields are kind of a hot mess. It shows 100% of all users, including deactivated users, as options to select. What is the point of user groups if we can't make this a feature to limit options based on a user group? This would allow us to setup multiple user fields for a project and allow each team to manage their team assignments, with only a list of those options on their teams. Then using kanban or timeline view, you would be able to see only the lanes/groups of those in your team for workload balance, etc. Currently when a user selects a user field, they see 100's of users to choose from. And even worse, in a kanban view they see lanes for all 100's of users. Not even an option to limit by only users with projects assigned. So unless you have an extremely small number of collaborators the kanban view is useless for using collaborator field. ... View more

Timeline view is great, especially with ability to split multipleselect/multiplecollaborators into separate groups/lanes. However the display of the actual record in the timeline view is really limited. Attachments as a cover image, akin to kanban, should show a cover image for the record. Instead it currently just shows the file name and link. In addition unless you are zoomed in ultra tight to the dates or your date range is very large, the majority of the details are lost/truncated in timeline view, making it impossible to use. Asana and others push the record details to right side of record when it does not fit in the record box in this view, which is a million times better. Would love this ability as a standard or a toggle option. ... View more

I really need for Kanban to work with a multiselect field the way Timeline works. The ability to group/lane by each option in the multiselect field. Then if there is more than one selection then the card appears in each lane of the selections. I would think that in the split scenario, if a card is selected with options A and B ... then if you grab a card to move it from option A to Option C, it would result in Option B and option C now. If you needed to add a 3rd selection, then you would go into expanded view to edit the selections. We are using this as a todo/workload board. Anything under a team/persons name indicates it's in progress, and we can see what they are working on and when each are due. In some cases we have a task that needs more than one person working on it, but do not want to create new projects for these scenarios. ... View more

Hi all!  I think adding formatting options (bulleted/numbered lists, adding links onto text) and message reactions into the messaging of the activity panel would really enhance its use and overall functionality. How does is solve the user problems? Our company utilizes the activity panel a lot to provide feedback/notes for updates/etc. With longer messages, text in this panel gets hard to consume because there's no easy way to format with more structure and separate out action items. Also, when you just need to know that someone has seen your message in the activity panel, the only way to know they've seen it is for them to respond and @ you, which can then clog up the panel with unnecessary messages. Who is the target audience? Larger collaborative businesses, where lots of conversation needs to happen on records outside of the permanent fields ... View more
