BASIC Functionalities Still Missing

Feature Requests
1

As someone who loves Softr, recommends it to all my clients, and uses it almost everyday, there are a few features that I am still baffled that are not present yet.

  • Filter dropdown options

    • This is honestly such a key feature ALL of my clients ask for. Frankly, some clients pay EXTRA for Fillout Forms because they have this feature
    • The ability to predefined dynamic filters that only show certain options in forms or record adding dialogues

  • Native toggles

    • The vibe coding block somewhat helps but is quite finicky with this. The same way we have tabbed containers, a native toggled container on each page would be huge - another ask from many clients

  • Conditional Action Forms

    • Action buttons should be able to mimic form features (logic, pages, etc)
    • Right now the workaround is to put the form on a separate page and open it in a modal but it does not pull data from say a line item you need to action.
    • Always wondered why so many features from the action button forms were missing compared to normal forms

  • Remove/toggle default “Required” option

    • When making long forms with lots of fields, I find myself having to go back and mark so many fields as not required. This should be a toggle depending on what people prefer the default option to be

I’m hoping the team can work to prioritize these and other small QOL improvements everyone has been asking for. December was a big month and the Airtable VS2 was an awesome launch! Exciting to see thing continually updated.

This really sounds like feedback coming from someone who actually lives in Softr, not just tries it once and moves on. You’re clearly sold on the platform, which makes the missing pieces stand out even more.

The filter dropdown options one is huge — if clients are paying extra for other tools just to get that, it feels like a gap Softr could easily own. Same with conditional logic in action forms; it’s surprising how much power normal forms have compared to action buttons, especially when real-world workflows need data passed along without awkward workarounds.

Native toggles and better control over “required” defaults are classic quality-of-life improvements too. They don’t sound flashy, but they save so much time when you’re building larger apps or client-facing tools. It’s encouraging that Softr has been shipping fast lately, though — December and the Airtable v2 launch definitely showed momentum. Hopefully the team sees feedback like this and prioritizes these practical, builder-focused upgrades.
