Hi
I now have 150+ scenarios, many of which have Airtable modules. I am doing some Airtable restructuring and am nervous about knock on effects. Is there a way I can extract from each scenario, or from across my account, field usage data within the module? Like assume module A updates three fields, field X, field Y and field Z. Knowing this, when i restructure Airtable I can take precautions around field Z for example.
Many thx
Ian
You can use the Make API to list all scenarios, and get the blueprint of each.
This allows you to see the raw names of the fields you are mapping.
Or you can manually download the blueprints.
That’s brill samilew, TY.
Thx

No problem, glad I could help!

Cracked it thx. I have the scenario as described, how do i now view from the blueprint the module field usage?
Annnnnd now you see why we use Set Variables after most Airtable Finds or Updates. Only need to update schema changes in one place. Remember to always Open/Refresh & Run the existing Airtable Modules THEN fix the variable references (airtable fields) as needed. Socks before shoes.
Open your blueprint in Sublime Text or similar code-friendly editor and you will see the patterns where Airtable Fields are actually referenced vs just returned w/ Find/Update operations.
I also advise never checking the Select Fields checkboxes in Find Module and only using a View there if you abs have to.
Thank you both for your input just padding to get 20 characters derr…
