I created a staff scheduler with a series of automations that copies a shift (Workday Date and Start/End Times, Location linked field, employee linked field, notes) to a future date based on 4 checkbox fields (creating a shift 1, 2, 3 and 4 days in the future).

While the tool works great, I started receiving an error with only ONE location linked field every time I try to copy a shift. The error reads as follows: 'Creating the record failed due to insufficient permissions.' I have tried several fixes, including creating a duplicate of the location in question in the parent table and cutting and pasting pertinent information and linking fields about that location into the new record. I am completely stumped and as it is impossible to reach Airtable directly anymore, I figured I'd turn to the forums.

Thanks in Advance!

 

Hi,

check all linked fields (location, employee). It seems like you are trying to insert text value into linked field and it cannot find a match, so it tries to create new record there. Maybe the value contains comma or ampersand, so it breaks the single value into a list of parts/
Click to the arrow at the left of 'Failed to run', expand field values - usually that's enough to find a reason.
