When I add an update record node for airtable, I notice that checkboxes are overwritten to ‘unchecked’ unless I set them to checked. My table has over 100 fields. Currently, the only solution I have come up with is to delete the field from the update field options. Ideally I would rather just have these fields ingnored unless I expicitely set them (either to off or on). Make.com has this built in. There are pictures below.
My question is, is there a way to tell n8n to ignore checkbox (and possibly others) fields when doing the update unless I explictly set the value?
I am not confident, but do not believe there is such an option. According to the airtable docs, removing the fields prevents them from being updated, so that seems to be the solution, and what make is doing when Empty is selected.
You may be able to map manually, and then just dynamically set the values as needed.
Thank you. I am new to n8n and it offers so many good things that is unfortunate that this is not handled correctly. It could really wreak havoc on my database if all these fields I don’t want to change are changed becasue I don’t delete to option to change them.
