Hey all,
I am trying to update the Owner (type: User) of a record, when a status field is updated. However, I keep getting the error: Field “Owner” cannot accept the provided value: Could not find matching collaborator for string

The automation is supposed to copy the value of the owner from a lookup field which basically holds the owner from a linked table.

Please help.

Is that value from the lookup field the collaborator’s email address?


Solved this issue, by setting the lookup field as email or name. Thanks!
