As far as I know, the only way to reduce the number of fields returned by Airtable in an API payload is to specify which fields to include using the Field parameter. If I want to inlude 200 fields, I have to include 200 Field parameters, which takes a long time to specify and can be problematic for the integration application; I’m using Jitterbit and I have so many fields to specify, the resulting URL is 3000 characters long, which Jitterbit is complaining about. It would be a LOT easier if, when using a View in the API, we could specify whether all fields are returned, or just those in the view.

There are discrepencies with Rich Text content causing issues. If I copy/paste a rich text field into another rich text field, then create a formula that checks to see if they are equal: IF({Rich Field 1} = {Rich Field 2}, "SAME", "NOT SAME"), then it shows these as being equal. But if I take the content from {Rich Field 1} via the API, and perform an update via API to {Rich Field 2}, the formula comparison says they are NOT SAME. Even though if I compare them from the API they have the exact same values. So something not working when pushing via API to reflect same underlying content.

hi! When retrieving linked field in the API, described as “array of record IDs (strings)”, you get only the ID of the record. Which is particularly useless as the api would ask you to make a completely new request to retrieve the data! Imagine we have a linked table called People with a Name field Wouldnt it be useful if we could do smtg like “People.value(Name)” to retrieve the content of this array? Is it gonna happen someday?
