The new data components & data sources are great. However, if I enable using a custom AirTable view, the data source name doesn’t change (it just has the name of the AirTable base). When there’s more than one view in use, all data sources end up with the same name & difficult to identify. Could you add ability to rename data sources, or maybe append the custom view name to the end of the data source name?

Moving this to its own topic @techadventure202086 so it gets better visibility.

Are you re-syncing with your Airtable?

Just spent the weekend working in Google Sheets and it correctly identifies each sheet in a document…is this the case for Airtable generally or is it specifically when you use custom views? (I have a feeling of they’re not fully supported yet?)
