Hi @Michaela-Inactive @vendy,

One big problem for my customers is when Make returns a bundle validation error for Airtable modules.

When this happens, Make doesn’t give us the “human-readable field name” that has the error.

Instead, Make gives us an indecipherable “Field ID number”. Please see screenshot below to see how this looks.

Airtable makes it relatively difficult to figure out what field name corresponds to that field ID number because we have to go into Airtable’s “Tools → Manage Fields” screen and then search by that field ID.

It would be much easier if Make simply gave us the Airtable field name as a human-readable text, instead of giving us the indecipherable field ID number.

Can Make please improve the Airtable errors to show us the field name instead of the field ID? (Please see screenshot below.)

Thank you!  
Scott

Yes @ScottWorld,  
It’s just a small change for them but it makes a huge difference for users to understand error details.

FYI when this happens If I cannot figure it out I will use [this](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/get-base-schema) API call:

curl “[https://api.airtable.com/v0/meta/bases/{baseId}/tables](https://api.airtable.com/v0/meta/bases/%7BbaseId%7D/tables)”

Gives you the meta data of the table. But usually when this happens It is because you did not parseNumber() for a number that you’re trying to put into a number column.
