Trying to do some base cleanup and design, and having trouble with dependency reporting.
Table A has Field A
Table B has Field B (Field A Lookup)
On Table A, when viewing dependencies of Field A, it shows one dependency listed, which is as expected the Table B's Field B. It also notes in small text that 9 dependencies rely on Field B.
On Table B, when viewing dependencies of Field B, it shows zero dependencies listed.
So what is the disconnect here? Are there 9 dependencies on Field B or is it 0? If i delete Field B i get NO notifications/warnings, but im not sure if im breaking something somewhere else and wont know until i happen to come across it.
How to troubleshoot and resolve this as its not just 1 field doing this, its regularly happening all over the place where the dependencies reported do not align.

It sounds like you're encountering a discrepancy in how Airtable is reporting dependencies between fields across different tables. This can be confusing and potentially problematic, especially during base cleanup and redesign.

correct... is there a fix? is this a big? is there something that would indicate which is correct?
