Airtable node doesn't output despite "always output" being on

Describe the problem/error/question

Airtable receives 6 items to search. It finds 4 and outputs those 4. It should also output blank json for the 2 it doesn’t find, but it does not. The “Always Output Data” switch is on.

What is the error message (if any)?

No error message, just a lack of response.

I think you can only get empty results if you wrap this in the loop over items loop.

For instance, for the table like this:

outputs:

[
  {
    "id": "recgrxUyfOfcWj7aU",
    "createdTime": "2025-09-21T02:20:37.000Z",
    "Hora": "16:40",
    "Fecha": "2025-09-17",
    "Nombre": "Maria",
    "Telefono": "345"
  },
  {},
  {},
  {
    "id": "rec2ngVQFbBeUfXK3",
    "createdTime": "2025-09-21T02:20:32.000Z",
    "Hora": "16:50",
    "Fecha": "2025-09-17",
    "Nombre": "Raul",
    "Telefono": "567"
  }
]

As you can see, two records were found and two weren’t. For each record that wasn’t found we get an empty object back.
