Airtable field IDs in API responses

It would be beneficial to have a node that:

Within the Airtable node, the Read and List API calls could be enabled to return field IDs. This would enhance automation robustness, for instance, if a column is renamed. The field ID remains constant.

My Use Case:

I am currently developing a prototype for a resilient application using Airtable, with callin.io handling all the process automation. As we iterate, numerous changes occur, necessitating the renaming of fields in Airtable. Consequently, we must update all workflows in callin.io. This would also be advantageous for other projects similar to my current one.

Are there any resources to support this?

The Airtable documentation outlines a method for achieving this: https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/list-records#query-returnfieldsbyfieldid . The returnfieldsbyfieldid option returns field IDs as keys.

I can utilize a custom API request within the Airtable node, but this would significantly impede our progress.

Are you willing to contribute to this?

I'm happy to assist, but I am unable to implement this feature as I am not a programmer.

Thanks!
