Hi,  
Having a frustrating error and hoping for some insight on it.

I have successfully connected airtable as my data source to my weweb project. I have created a form in weweb that onSubmit creates a new record in airtable. When I run it through the test with the connected fields it works perfect. If i try to run it a second time it gives me an error. If i publish my form and run it on another device i get an error.

The error I get is “Axios error bad request 422”. What makes this so confounding is that it works fine when I create. anew form it just wont work on subsequent tries. Specifically when I dig into the logs the specific error that seems to be tripping me up is  
response: “{“error”:“INVALID\_RECORD\_ID”,“message”:“Value "" is not a valid recordID.”,“statusCode”:422}”

Which if I am reading this right is crazy because its supposed to be writing to a new record not referencing an existing one right? Has anyone had this issue before? I am including a screenshot in hopes that it will help. Thank you.

In your fields, do you have any values linking to another Airtable table, like the “Referral Host”? The “record\_id” error might be related to that field. It would also be helpful if you could post a screenshot of the “Referral Host” value.
