Universal Tags fields

i create weekly task table for my activities, but adding tags with multi select is slow,

Airtable

Airtable: Organize anything you can imagine

Airtable works like a spreadsheet but gives you the power of a database to organize anything. Sign up for free.

it will be faster if there are tags fields that i can type it once in a place and use it in each column instead of using multi select and retyping the tags for each column fields

This would be extremely helpful. I’d like to just type into the field with a delimiter, and change the visualization to the current multi-select visualization or to another delimiter in the UI. I see how this can currently be accomplished by switching between single-line and multi-select formats, but ultimately it would make the most sense for there to be an input/visualization format that doesn’t convert the data, but does offer flexibility in how it is input and visualized. Maybe specifically a “tag” cell type.

I’d also love to see a tag field type

• 1! Really want to be able to tag long-input text that makes it searchable by tag! Airtable team, is this on your roadmap? :slightly_smiling_face:

I Agree that tags cell type would be helpful, as would a way to group by tag. Currently sorting using ‘Group’ for multi-select field type is cumbersome, and there’s not other way to display by individual tags. Looking for more functionality around tags.

Any update on universal CSV tagging feature? Would be very helpful

This is literally the only feature keeping Airtable from being 100% perfect, but it’s a big missing piece. Universal tags - preferably simple to use and visually appealing for other team members - are a must-have.

Late to this thread, but absolutely agree. I’m impressed by AirTable, but a universal tags field type seems sorely lacking. For now, I’ll create my own delimited lists and assume that I’ll be able to convert them to true arrays later.

Likewise late to this convo but I agree that tagged fields would be extremely helpful. We have tables with many fields, for projects with several collaborators, and it would save a lot of time/headache if it were possible to create views by filtering out different field classes (sort of CSS-style logic) rather than having to manually hide each one.

i agree too that tag type field would be useful

Would LOVE tags as well. Let’s get this going Airtable!
