Fully agree with this and although I don’t think it will make a difference I might as well throw in my list of what I’m currently waiting on:
-
Audit Log – apparently now being released next week which will be amazing! This is extremely important and one of the things SmartSuite does really well - Practical way to track record change history in tables
-
Database Linking (everything we have is linked to a project, company etc so have to have all in one database without this which then means we can’t let additional contributors in as they can then see all the data. Ideally want separate database and then link records across databases and be able to give contributors access to specific database) - https://community.softr.io/t/create-related-record-between-softr-databases/13561/29
-
Navigation trail - Breadcrumb navigation possible - Ask the community - Softr Community
-
Custom Colours on charts – raised 1yr ago and told Q2 2025, then Q3, then Q4 then January 2026 – now nothing - Custom Colours on Charts - Feature Requests - Softr Community
-
Custom Sort order on charts - https://community.softr.io/t/custom-sort-order-on-charts/12458/6
-
Wrap Text on Column Headings - Wrap Text on Column Headings - Feature Requests - Softr Community
-
Lookup Fields in Filters – originally raised relating to SmartSuite as a data source but still doesn’t work even with Softr DB - SmartSuite Lookup Fields in Filters - Feature Requests - Softr Community
-
Grouping Records in table view. This is possible in most other similar tools and although I can get it almost right using vibe coding, I can’t then apply actions for each item - List / Table view - Grouping records - Ask the community - Softr Community
-
Charts – could really do with improvements in general to allow user filters, sizing options, click to open values, text wrapping on axis label values etc -Chart Block Improvements - Feature Requests - Softr Community
-
Multiple Metric Values in a Chart - Feature Requests - Softr Community
-
Add more than 4 columns in a container and also have multiple blocks under each other in one container (to make better use of the space) - Additional Columns in Column Container - Feature Requests - Softr Community
-
Table formatting – very limited on sizing here (S, M, L is not enough) – we need more flexibility especially to reduce the text size and padding so we can fit more on screen when viewing large data tables (people are used to Excel)
-
When applying conditions in blocks I want to be able to use groups of conditions so we can have multiple ‘AND’ and ‘OR’ conditions e.g. filter on users that have a status of ‘Active’ AND they have a role of ‘Project Manager’ or ‘Admin’ - currently I have to create the same block multiple times to achieve this which then means I have to remember to update multiple tables if making any changes
-
Navigation menus for Item Details pages - Navigation Menu’s For Item Details Pages - Ask the community - Softr Community
-
Export functionality – the Export functionality is poor. Excel option has no formatting, PDF export only give screen export not full export. I’ve had some amazing result with DocsAutomator integration but one limitation is that if a user applies dynamic filter in the app from end we can parse these filters through to DocsAutomator
-
File attachments – we don’t currently use this as there’s concerns over the files being accessible via the urls. At the moment we store all document in a file management system called Egnyte to ensure they can’t be accessed without being logged in. The data and documents are highly confidential so would like a better mechanism for this - File Attachment Security - Ask the community - Softr Community
Vibe coding seems to be the go to response these days. We’ve built 2 massive apps to basically run our business and we just need the native functionality to improve. Everything we have is linked to a project so we have lots of tables and hundreds of fields all with the one app and database. We don’t want to be creating quick small grade apps that don’t integrate. I’d love to show how far I’ve come with Softr but given it’s all confidential data I can’t share anything. I’m not building apps for other businesses, I’m solely building apps for the company I work in and use the apps on a daily basis.
As I’ve said before I feel AI is being pushed everywhere and although it has it’s benefits I wish Softr would focus on some of the feature requests raised across the community regarding the native block functionality which is why we originally were drawn towards Softr. There’s not been a Business and Professionals community call for months and although I was told this would be starting back up in March, it hasn’t happened. We have no viability of the roadmap and what features are actually being worked on. If even a few of these features were released as promised it would keep the end users happy. I was so excited for the 12 days of Softr in December as I hoped some of the much needed functionality would be rolled out but again nothing.
I appreciate there are thousands of users in Softr and they can’t please everyone but from being a member of this community, the active users seem to be of similar views.
I love the Softr builder platform and when Databases and Workflows were launched it was amazing but please don’t lose sight of what Softr originally was and get some of the basics worked on. The thought of rebuilding everything again and having to move platform would be a nightmare when I’m 90% there with things. Also, the Softr support team are amazing and one of the reasons I’m trying to stick with it.
