Hello, I’m not sure how to approach this - maybe ask for clarification first.
In a rather complex data sync workflow using seatable, I ran into the issue that obviously, there is a limit of 10 links per link column that is being returned by the API standard calls. I have found a quite old issue where @daniel.pan mentioned this, linking to an obsolete API documentation.
The limit makes sense IMHO. However, it took me hours to figure the following out, and I came to the conclusion that there are still some inconsistencies.
- A “10 links per record returned” limit seems to apply to both List Rows and Get Row, is that correct? (API Gateway)
- There is no parameter in the API call to extend this limit, not even in a single row retrieval?
- If this is so, both facts should be stated in the documentation
- I was utterly confused by the fact that the deprecated Pre-Gateway Calls (List Rows) seemed to have returned all the links at once. I just verfied that.
- Is it true that in order to get all links from the API gateway, we have to explicitly use List Row Links …
- and specify
limitto overcome the 10 link default?
- and specify
- Finally: All this is not realizied in the GUI of the n8n Seatable nodes, therefore making them a source of frustration
- I reverted to pure HTTP calls for the time being
- If you should fix something in n8n, have a look at the default behaviour while at it
- When you have no options set, the “simple” and “column name” options default to “true”
- In the old nodes, the default was “false/true”
- It’s a bit confusing, but manageble. However, a hint in the interface would be nice.
