Airtable block schema refresh does not sync updated single-select field options

Severity: Low (workaround exists)

  1. Component: Airtable Integration / Create-Update Record Block


    Description:

    When single-select field options are modified in Airtable (options added or removed), the Airtable block in MindStudio retains the stale cached schema even after refreshing the connection. The outdated options persist in the exported workflow JSON and block configuration.


    Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Create an Airtable table with a single-select field (e.g., Type) containing multiple options

    2. Connect to the table in MindStudio using a Create/Update Record block

    3. In Airtable, remove some options from the single-select field (leaving only 2 of the original 20)

    4. Return to MindStudio and refresh the Airtable connection

    5. Export the workflow or inspect the block configuration

    Expected Result: The single-select field should show only the 2 options currently in Airtable.

    Actual Result: The block retains all original options from the initial connection. The stale schema persists.


    Workaround:

    Delete the Airtable block and recreate it from scratch. The new block correctly pulls the current schema.


    Environment:

    • Workflow: REALClarityPro

    • Airtable Table: Notes/Appointments

    • Field: Type (single-select)

    • Date: January 16, 2026


    Additional Context:

    The issue was observed across multiple workflows in the same app. Both “Create Appointment” and “Create Note” workflows had the same stale schema until the blocks were deleted and recreated.

Hi @aiprofessor,

Thanks for the post!

Could you record a short Loom showing the issue? That’ll help me reproduce it on our end.

So far, I tested this by passing a new value with a variable to a single-select column, and the new option was added to the table as expected. After deleting some options from that column in Airtable and refreshing the page in MindStudio, the placeholder updated with the new options:

Appreciate you taking the time to record a Loom.

Can’t replicate it, seems to be working fine.
