Describe the bug

I'm using the img tag and the formatted text field type, which is generally working fine, but some images seem to break the Airtable sync. We're essentially using AI to create content, build the HTML, push it into Airtable, and then sync to Framer - which is, in general, working very nicely.

To Reproduce

Try to include this image https://www.hubspot.com/hubfs/Grow%20London/GROW22_logo_RGB_Grow%2022%20slogan.png, in an Airtable formatted text field and sync it to Airtable e.g.

<img src="https://www.hubspot.com/hubfs/Grow%20London/GROW22_logo_RGB_Grow%2022%20slogan.png">

It seems to break the sync. I initially thought this was the space encoding, then the underscores, but can't figure it out.

Expected behavior

I'd have expected it to either work, or show an error. When you click 'Sync' the spinnaker just keeps on spinning forever with no user feedback.

Additional context

The Airtable integration is in general pretty awesome. There is no way our agency or clients would be considering Framer without it and we're coming up with some pretty cool use cases.

I've done some further investigation on this, and am 99% sure it's a known Airtable issue where long URLs in text fields get broken

This works:

This breaks the sync:

Both are exactly the same image, the issue is the length of the url/filename. Would be nice to handle this gracefully. I've seen a few comments in the Framer forums where I think this is the issue.
