It would be pretty cool if Airtable could dynamically & automatically expand the height of each record’s row height, based on how much information each record was displaying in its longest “long text field” or its longest “lookup field”. I got this idea from this post here: Vlookup Style Search in the Same Table ... View more

This post inspired me to make this product suggestion. We already have the DATETIME_FORMAT function, which lets us use a formula field to reformat the data from a date-type field into a text string of our specifications. But it would be really great to have that exact same ability to reformat a number field or a currency field into a text string of our specifications. For example, take these 2 fields: Currency Field — formatted as currency with $ sign and precision of 2 decimal points Number Field — formatted as decimal with precision of 4 decimal points If we put these 2 fields into a formula that results in anything other than a single number result, they lose all of their formatting. So instead of a desired sentence which looks something like this: “You bought 0.4500 pounds at $2,200 each.” The formula currently looks like this: “You bought 0.45 pounds at 2200 each.” We can easily add in the dollar sign, but adding in the commas and trailing zeros is harder to do in a calculation. ...

I am sure this was requested before, having the single select with a default option is very important saves time and unnecessary key strokes hehe ... View more

Would it be feasible to have optional spell checking for fields? This needs to be optional to allow for columns which would regularly have values which would not pass a check. ... View more

We’d love a new block that enabled people to up-vote records. This block could be used to track ideas and requests. We use an Airtable form to collect ideas and requests and the ability to “+1” a previously requested entry would be incredibly valuable! ... View more

I love the configurability of views and filters. However, for the bases I use most frequently, I end up with a dozen or so different views mostly differing by combinations of a smaller number of filters, and I’d have more if it didn’t become too difficult to remember, configure, and update them. It would be very useful to be able to add a bar of buttons to toggle frequently used pre-defined filters on and off. The Kanban views in JIRA have this, and I really miss having something similar in AirTable (in both Kanban and Grid views). Thanks again for the great product - and keep making it better. ...

I may be a bit insane but in about 3 weeks I’ve put together around 40 tables to model my little organization. Each table really does hold different type of information so it’s not that I’m doing the old spreadsheet version of one table per company, etc. Since the primary focus of all of my tables is on persons and linkages to companies (currently around 1,000 and 100), I can’t separate the other tables into another base without copying the person/company tables which wouldn’t be real-time/integrated. Some RDBMS offer the way to group tables/views/etc.into “schemas” which make the visualization of relations a bit easier. With Airtable’s tabs across the top being pretty useless for this many tables, I need to use the dropdown, which is OK. What I’d like to see is some way to identify a group of tables that belong together, perhaps on the tab bar and a dropdown there to select one. Of course, it would be best if the active table is actually shown in the browser title bar or somewhere. Currently there are times you can’t see what table you’re working in. ... View more

It would be a big help if could update your Zapier Zap to support line items. It allows Zapier to do something with ALL found records, not just the first found record. For Each.
