Trying to import from Airtable but after the import I see all the tables & columns but they all contain no rows. Verified the share URL works & tried recreating the token making sure it has data.records:read and schema.bases:read permissions. Any ideas? ---

“schema.bases.read” permissions is also not required. NocoDB infers schema details from the Shared Base URL - Delete all tables created in this base & retry. - Download logs & share to help us reproduce this issue. After import is complete, you can say ‘show-details’ and then download logs ![Screenshot 2025-06-28 at 6.17.21 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/nocodb/original/1X/6de629edcd9661eab63a75ee7be4cce1896a96bf.png) ---

Deleted all bases. Did import. Still fails. WARNING: There were errors on reading ‘houses’ data :: You should provide valid api key to perform this operation(AUTHENTICATION\_REQUIRED)[Http code 401] ---

Recreated url & api a few times & it finally went further, but still 0 records in every table. How do I upload the log? Website only allows images I see lots of this line in the log: WARNING: There were errors on importing ‘houses’ data :: Error: Column “Open URL” is virtual and cannot be updated ---

Issue is noticed when importing button field. Created an issue to track it further [🐛 Bug: Error importing button field from airtable](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/11775#top) Meanwhile, you can try removing button field from “houses” table & adding it back later in NocoDB directly. ---

OK Removing the button field enabled the import. ---
