Troubleshooting Column Update Error and Infinite Loop in Data Table

Hi! I'm getting this error when I try to update the column where the data is coming from. Wonder what it could be or how could I fix it? I checked the rest of the table and I'm not sure where the infinite loop could be.

To fix the error when updating the column, try these steps: 1. Delete the affected column. 2. Create a fresh column. 3. Re-map your data to the write to table function (ensure auto-dedup is activated in the other table). If this doesn't work, you can try using the Force Run option: 1. Right-click on the column. 2. Hover over "Run Column" > "Force Run All Rows". To identify an infinite loop, check your write to table configurations. Ensure you're not writing to a deleted column or sending data to a table that references another table, which can cause conflicts. If issues persist, consider reconfiguring your write to table integrations and double-check that all columns and tables exist and are correctly set up.
