I have a workflow on make.com that is using Airtable nodes to process the data. Very important for the workflow are the the Status fields in the tables from Airtable. One node hast to update a Status field, but I am getting the error, that the field name is unknown. make.com die a trouble shooting and they say, that the error is coming from Airtable and not from make.com. They provided supporting information as well:
At this point, I recommend contacting Airtable Support and sharing the details below with them so they can check why their API is rejecting this field ID even though the field appears to exist in the base/table.Relevant request details:{

}For reference, the field rejected by Airtable is the one Make is using for the Status value.
I tried a lot of things - cloning the node, replacing from scratch, copy paste from a different make.com scenario … I don’t know what else to try. The support from Airtable does not respond to my open tickets.
