Wish the Automations error reporting was a bit more chatty. If it was ChatGPT giving me suggestions on what may be wrong, it would be more helpful.
Got this error suddenly but there doesn’t seem to be any further explanation:
Airtable error evaluating conditional group formula field.
The underlying condition is simply evaluating the formula numeric field, if it is zero or not. The field shows zero (0) all the time, before the automation is triggered and even after that (for this specific record). So the value in the evaluated field doesn’t change and didn’t change.
I still have lots of automation credits available on the account, so I am not maxing out. (… meaning this is not the issue… Solved: "An error occurred when evaluating conditional gro... - Airtable Community …)
And yes, that evaluated formula field is simply reading another Lookup field.
It looks like I hit this issue here again…
I thought this was already fixed. I remember I came across this 3 years ago. Why is this again an issue.
No, the source field that is being looked up is not an array, it is a number field actually also a formula field in another table (QOH is quantity on hand, so it can’t be non-numeric).
I know this is not a error reporting feed here. This is support ticket material (used to be in the old days at least).
The point I am trying to make is to improve the error reporting in Airtable. If there was more information about what is wrong I would not have spent 2 hours of my life fixing this !!
Thank you for allowing me to rant.
