Hi – We are running into challenges in having a large number of users with Editor permissions that need to be able to update records in our tables, but also make changes to the View configuration (filters, groupings, etc) that break usage models that we’ve put in place. The bulk of our users are ones that need read-write permissions at the record level, but don’t need the ability to change the view filters/configuration of public, shared views. So our use case is something like this: Configure a views that work well for a given purpose Assign an owner responsible for making any changes to the view configuration (including fielding requests for such changes). For example, a “View Owner” field at the View level. Lock this configuration, such that it can only be unlocked and edited/updated by the above owner Make the view visible to all our users as a sort of “officially blessed” view Allow other users to edit the records but not change the view configuration in-place Allow them to clone the view privately if they want to make their own version of the view (but leave the original untouched), for example via Private Views Make sure everyone can determine who the “owner” user is so they can contact them to ask for changes / updates to the locked view. Private views don’t do it because their visibility is tied to all users, not individual views – we want to be able to show/hide (or publish/unpublish) one view at a time, vs show/hide everyone’s private view. I’m aware that user permissions is an active area of enhancement requests, so this overlaps somewhat with the following (especially the first two), but I couldn’t find this specific use case written up so I thought I’d submit it independently.

If you do a lot of importing/exporting of CSV or Excel data with Airtable, you know that invisible leading or trailing whitespace can wreak havoc on your work, especially when you try to use text data from outside Airtable to match existing single-/multi-select fields or link fields. I’ve spent many hours tracking down these kinds of errors with imported data. While you can use TRIM formulas and the like outside of Airtable to clean the data beforehand, that’s not always convenient if you don’t control the source of the data (or that data changes frequently). What about an option on single line text fields in Airtable to automatically trim leading/trailing whitespace characters once the user is done editing the field? Seems like it would save a lot of headaches and would be easy to implement. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? It should be possible to use detail view templates across interfaces if they are based on the same table, e.g., I have one interface that shows products and one interface that shows tasks and tasks are linked to products. Within the product interface I allow users to click into the details of the linked tasks and currently I have to recreate my task detail view across interfaces. How does is solve the user problems? I'd save time as I don't have to recreate detail views that I've already set up // I wouldn't have any discrepancies between detail views.  How was this validated? We have this issue constantly and are experiencing increased workload through this Who is the target audience? Builders ... View more

When communicating with a developer I want to be able to paste pictures into the comments - just like it would be possible to insert it into Slack/Gmail. This helps when we’re seeing bugs in the development. Alternative right now is to upload the picture in one of the fields, but this is slightly more cumbersome and you cannot connect this easily to one of the comments ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? It often makes sense to use a unique id field as the primary field in a database (for example "customer_id"), especially as linking records requires the primary field to be used. When this data is then displayed within an Interface, many of the interface elements will show the primary field in bold at the top of the record, when most end users would wish to see the customer name for example.  How does is solve the user problems? Interfaces would be far more clear if records could be displayed with more control over if or how the primary field is displayed, allowing databases to reserve the primary field for unique data strings.

I’ve got an idea about making comments more obvious. In this current version, the comments seem hidden. If the team has a lot of people, it’s very difficult to see what’s really going on: Did it have new comments? Where they comment? I don’t have the feeling that I can take control. So I make 2 concepts of fixing the comment feature. Hope you love it and inspire you. Concept A: Concept B: ... View more
