2026.08.2 : Introducing Dual-Axis Charts, Embedded Linked Records and Workflow Folders

Charts on Interface Dashboards

Charts on interface dashboard pages can now plot more than one field at a time, such as budget alongside actual spend. A second Y-axis gives a field with different units its own scale, drawn as a bar, line, or scatter over the first.

Linked Records as Embedded Views

Link fields shown as a view on record detail pages are now full working visualizations. Viewers can search, sort, filter, and group the related records, edit them in place, and link or unlink them, all without leaving the record they are on.

Workflow Folders

Workflow folders let you group workflows and scripts in the Workflows sidebar, the same way folders work for tables and views.

Other Improvements

• Interfaces and Workflows on every plan - Interfaces are now available on the NocoDB Cloud Free plan with no limit on interfaces or pages. The Community Edition now includes 2 interfaces with up to 2 pages each, and 2 workflows per base with the core trigger, record, and flow nodes.
• Dark mode refinements - Dark mode has been polished across the app: clearer surfaces for inputs, modals, and the expanded record, more legible labels and grid lines, and improved dark mode support on interface pages.
• Buttons on interface records - The record sheet opened from any interface page can now carry its own buttons beside the title: Update record, Copy link to record, Delete record, Go to URL in record, and Run automation. Each button takes a label and a colour. Visibility rules, which show or hide a button based on the open record's values, are available on NocoDB Cloud (Business plan and above) and licensed self-hosted deployments. Learn more
• Run automations from interface buttons - Buttons on record detail pages gain a Run automation action that starts a workflow with the clicked record as input, through the new When a button is clicked trigger. Learn more
• Gallery themes - Interface gallery pages gain Minimal and Simple themes alongside Card and Poster, a cover Aspect ratio (None, Wide, Square, Tall), and a Fill or Fit setting for the cover image. Learn more
• AI filter prompt in the interface builder - Every filter editor in the builder now accepts a plain-language description and turns it into filter conditions, when an AI integration is configured for the workspace.
• Realtime updates across interface pages - Record review pages, record detail sheets, List visualizations, and dashboard widgets now update in place when records change, without a refresh.
• Group by many-to-one links - Grid views can now group records by a many-to-one link field, and records created inside a group are linked to that group's record automatically.
• Clickable lookup URLs - Lookup fields that surface a URL field render as clickable links in the grid.
• Select-aware conditions in workflows - If node conditions on Single Select and Multi Select fields now offer select-specific operators and pick values from the field's options as coloured chips, with a switch between a static value and a dynamic value from an earlier step. Learn more
• Sync every 15 minutes - Scheduled syncs gain an Every 15 minutes option alongside Hourly and Daily. Available on the self-hosted Enterprise plan. Learn more
• Expand all and collapse all for groups - The group header menu with Expand all, Collapse all, Expand group, and Collapse group is now available on every edition. Grouped views also load faster, computing aggregations only for groups on screen. Learn more
• Readable link cells on the clipboard - Copying a Links field now puts the linked records' display values on the clipboard as readable text.
• Interface page descriptions - Descriptions on interface table pages now sit under the title as rich text, and Kanban pages gain visible card borders and an inline new-record row.
• Interface calendar polish - Calendar pages in interfaces gain cleaner month, week, and day layouts and chevrons that jump to a record's start or end in every view.
• Copy settings from a view when creating an interface - The Copy settings from a view option is now also offered when creating a new interface, not only when adding a page. Learn more
• Admin panel refresh - Admin panel sections are grouped under Resources, People, Security, and Plan & Usage, and a new Usage page shows records, storage, API calls, automation runs, and billable seats per workspace. Learn more
• Billing page - The workspace Billing page leads with your plan, next invoice, and billed seats, and shows AI credits as an amount used with a per-pack breakdown and expiry dates.
• SSL modes for custom database syncs - PostgreSQL and MySQL connections for Custom Sync gain Preferred and Allowed SSL modes, which suit servers with self-signed certificates.

