Hi,
One significant challenge for my clients arises when callin.io encounters a bundle validation error with Airtable modules.
In such instances, callin.io does not provide the "human-readable field name" associated with the error.
Instead, callin.io presents an obscure "Field ID number". Please refer to the screenshot below to see how this appears.
Airtable complicates the process of identifying the field name corresponding to this field ID number, as it requires navigating to Airtable’s “Tools → Manage Fields” screen and then searching by that specific field ID.
It would be considerably more convenient if callin.io directly provided the Airtable field name as human-readable text, rather than the cryptic field ID number.
Could callin.io please enhance the Airtable error reporting to display the field name instead of the field ID? (Kindly see the screenshot below.)
Thank you!
Scott

Yes,
It’s just a minor adjustment for them, but it significantly improves user comprehension of error details.

Just a heads-up, if I can't resolve an issue, I'll resort to using this API call:
bash
curl “ https://api.airtable.com/v0/meta/bases/{baseId}/tables”
This provides the table's metadata. However, typically when this occurs, it's due to not using parseNumber() for a value you're attempting to insert into a number column.
