Hello All! Thanks in advance for any help but I am stumped. 

I am trying to automate updating a multi-select field from a Linked Record Field, and after looking for help here I found this thread: 


I followed the guidelines here but I am running into an issue with a completely different field. When I test, I get this:
 


I am not sure why it is trying to do anything with the photo field :(

Long story short, I want when someone is added to this department on one table, for their profile to be updated as well, with the matching department name on the multi-select field. 

Here is the way I set the automation:

Trigger
Action

Hi ​@FurryFiestaHR ,

You can ignore the message regarding the photo field. It doesn’t mean your automation is failing, rather that Airtable can’t render your image within the automation editor. It can’t access images from before you ran your test, which isn’t an issue with your automation.

Your automation looks as though it should be running fine as is. Turn it on and give it a go from within your table and see how you get on.
