Hi,

I have a simple airtable-database ad datasource for my Weweb-project.

Everthing worked fine until a few days ago, I get a 422-error in Weweb "insufficient permissions" for only one of my records.

The Weweb-community replies this error is generated by Airtable. Here's my post with the different screenshots : https://community.weweb.io/t/workflow-axioserror-422/18932/3

My question: why does this only happen with one record? And how to solve it?

    Hello ​@WimDC,
    Getting a 422 'insufficient permissions' error from Airtable on just one record in Weweb. All others work fine. Could this be due to a restricted field or select option in that record? Any fix suggestions?
    This keeps it clear and focused—let me know if you want a version tailored for Airtable or Weweb support!

    Best Regards,

    Airtable doesn’t explain this very well in their REST API documentation, but you can’t add a brand new multi-select option to a record through the REST API unless you enable the ”typecast” parameter in your API call by setting “typecast” to “true”.

    So you’ll need to add a parameter called “typecast” into your API call and set its value to “true”.

    You can read a brief paragraph that tries to explain this for the creation of new records on this API documentation page. They also explain this for the updating of existing records on this API documentation page.

    Hope this helps!
