error: Error updating 'Tasks' column in request <request_id>: Insufficient permissions to create new select option ""Financial Assistance for Groceries"" #66

Hello friends! I'm helping a West Philly mutual aid group transition their existing Google Form -> Google Sheet workflow to your Airtable/Slackbot setup. As a result of their already hefty request database, I don't think I can start fresh with your Airtable template. I copied a sample of their data over from Sheets to Airtable, and have been renaming their old/adding new columns to match your table's fields.

However, I am getting consistent Task errors when running make develop locally, as mentioned in the issue title. My Tasks column has options for:

Grocery shopping
Financial Assistance for Groceries
Picking up a prescription
Financial Assistance for Prescription
Transportation to/from a medical appointment
Dog walking
Loneliness

But the server consistently throws: Error updating 'Tasks' column in request <request_id>: Insufficient permissions to create new select option ""Financial Assistance for Groceries"". Any ideas why it would be trying to create a new select option? Also, I'm pretty sure it did create the new Financial Assistance... select options, b/c I think we copied your Airtable template over before you updated the Task wording. So the ones I manually added were the older wording, and your app was able to add the new ones.

I'm not sure what's wrong, but I think it's causing no tasks to be returned for a given request. Trying to track down why it's trying to create a new select option when that one now currently exists. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
