Ah that's because you're using the trigger time for your record ID value:

You need to use the record ID instead:

You're going to need to add a "Find Record" action so that you can tell the automation which record you want to update.  If the record you're trying to update is always the same you can just key it in manually though!  To do that, create a formula field with `record_id()` and use that value in your automation

Could you provide a read only invite link to a duplicated copy of your base with example data please?
