API Create Records - Ignore unknown fields

[Artur_Mkrtchya1]

Is there a way to tell Airtable API to ignore unknown fields when creating records via API ?

What do you mean? When you create records via the API, you specifically specify which fields you want to fill in.

[Artur_Mkrtchya1]

If you give users to create form and map it to Airtable it happens that some fields which are in the form are not in the Airtable, as a result form submission fails, while there could be an option like ignoreUnknown

[ScottWorld]

Yeah, you can’t submit unknown fields to Airtable. I’m pretty sure that most API’s work that way. Even if they don’t, you still can’t do that in Airtable.

Interesting. When I was trying with extra fields I was getting errors. Will try again and post it here.

[ScottWorld]

That’s what I said. You can’t post with extra fields. You will get errors.

What is your definition of “extra fields”? What errors [specifically] are you seeing? You should also share the integration climate - is this the Airtable API used in Python? NodeJS? Script Blocks?
