What is the proposed idea/solution? I propose adding a reminder functionality into commenting that integrates with Airtable's Notifications function. Exact implementation could vary, but the ability to tag a user (or yourself) and select a length of time or an exact date when you'll receive an Airtable notification directing you back to the record.  How does is solve the user problems? While date/time fields, calculations, and email automations can be utilized to create reminders for users in a record's data, that then becomes an integral part of a records data. Often I see a temporary change need to be enacted and returned to a month or two later, and being able to simply comment a reminder to re-visit the record would be invaluable. Instead of setting multiple fields and automations, integrating with the comments section provides a side space to set a "Hey! Come back to this!" reminder which fits the use cases of comments. Who is the target audience? All users, but particularly those managing ongoing data sets rather than discrete projects. In my particular case, we re-check our data records every 6 months, but occasionally there are scheduled changes (a location we document is closed until X date) which need to be expressed and then re-evaluated off schedule.  ...

When an automation uses a repeated group, it can run for an extended period of time. Currently, there is no option to forcefully stop the automation midway, leaving users waiting for it to finish. Additionally, while the automation history displays the start time, it does not show the end time, making it difficult to determine the total runtime. It would be highly beneficial to provide the end time and total elapsed time in the automation history to enhance usability and monitoring capabilities.   ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Airtable desperately needs more options for date filtering. Most importantly the following: within next calendar week/month within past calendar week/month on or before the end of this calendar week on or before the end of next calendar week Airtable barely has filters for calendar weeks which is extremely frustrating because most program managers are looking at the tasks for the given week and it is super annoying to have to make it a custom between 2 date fields because saying on or before one week from now will show tasks from the following week within the first few days. How does is solve the user problems? This makes searches more automated so they will automatically show you what is happening in the given calendar week/month without having to do the current way which is: Date is on or after 11/1/2024 or date is on or before 11/30/2024 (which has to manually be changed every month). It just makes things unnecessarily difficult when it should just be simple to add these date filters.  ... View more

Nested records don't currently have a great way to view, as the list view hierarchy only supports nested records in some contexts, and has a limited number of levels shown when it is supported. Implement a view or add to an existing view (e.g. list) the ability to have nested records of the same type and infinite (or at least more) levels of nesting displayed. The ability to fold nested levels to better navigate the list would make this very manageable for large datasets with several layers of nesting.  ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? The org chart extension is a great tool to visualise a tree of records where there is a parent/child relationship implemented using a linked field to a record of the same type. However, the extension isn't easy to integrate into an interface and there is no good way for an end user to choose which group of records should be visualised.  How does is solve the user problems? Adding the visualisation to interface designer integrates this data view into interfaces and could provide the end user some control over what records are displayed in the visualisation ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? to avoid needing to use automations to populate a record when clicking a button, allow the 'update record' action to use dynamic values as you can currently do using automations. How does is solve the user problems? As the number of automations is limited to 50, this avoids needing to use trivial automations to capture dynamic updates to a record, for example setting a date/time field to the last modified time to note when a change was made, or copying user provided text into another field. ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? I use the Timeline view to plan staff resourcing, and I need to see when weekends are so that we can plan around them. The single letters representing days are very small, and visually it takes very intentional cross-checking between the entries and the records and the days on the timeline at the top, which makes the process a lot more fiddly. Currently, the only way to do this visually in the way I'd need it is to create a record for a weekend and colour it based on the day of the week and tag it in every swim lane, however, creating an empty record purely for a weekend could potentially cause data issues. It'd be easier if we had the options to colour dates on the UI. How does is solve the user problems? People could track regular deadlines, weekends, public holidays etc on timelines without the need to create a record (potentially causing data issues) to do so.  ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add an option to display a form in multiple languages with a toggle drop down for the end user, like it is in Microsoft Forms How does is solve the user problems? Allows people trying to reach multilingual groups to easily select their preferred language to fill out the form without having separate links to multiple versions of the form. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Any users who use forms and have a diverse audience. ... View more

Some buttons can have rules applied to them so that they only appear for certain users, for example. Other buttons don't, like top-level 'view' buttons. This means I still have to duplicate interfaces to provide differing levels of access. Please enable 'Visibility Rules' for all buttons in interfaces. See attached image of where this configuration could go. ... View more
