Hi there,
My company has several different interfaces that have more or less the same table in them, just filtered by a different project name. In the past, users (editors on the interface but no database access) have been able to duplicate these records without problem.
It seems like there has been a change with how Airtable now handles filters, access, and record duplication. Now, when the user duplicates the record, they get a permission error that tells them that they don't have access to that record. If a user with database permissions (e.g., db creator) duplicates it, there is no problem. It's almost like the filter is being applied before the duplication is complete.
A couple other observations: this only happens if the field used for filtering is not included in the table itself. Again, historically this has not been an issue, and it has duplicated without problems. If I add the field not to the table but just as a grouping value, this also mitigates the problem.
Has anyone else encountered this recently? My staff report that they were able to duplicate without problem in the last few weeks, and I can't think of any other changes we've made to our interface or db that would explain this. Thank you 🙂