What's Fixed

• Workflows run for imported records - Record created, Record updated, and Record matches conditions triggers now fire for records added through CSV and file imports. Review your triggers before large imports, as each imported record counts as a run.
• Workflow canvas - Switching between workflows or creating a new one shows the right graph immediately, at 100% zoom, and a new workflow opens with its Add Trigger placeholder in place.
• Workflow test runs - Test this trigger on When record matches conditions now respects the configured filters, When record enters view samples a record from the selected view, and node variables reflect only the current test run.
• List records limit in workflows - The List records node returns the full number of records configured in its Limit, including limits above the server page size.
• Smart Text saves with the record - Edits to a Smart Text field in the expanded record are saved when you click Save record, alongside your other field changes, and closing the record prompts you to save or discard them.
• Formula fields and connection blips - Formula fields stay healthy through transient database connection failures, and any that were marked with an error this way recover on the next read.
• Cross-base lookups in formulas - A formula can reference a cross-base Lookup that points at a Formula field.
• Grouped grids after reconnecting - Grouped grid views refresh their groups, counts, and footer aggregations when the realtime connection is restored after an idle period.
• Disabled sorts stay disabled - List View data and grouped grids now honour the sort enable toggle, applying only the sorts that are switched on.
• View folders - Dragging the Default section moves only that section, duplicating a view keeps it in its folder, and the Default section opens expanded when the first folder is created.
• Airtable import display values - Imports now pick a usable display value for every table, including tables whose Airtable primary field is Long Text, falling back to the first eligible field or a new Title field.
• Negative currency paste - Pasting -100.50 or -$1,234.56 into a Currency field keeps the minus sign.
• Permissions stay isolated between duplicated bases - Field and table permissions, Record-Level Security policies, and command palette results are now scoped strictly to their own base, including duplicated and sandbox copies.
• Workspace record usage - Row-count usage now counts each record once, so duplicated and snapshotted bases are reflected accurately against the workspace record limit.
• Undo and redo with long primary keys - Operations on tables whose primary key values exceed 20 characters now undo and redo correctly.
• SSO sign-in in the installed app - Google, SAML, and OIDC sign-in complete normally when NocoDB is installed as an app (PWA), and the OIDC provider dialog now validates its URL fields.
• Integration option lists - When a Slack channel list cannot be loaded, the node explains why and offers a Retry.
• Interface fixes - Interface-only collaborators can expand linked records from a record detail sheet or record review page, Group By can be changed freely on Timeline, Gantt, and List visualizations, property edits in the interface builder apply without reloading the page, and edits made just before switching pages are saved to the page they were made on.
• Cached lists - AI chat sessions stay listed in the sidebar after use, API token scope updates keep every permission, restored teams reappear, and List View levels stay in place.
• PostgreSQL data sources - Creating a data source from a base-scoped connection now shows the schema field, so you can pick a schema other than public.
• Base connections list - Base Settings > Integrations lists each connection once; sync integrations live under Manage Syncs.

Self-Hosting Notes

• Org admins can access the admin panel - On self-hosted deployments, users with the org Admin role can now access the admin panel and Members page. The License tab remains available only to super admins.
• Improvements to Meta Sync for large schemas - Meta Sync now completes on external PostgreSQL schemas with thousands of columns. Schema changes attempted without table ownership also return a clearer error identifying the affected table.
• Improved error logging - Database errors are now classified to reduce unnecessary log noise. Expected errors, such as constraint violations, are excluded, while infrastructure issues such as connection failures, pool exhaustion, and busy SQLite databases include diagnostic details.

Planned Breaking Change to API Datetime Format

On PostgreSQL and SQLite deployments, datetime values returned by NocoDB will move from second to millisecond precision:

• Scope: REST API responses, webhook payloads, and CSV/file exports. Values are formatted on read, so existing records are returned in the new format too. No data migration or backfill is required.
• What to check: Consumers that parse datetimes with a strict or fixed format may need to accept the millisecond component. Tolerant parsers such as Day.js and most ISO 8601 parsers are unaffected.
• Filters: Range filters and sorting are unaffected. Exact datetime equality filters compare at second precision, so they may not match values carrying non-zero milliseconds. Millisecond-aware filtering is planned as a follow-up.
• Not affected: MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle connections keep second precision, formula-rendered datetimes stay at second precision, and the datetime display in the app is unchanged.
