This would go a long way in letting many of us move completely away from Trello, Asana, Etc. into Airtable. I know there are workarounds (link to another tableโs list containing the tasks), but that quickly becomes overly cumbersome. Would love to have simple checklist as a field option!
Please can we get this!!! Itโs really essential for me! Iโm seriously considering switching to Things because itโs so much better on this dimension.
I am a new user to Airtable as of 20 minutes ago. Iโm so surprised that after the (fairly) pleasant emphasis on onboarding experience, such a key productivity feature is totally omitted. I will now be unsubscribing, because it seems like your product managers can go two years ignoring key features and user feedback - who knows what Iโd need in the future that Iโd have to wait years for.
yes, a well thought out checklist feature would be aweseome. But I understand that this is not as easy as it seems to fit to the basic metholigy of airtable. Still I hope you find the right fit to make checklists with airtable easier!
Agreed. This has been one of the main issues switching part of my team over to Airtable. This would certainly benefit product developers who need that checklist to stay on track.
There might be a little workaround. You can keep adding a single text followed by checklist field. This way you can describe your checklist tasks and check them for each kanban ticket individually. Its not perfect but it could work for some people.
[Single Text 1] [Checklist 1] [Single Text 2] [Checklist 2] [Single Text 3] [Checklist 3]
Iโm totally onboard with getting a checklist. I have several different types of clients and would like to have a default checklist for each client type. Then if I have a Type One client I could link that clientโs name to a Type One Checklist for him, then link my Type Two client to a checklist for her, then my second Type One client have her own Type One checklist, etc. What would be really great would be to be able to have comments for items on the checklist. If I need to deliver widgets to Joe, it would be great to be able to put a comment by โDeliver Widgetsโ where I could note โWidgets to be sent to Second Street addressโ or โWidgets damaged in shipping; need to send replacements.โ
Related is the essence of a collection inside a record of which checklists is one possibility. Lists of pretty much anything would be helpful in eliminating one-to-many relationships that are generally unnecessary complexities.
It looks like this is solved (or nearly solved) with the addition of rich text editing, which I believe is now in beta. I have access to it and can confirm that checklists are present.
Tried to post screen grabs but Airtable forum wonโt let me.
