What is the proposed idea/solution? Add a 'Download All' button to attachment fields, which would enable users to download all of the attachments that have been uploaded to a given field in a record. This button could be located next to the current 'Attach File' button. How does is solve the user problems? Currently, you have to download each attachment individually by hovering over the attachment so the download icon appears, click the download icon and then repeat this process for each attachment. This is very time consuming and allows room for error (e.g. accidentally missing an attachment when trying to download all). Who is the target audience? Everyone can benefit from this feature, as it is a fairly useful, basic functionality request that would enhance efficiency. As social media managers, we would use this feature daily and our clients would also benefit from this. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Please add the ability to request a copy of your responses to the Form builder version of forms. This functionality currently exists in the Form "view" but not for forms built in the Form builder. How does is solve the user problems? This allows users to keep a copy for their own records of forms they have submitted. Our team uses this functionality often from the Form "view" version of Forms, but since Airtable is driving users to use the newer Form builder, it would be nice to see this functionality there as well. How was this validated? Who is the target audience? Airtable builders, Airtable end users ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Currently, automations from bases don't activate if that base hasn't been used in a while, unless those bases have automations which are timed.  This creates a problem if there are bases which have synced tables from other bases which haven't been used in a while, so the automations don't fire, even if the data syncs at regular intervals. This means that any data in those synced tables which might be modified by these automations aren't updated as they should be, as the automations aren't firing. It makes sense to me that the bases which have tables synced to other bases should automatically 'wake' when their synced tables are synced to ensure any data in those synced tables is synced. Currently, I use an automation on a timer to automatically wake the base, which is fine, but that also contributes to my automation limits, which is not ideal. How does is solve the user problems? This would prevent data which relies on automations to stay up-to-date does not get outdated because of a sleeping base. How was this validated? I have a table synced from another base which updates it's data every hours. This synced table goes out-of-date after a while even if the destination base has been regularly active. Who is the target audience? Probably business-enterprise users who rely on up-to-date data from synced tables. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Single and Multi-select linked fields in forms should have a toggle in rules to allow users to add a record. How does is solve the user problems? Cleanly and intuitively allowing form users to add new options which may become new trends. @ScottWorld  kindly provided some work-arounds, but the ideal one would be built-in and mirror the UI of adding a record in grid view. How was this validated? Add records in a link to another record field in a form  When adding a new record from a form how do I add a new record "on the fly"  HELP - Attendance log with add new record option in a form or interface  Also my boss was frustrated that it wasn't an option out of the box and we have a project on pause now because of it. Who is the target audience? I think this is a feature that will be used for companies using AirTable for internal processes. In my case our employees encounter new types of customer types and customer issues and I want them to be able to cleanly and intuitively add new options which may become new trends. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? When designing interfaces, if I create a button to create new records, the form does not allow for new options in single-select fields. I know there are workarounds, but a better idea is just to give designers the option via a toggle when in the "Edit pages" designer for forms. This toggle already exists in Interface Designer, (screenshot attached). Please include it for when designing forms within Interfaces.  How does is solve the user problems? Makes users' lives easier. Enhances Airtable's capabilities. Currently they have to do workaround that involve multiple steps, and I'd rather not make a process take 3 steps when 1 would do. How was this validated? ? Who is the target audience? Everyone using the Interface forms. ... View more

I'd love to be able to designate universal variables that could be referenced from any table in a base. So, for example, if I have a sales tax rate of 8%, I'd like to set that sales tax rate in one single place and then be able to reference that in formulas across the entire base. Currently, if I want to set up this type of variable, I need to 1) create a table of variables then 2) make sure every single record in the other tables is linked to the variables table 3) add a lookup field to every table that looks up this universal variable 4) create a formula which references this variable in the lookup field. For each universal variable, one should be able 1) give it a unique name that could be referenced in formulas across the entire table 2) set a data type (number, currency, percentage, etc) Then, if the sales tax rate changes, I just update the reference variable, and the changes propagate to all the formulas in the base that reference it. It's true that this could be done with manual copy paste or automations, but that's a LOT of work or automations for a very basic bit of functionality. It could easily eat into an automations cap on an AirTable plan. I imagine that it is pretty easy to script for someone who knows how to code, but that's a lot of work (or vendor cost) just to set a variable. I'd love to be able to tell AirTable: "I'm creating a universal variable called "SalesTax". It is a percentage variable." Then enter the number 8% and be done.   ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Currently we've got the option of formatting a formula field as a single select, I'd like to format it as a muliple choice How does is solve the user problems? I'd use this feature for labeling records with what fields still need to be filled. Lets say the Name and Email fields are empty, it would show at the top of the record red labels of what information still needs to be filled in the record, and as you enter the info, the labels disappear. Yes you can use automations with a script for this, but it doesn't work instant. it takes 10-15 seconds per run. using a formula would be instant. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Hide the large image/space in an interface when no records match a view's filters. Currently when there are no records, it actually takes up much more visual space than if there is one matching record.   How does is solve the user problems? Hiding or condensing this visual would make it much easier for users/clients/readers to scroll a page quickly and see relevant information ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? In interface page layouts, add the ability to collapse groups so that the header is visible but the fields nested beneath are not. An added bonus would be the ability to select whether a group is expanded or collapsed by default in the page template.... How does is solve the user problems? I have several interface page views that are quite long, and not all groups are applicable to all records. Allowing me to collapse the groups that are not relevant would make it easier for me to see and edit the most important information efficiently. How was this validated? This is generally accepted as useful functionality and exists in other places in the Airtable app. Google docs just recently added this functionality as well.  Who is the target audience? Anyone using interface page views with many forms/groups ... View more
