Find Records Step Dynamic Value Insertion Glitch

I’ve been experiencing glitches/slowness whenever I try to work with the Find Records step within an automation. 

I try to insert a dynamic value (blue plus icon) for either Record ID or as value for the selected field, and the page freezes, and I have to check back in later for it to sometimes work. 

I’ve been experiencing this for many months, and across different bases, and I was wondering if this is something that others have also faced with the Find Records action within the Automations tab!

​@Reba 

I tried recreating your automation from your screenshot above, and I am not experiencing any problems on my end. You may want to email support@airtable.com and send them a Loom video which shows them the problem in action.

Hey ​@Reba! Echoing Scott above. I haven’t experienced this issue either 😕 I have a few automations with a nearly identical Find Records setup, and I just tested them again to confirm that I’m able to insert dynamic values without any freezing/delays. Definitely reach out to support@airtable.com! Fingers crossed they can get to the bottom of it for you 🤞🏻
