If you're encountering issues with table processing, try these steps: 1. First, try clearing your cache and refreshing your screen. 2. If the issue persists: • Delete the affected column • Create a fresh column • Re-map your data • Make sure auto-dedup is activated in the destination table You can also try using the Force Run option in the table settings, though this may take some time depending on your table size.

I tried that and has not worked. Is it due to having an excessive amount of tables in a chain?

Hey Dan, thanks for reaching out. The maximum number of table ID checks can be exceeded if there are too many tables connected in a chain. The limit is typically 10 write-to-table operations in a chain. This means that if you have a parent table with more than 10 children, or a complex structure like a parent with children and grandchildren exceeding this number, you will hit the limit. Hope this helps! Let me know how I c n best assist here. :)

Much appreciated Owen L.! That was not clear. I figured this could be it and did quite a bit of trial and error and I got lucky and it self resolved. It was interesting as it was the first two tables only that got the alerts and gave the impression it might have been table specific or inter-table between these two. It might be worth updating the error message to explain this and/or doing a HC article on this. Thanks again! :)

Owen C. Bo (. I just had the same issue as Dan. But I deleted a bunch of write to table columns and restructure my approach and it still is not resolved but interestingly: I have a 5 table work flow - but i can add new write to tables on table 5 no issues but my write to table on table 2 which i built before everything else is showing "maximum number of table ID checks exceeded" How can I fix it?

Harvey L. Have you tried creating a brand new write to table column if not actual table as that did help resolve once I trimmed? This is probably due to stale data or table that needs to be purged... If not, are there any test or dupe tables that are actually connected to your table chain even if dormant? If so delete. If not could you use Look up to get rid of one or more of these table and significantly reduce table stringing? This is a big refactor but worked for me to resolve this issue in general and is worth it alone as its a massive productivity win! 🤜🔥🤛

Hey Harvey, This means you have more Write to Other table columns in your setup than you can have. When I checked your workbook, I can see the input table has 14 Write to Other table columns all interlinked. This happens because it's becoming a complex web of interconnected tables, which uses a lot of data and could cause crashes and data loss. That's why we've implemented a stop when you reach the memory limit (around 10). We only need to remove the write to other table here to get a new one to work.
