This is a genuine question for Enterprise customers with large datasets living in their Airtable environments.

  • With the limitation being that only 200,000 cells be visible (not rows, actual cells - which I thought was an interesting limitation from Airtable as that terminology has never been used before), is anyone avoiding the feature all together?
  • Has anyone figured out any workarounds, or solutions to allowing a large dataset to be used in a synced link table? 

Some context, we are a large media streaming company that handles the majority of its content operations within airtable - one of our many bases is our Media Asset Library, which includes ALL of our series, season, feature, episode, trailer, and promo assets - and each of these has a handful of linked references to other tables & bases. The problem that we encounter is our Media Asset Library is already ~ 64,000 records in total, and if we needed to setup a synced link view for the title library with any level of lookups to the title metadata fields, we'd easily break the 200,000 cell limit. 

From an airtable perspective, will this limit ever get lifted? It seems like it could be more problematic for some scale customers than it is beneficial - however I can definitely see the value of this for smaller implementations.
