Short of more granular user permissions (by table, not by base), it would be VERY useful to be able to lock certain recordsโ€ฆ or even certain fields.

We have many, VERY complicated records, that weโ€™d like to use as templates. I want to prevent someone from trying to do their job and accidentally altering the masterโ€ฆ

They donโ€™t even have to be permission lockedโ€ฆjust a button you have to push to MAKE SURE you want to delete/alter it, before you do.

Are there any updates on this?

This is such an important feature! For reporting and compliance, we need the ability to lock individual records.

Seconded.

Especially when dealing with historical records, or financial ones.

If I no longer want any of my records from 2020 to be alterable (even if I alter a column formula in prep for 2021) I have to physically remove that record to another base or table.

It would be great to be able to lock a record so that any changes to the master spreadsheet no longer affect it.

This functionality has more uses than archiving - being able to lock my freelancers or clients out of certain records or fields, but still give them access to the full view. Similarly, an โ€œEditable By XXXโ€ field much like the collaboratorsโ€™ field would be great.

Bump a year later. Iโ€™m a paying pro customer and would really for an Editor to be able to lock/unlock records.
