I have a deprecated URL field (i’m telling users not to use this anymore) that only shows in a detail section when filled. In line edit is turned on but changes to the field are not registering in airtable at all. Nothing has changed structurally with this field other than adding conditional visibility. When the text is deleted the field disappears for a few seconds and then reappears with the original text. Airtable logs no changes or edits for this field.
Hi @onlymatt - are you saying you’re hiding the field when it’s empty?
If that’s the case, I’m not surprised that clearing the field isn’t saved…
Hiding the field effectively removes it from the configuration, which means it’s not considered for “changes”
Would you mind confirming?
Correct, the field is hidden when empty. In the video you’ll see it disappear when the text is deleted and then reappear. I have another field (rich text) right above this with the exact same functionality but haven’t experienced the same issue.
Rich text behaves slightly differently, so I’m not that surprised
If you need to regularly clear the text I would propose doing so with an action button
