Hi there, Twice in the past two weeks I have a file picker field that gets detatched from it’s column in Airtable. When I search the columns to reconnect it, my attachment field from Airtable doesn’t appear in the dropdown list. Tried deleting the form container and adding a new one - but the “phot…

So looking at the data sheet table, it looks like all of a sudden Glide is thinking the Airtable attachment field is an array, perhaps? The icon looks like all of a sudden Glide think’s it’s an array field, not an attachment field. [ https://share.cleanshot.com/7bjmBlMcSbv7MshzP6ZW/download ] I rena…

Okay, some further work to fix this. Turns out there are a few records in the database that have multiple file attachments in the column. When even one of those exist with more than one photo, Glide instantly thinks the column is an array. When I delete those records with multiple attachments in the…

[image] Airtable field not writeable with Glide form? Ask for Help Hey y’all - trying to create a wardrobe database with the ability to log an OOTD. I have it all figured out except for the part where I want to be able to add an image of the outfit of the day. I’m using Ai…

This is expected behavior. When an AT field has a singular item (photo, attachment, multiple choice selection, etc.), then Glide will interpret the field as a single value. If the AT field has multiple items, then Glide will convert the column to an array column.

Also am a BIG fan of your videos. Thanks for all your contributions. Couldn’t have built my Glide app without your knowledge and expertise!

Were you able to split the images? How were you planning on approaching this?

I had to create a different column to prevent this from breaking the file upload field on my page. I reached out to Glide and they said thanks for reporting it…so I have a feeling they might be looking into changing this behavior, I hope.

Thanks! Weird thing is this isn’t happening consistently. So it through me off. For now I’ll just keep an eye on counters to make sure the remain at 1.
