Hi all,

I was wondering if its possible to dynamically load the data source and table via a block rather than manually hard-coding the data source in design screen.

What I am looking at is I have a airtable DB with multiple tables and I would like to load each tables content using just a single screen rather than creating multiple screens.

Thanks

Do you use the data viewer list? You can also create a local data source and transfer the airtable data to this local table which will display all the data but it may be slow…
