🚀 Softr Databases are here!

[FPX]

@Jjenglert Thanks for this update as really helps seeing the direction. Can you please help clarify for me;

Re Point 4:

Will the one click import allow import for all the existing Airtable scripts and existing automations?

Re Point 6:

Will softr database not handle scripts as we currently use this for updating/creating tens of thousands of records every day (mostly updating).

Additional Qs:

1. One of Airtables biggest weakness is PDF generation requiring APIs to other 3rd party PDF generators. I would think this would be number 1 priority feature for value add? When would Softr have that as personally we couldnt justify moving backend to re map all our 3rd party integrations unless Softr are better than Airtable in terms of functionality (not just performance speed).

2. When will AI fields be available as we use them all the time when a new record is created, triggering AI fields, analysing pdfs etc. And how will they be better than Airtable?

3. We use Airtable to generate QR codes for packets (bundled products) that are receipted into stock. Our users then click button to print these off and staple onto packet.
   Users can these scan these codes via their mobile.
   Can you let me know when this will work in Softr otherwise we couldnt move away from Airtable and I assume many other inventory users are in the same position?

4. For actions on creating/uploading Products, we use an airtable form where users select products based on images as Softrs conditinal forms dont allow images to be shown against the record. When will Softr allow this as otherwise we are unable to user Softr for this? See below link to feature request.

Display lookup images in conditional forms

Display lookup fields in conditional forms. E.g. if someone were to click on ‘Choose Colour’ in a form then user would not just see ‘red’ but also the image field related to that colours table.

5. In Softr front end we manually have to create filters as Softr doesnt handle look up fields. When will Softr allow for this? See below link to feature request.

Allow auto syncing for look up fields!

Allow auto syncing for look up fields… especially single select fields or dates as currently having to write out January → December and all 37 years (of history…) just to have filters work… Surely this is not a hard one to implement? [image]

6. Softr front end doesnt allow colour palletes on tags for Airtable single select fields generated from formulas. When will Softr allow for this? And will Sofrr databases have single select conversion options like Airtable does? See below

Tag Colour Palette: 'As defined in source' not working for Airtable database

Choosing ‘as defined in data source’ shows no colour on tags where the database is Airtable and the Status is a formula with single select outputs. See below pics. [image] [image] [image]

Thanks!
