The Fillout doesn't update the record

Hi all,

I have 2 connected fillout quizzes.

The first is set to create a record, which is working fine.

In the end screen, I have a URL button linking to the next quiz.

The second quiz is set to update a record, but in the results, it creates a new record.

I add an ID in the URL parameter for both quizzes.


Where do I go wrong, or what am I missing in the process?

Hm, could I confirm your second Fillout form is set to Update Record like so?

Yes
 


Additionally, I added it as a formula column in the Airtable, if it relevant.

Hm, that’s a really weird one.  As a datapoint, I just managed to use Fillout to update a record without creating a new record

Could you provide a screenshot of how you’re constructing the URL for the second quiz in the end screen?  You should be passing over the record ID of the newly created record, with the result being something that looks like this, is that right?
