Can't write data to protected column via a form/add screen

[benmitchell]

Describe the bug:
Can’t write to protected column using a form screen in pages

Expected behavior:
Should be able to write to a protected column

How to replicate:
On a form screen - the data column dropdown does not display any protected columns anymore.

This is not a bug—it’s expected behavior. A protected column is simply a column that exists in your Spreadsheet or Airtable but that is completely hidden in Glide. Since this column “doesn’t exist” in Glide, it cannot be written to via a form or add screen.

hmm, that’s not what the docs say:

Glide Docs • Protected Columns

Oh.
