Hi all,

This has been asked before, but the previous topic didn't get any replies:

 

 We’re encountering the same issue: the record revision history looks different when viewed from the Data side versus the Interface side. Is this a bug, or is there an underlying logic we might be missing?

 

Data
Interface

Interfaces will only show you the fields that are viewable on that particular interface screen.

Interfaces are considered a security layer, so Airtable won’t reveal all the underlying data in the table unless you make that data visible onscreen (or you go back into the data layer to view it there).

Hope this helps!

If you have a budget and you’d like to hire the best Airtable consultant to help you with this or anything else that is Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld
