Hi Team! We're using page designer to export some of our form responses. It would be a great help if we could select multiple or highlight multiple data and move them at once, instead of moving them 1 by 1. Please let us know if this is possible. Thank you!

What is the proposed idea/solution? An enhancement to the record selector that pops up in an Interface when you click on a Field element for a linked record. Currently it allows you to filter and select one option. I would like the ability to filter and select multiple options, eg by holding down the shift key. How does is solve the user problems? Linked Record fields can be linked to multiple records, however there is no straightforward way to assign multiple records in one shot. The filter allows you to see records that are related by a common part of their name -- it is too bad you have to repeatedly type in the common part of it because you can only select one record at a time.

Can you please provide an alert that will warn me (notification or email or both) if there is an excessive run of Automations. Recently I had an error in my formula. Unfortunately that error caused an Automation to run constantly and it was running for hours, I don’t know how long but after a day or so I ran out of the 50,000 automations. That was completely unnecessary and I would have stopped by fixing the formula (or pausing automation and then fixing formula). Anyhow, I would say there should be a warning if I am reaching 50%, 75% and 90% of allocated automations. I am not asking Airtable to kick me off the grid and disable those Automations completely, but rather warn me about the situation. That would save resources on Airtable servers and prevent me running dry and then have to wait till the months is over to get replenished again. I know Airtable provides higher plan upgrade but I think in this case this is all just wasted electricity 😉

Hi there!
I’d like to be able to group different records on one horizontal line or near each other as opposed to random. It would be awesome if this would work automagically by using grouping in the view.
This way you would e.g. be able to create single rows for segmented phases (different colors) of individual projects. One project would always be one line (or group) in this example.
Right now if you have more than one project with multiple phases (multiple records starting & ending neatly after each other) the lines are plotted all over the place.
In short I’d love to able to influence the horizontal position of records somehow.
Best,
Arthur.

I have a condition that Inputs Boolean and outputs Boolean, and i wish to make it appear (format it) as a checkbox and not as a string “true” or “false” IF(Field1 = TRUE(), TRUE(), FALSE()) Thanks

Filter Show/Hide Fields by Field Type The ability to filter the fields displayed in the Show/Hide vertical menu from the features bar on a Table. This would work in conjunction with the search functionality. This is handy when a Table has many fields and specific searching for specific field types. Conceptually this could be a dropdown list of multiselect field types OR a box below the search bar that has the different field type icons to select. Example: Filter only for Fields Types = Formula

For the card layout in the grid view, you can’t control which fields display or how much width they take up. I am working on an interface design where I have a long text field which gets cut off after a few words, one field that isn’t necessary to display, and a ton of white space which could be used to display more text. It would be very useful to be able to control the width of the fields and which fields are shown (like with kanban cards). This affects sharing a grid view with the card layout turned on, how linked records display in the full record view, and in the interface view.

Background: It has been raised a couple times before (here, here, here, here and here) but it is still not implemented.
Feature request:
Ability to specifiy a default value for date fields.
We have default values for single line text field and number field, it is reasonable to ask for the same feature for date fields. Ideally let us put a formula there, such as:
CREATED_TIME()
DATEADD(TODAY(), 2, ‘week’)

Hunting for Fields is my #1 time waster in Airtable. I spend lots of time scrolling horizontally through column headings, or vertically through the Fields Pane. I have 5x more fields than I do Views in most Tables and I interact with them (i.e. need to find them) more often too. Why not add the “Sections” functionality for Fields, like the one that Views have?

What is the proposed idea/solution? For film production, we need the ability to sum durations that are 24 frames per second. HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS:FRAMES With the current 00:00:00 format, it does not calculate accurately. ... How does is solve the user problems? With the current duration formatting we can come close, but not be exact when summing TRT from multiple fields. A timecode format would allow accurate calculations. ... How was this validated? Currently there's no way to tell AT that after 24 frames it's a new second. ... Who is the target audience? film production and editorial users ...
