Hello! I am just looking for some clarification on the new glide pricing regarding updates. I understand that updates to Glide Tables in the new pricing does not incur and update whereas syncing to an external data source such as Airtable will incur an update. What I want to clarify is regarding some user specific columns “living” in my Airtable sheets that I use only for logic in Glide, and which I don’t believe sync back to Airtable. Does updating those with a Set Column Action for example count as an update? Thanks! ---

Does updating those with a Set Column Action for example count as an update? I’m pretty sure that the answer to that should be no. And if it isn’t, then I’d say it would be considered a bug. ---

Does updating those with a Set Column Action for example count as an update? Making sure I understand here… - You have a connected Airtable data source - You’re extending that Airtable data with user-specific columns in Glide - The additional columns don’t sync back to Airtable …and you’re wondering if setting a value on the additional column(s) will consume updates? ---
