QuickBase Sync: You don't have permission to import data into a restricted field.

I am using Quick Base Sync on one of my tables (Contracts) and it recently started displaying this error: The error was: You don't have permission to import data into a restricted field.

It's a Quick Base Sync SFTP. The SFTP credentials appear to be okay when testing it. I checked the permissions of each individual field and of the table and there aren't any restrictions that I'm aware of. I have one role "Everyone on the Internet", that I thought might be an issue, but even that has full access to this table. The Quick Base Sync history provides a link to their common errors, but this one is not listed. I wasn't sure if anyone encountered this particular error and where else to look in the settings.

    Hi Quincy,

    It is a little counter intuitive given the wording of the error you are receiving but to have the right permissions to use a sync table you need to have both add and delete permissions for your Contracts table enabled for your role. I see in the screenshot that delete permissions are disabled, is that your role or the EOTI role? I would try just checking your role and make sure the delete checkbox is checked and see if that doesn't allow you to jumpstart the sync.
