In my company, I have a main database that contains all the data. I want to create another database that only includes rows where a particular field is not empty. To achieve this, I thought of synchronizing the two databases and, for this purpose, I read the tutorial page https://support.airtable.com/docs/two-way-syncing-in-airtable. At a certain point in the tutorial, I am asked to select the 'Allow edits from other bases' option. However, this option is not selectable. What could be the problem preventing me from selecting this option?

Thank you.

Could you provide a screenshot of what you see for synced table settings?

Hm, the tooltip on the right seems to imply that the table you're syncing to / from is itself a synced table, and that's why you can't toggle editing on I'm afraid
