Airtable - Search node returning wrong Record ID but everything else right (can't update records)

Questions
1

Airtable Search Node seems to be retrieving everything right, except for the Record ID, which won’t allow me to use the update record node.

It will even return identical Record IDs for different records (see lines 2 and 4 in the screenshot below), which should be impossible.

Hi @shrjrwkls ,

I am not being able to recreate - When I test it all ids are different. I tried this with a 1102 dataset and ran a Remove Duplicates node afterwards to weed out any possible identical Ids. v.1.72.1

Can you share the parameters you’re setting on the node, or the workflow maybe?
Does this happen on other workflows as well, or other Airtable records/tables?
