Many people are expressing problems with the create row block,  
I encountered these problems in my experience, in this particular case linked below, I was able to “fix it”, give it a try ⬇

> That’s just cause I decided to change the original picture with a more fitting one created on purpose, it’s not that the problem, picture is wrong,and those blocks work if I use the OLD localDB commands. I think I just found the cause and I hope you can do something about it: Data sources IS SLOW. It might be due to the fact that it pulls every row from the airtable db, I just ‘solved’ one problem I was having, but I can’t wait 1 second for every row of the database, I’m going to add pictures…

Also, @domhnallohanlon @Domhnall, you problably will want to group all the different posts on the create row topic, included mine I just linked.

Thx
