19 July 2022 Please, I love Airtable but the simple notifications are not cutting it for a busy team. We need much more control: an integration of notifications for Comments and @mention, notification control in automations, notifications in Interfaces (we are stuck using Interfaces until this happens) have a goal of notifications serving teams IN AIRTABLE without sending email or Slack or whatever, simply being able to isolate records with outstanding notifications of any kind for the current user in a search would be bliss, and more. I’m sure you get it already but this is as important for team collaboration as being able to do the things Airtable does well: shape the data, make effective interfaces, etc, etc. ... View more

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

I would like email fields in forms to be validated to look like an email, please. ... View more

Have you ever found yourself asking these questions? “Why did I create this field?” “Why do have a ‘Name - Status’ formula in this field?” “Can I delete this field?” "What’ll break if I delete this field? It’d be nice if we could see where our fields are being used. Perhaps a third tab in the “Customize Field Tab” area, right next to “Formatting.” Where it would list dependent fields! BOOM. DO IT! 🙂 ... View more

It would be really great if you could provide a Entity Relationship Diagram that will quickly and concisely communicate the structure of the Base. Something like this: ###Entity Relationship Diagram https://www.edrawsoft.com/images/examples/entity-relationship-diagram.png ... View more

When I view an image of an A4 paper in an attachment field, the viewer doesn’t let me zoom. The viewer fits the entire image to the screen and because of the proportions, it becomes narrow. Most of the time, text is not visible and zooming is necessary. Currently, I right click and open the image in a new tab and display image in its full size. It would be very handy if there was a zooming widget like e-commerce sites use for product pictures. I’m sure you would come up with the best style. I don’t want to leave airtable’s page for looking at pictures and then try to get back to where I was :frowning: ... View more

Snapshots would be much much more useful it they could be named (like Google Drive does) and “pinned” so that they wouldn’t be overwritten by automatic snapshots. ... View more

It would be great if you could paste an image into a cell and either a thumbnail of the image appears OR a URL to the image is created and entered in the cell. If I know a document will require screenshots, I create a google doc instead of using Airtable because it’s just so much easier to use cmd+ctl+shift+4 to generate a screen grab and then paste the image. ...

It would be great to be able to add labels (plain text) and read-only fields (to be able to prefill them) in the forms. Is anything planned in this direction? ... View more
