“Unable to sync this source. A field in this table has too many select options, so no new select options can be synced”.
How do i fix this?

Hm, sounds like you’re either:
And so if I were you I’d go through the single select / multi select fields in the base and look for either of these issues and fix them
For the first issue, this would involve either deleting existing options that aren’t in use anymore, or converting the field into a text field
For the second issue, I think converting it to a text field would be the only option I’m afraid
You have gone over the limit for options in your single-select or multi-select field.
You have 2 different ways of fixing this:
However, one very important thing to note is that most people do not use that “emailed CSV” option which creates a CSV sync table in your base.
That’s because it comes with some serious & major limitations:
Your much better & much more powerful way of importing CSV files into Airtable is to use Make’s CSV tools.
Using Make will create a NORMAL TABLE in Airtable (not a sync table), which you have full control over.
You can add records, edit records, and delete records — just like any normal table.
I give step-by-step instructions on how to import CSV files into Airtable with Make on this Airtable podcast episode.
And, if you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of additional Make training resources in this thread.
Hope this helps!
