I am learning automations and I have hit an error I cannot figure out.

There are two tables involved in this automation:

  1. People table where the client master data resides
  2. Client Funding table where clients' stipends and grants get recorded

Here is the logic I am trying to make happen:

  1. When Client Funding Indicator field changes to "MicroGrant Invited", do two things
    1. Create a new Client Funding record for the client <-- This step works correctly
    2. Reset the Client Funding Indicator field to "Funding Not Specified" <-- This step gives me the error "Received invalid inputs."

Thank you!!!

Ah, you need to use an "Airtable Record ID" in the "Record ID" field in your "Update Record" step:
