Have an app with simple text entry fields, today it seems like it doesn’t work correctly.  
When our clients write in simple numbers and a "/“between the numbers, which has worked for 2 months, now, the text changes in glide to a text without “/”. For example we write like this"12/13/14” and in glide it turns to 121314? Since glide sends the wrong code to Airtable thru the api and you manage to reenter the correct phrase it switches back to the wrong one.  
Anybody else have this problem today? Feels like bad API connection?

Do you format the column as a number or a text column?
