I suddenly can't add multiple sync sources to my table.

I'm on a business plan I have under 20 sources syncing to my table. 

Does anyone know what that might be the case? I can do it in other bases.

I can add other sources in other bases:

Hello there!

We encountered a similar issue, and it turned out to be caused by a hidden link. Since syncing linked records is only allowed from a single source, you’ll need to stop syncing that problematic field—at least until all your tables are fully synced.

Hope that helps!🤗


Thanks for this - I found a solution. However, I recon it's an Airtable bug.

Seems if you sync a table from one table into the destination base, then you can add multiple sources to that table. However, if you start from the destination base and add a sync by adding a new table, you can't add other sources to that table.
