My Notion Wish List:
Features I'd Like To See
Everyone knows how much I adore using Notion, but there are some features I've always had in mind that could swiftly elevate my relationship with the program. The following is my wish list:
Inline Formulas/Calculations
I want to be able to grab information from multiple tables elsewhere in the workspace and create a formula result inside the body of a page. This would cut down on the number of linked databases I use.
Replace Text
Notable Program(s) With This Feature: Obsidian
I would love a feature that can identify specific text or characters within a page and replace it with another character. Here's an article I wrote on how this feature works in Obsidian.
Remove All Links
If I have a page with a ton of inline links, I'd like the ability to remove all links from the page.
Expand Backlinks
I’d like another backlink option to expand a backlink and see the first 150 characters of the block it's referenced to. This isn't entirely necessary for me to be honest but would be cool. The next feature, however, is essential!
Multi-Pane Window
I need the ability to view my notes in two panes. Especially so, the ability to view database relation links in a second panel.
Custom Tag Colors
This one is just a bit of fun. I love Notion's minimal approach to the UI, but the text and window formatting options are a bit thin, especially compared to Evernote.
Drag To Duplicate
Within a database, it would be helpful to have a little toggle in the corner of a cell where upon dragging down a column then duplicates the cell.
Clear All Column Data
On the same note, an option to clear ALL cells in a column or property.
Format All Dates
Notable Program(s) With This Feature: RemNote
Inside the settings page, I'd like to see an option to change the date format of all dates across the workspace. For example, “month/day/year” or “day/month/year”. This is preferred over customizing each and every inline or date property.
