Wow, thanks, @Kamille_Parks! I did not know this! I was looking within the button field itself at all of our different options, but it only shows this particular option if we’re operating within a synced table. I was looking at the button field in a non-synced table!

Hmmm… I’m not 100% sure if this is the best user interface idea for them to hide this option, because it’s not super-discoverable unless you’ve already set up a synced table. That DOES makes logical sense to some degree, but it might be a better user interface idea for them to show the option but keep it dimmed. I’m gonna email them about this.
