When I rename the table directly on the design screen where indicated by the arrow works correctly

But when I change the blocks, it doesn’t work.

Does anyone know why?

Thank you and I’m waiting

Hi @Kalil - thanks for the question.

This is a known issue unfortunately that our Engineers are working in fixing.

For the moment, the work-around we advise is that if you want to use a Base with multiple tables then you should use one Airtable component _per table_, so two components if you have two tables, three for three etc.

Hope that helps

I came across the same issue today, so it is still not resolved.
