Airtable missing fields to select

I have an Airtable table with a lot of fields but I only need to sync a few of them. I noticed that some fields are missing and I can’t even search for them. If I sync the table and keep all fields selected, those fields are loaded on the records. But if I uncheck any other field, they disappear. I don’t want to keep all fields selected because it’s unnecessary data and the table loads slower.
For example, the field called “CMAP” bellow can’t be selected but it’s retrieved on a table load action if all fields are selected.

Is there a solution for this?

Hi @lgoto_mps and welcome to our community!

Could you please ensure that there is at least one record with the data in the required field? Looks like it cannot be recognized because there is no data in the field.

Hi Kate, thanks for helping out.
Yes, there is. As you can see on my second screenshot, it retrieves data on this field.

@lgoto_mps indeed, so sorry, I haven’t noticed the second screenshot :cold_sweat:
Let me contact our dev team to see what the issue could be. I’ll get back to you shortly.

Hey @Kate,
I’d like to let you know that I now re-synced that base and the fields somehow appeared :thinking:
I’ve been resyncing periodically since yesterday but that didn’t work until now. Maybe it was some kind of cache.
Again, thanks for your help! Have a nice day :smile:
