I’ve been investigating this anomaly outrageously long with M$Copilot.
Beside and sharply contrasting with all the miracles and wonders of Airtable, a person would start asking oneself who on Earth when seeing this would still be inclined to go ahead with Airtable.
One question, or two :: Am I the only one ? Am I totally missing out on something here ?
