Here’s what I have:

Meetings table with Meeting Status single-select field.

Tasks table with Task Status single-select field.

What I want to do:

When Task contains (blah)

and when Task Status is Completed.

Then

Update Meeting Status to Completed in Meetings table.

I did this exact same thing a while ago with the same tasks table and an exam table, and it works perfectly. Here’s a screenshot:

 

But when I set it up exactly like this one, it doesn’t work? I’ve even duplicated the automation that does work, only changed the action’s table and field, and it still doesn’t work.

How am I doing it differently from the first? How do I make it work? It needs to only work on the single meeting that is connected to this task (there is not more than one).

Obligatory mention of updating your Tests step by step, if you didn’t choose a new record/use a suggested record to test functionality on the trigger, the action won’t have any ability to run and produce a testing error (it’s easy to forget about sometimes)

I did that unfortunately🙁 Tried a whole bunch of different task options, too.

Could you provide a screenshot of the error you’re facing and the data that the automation’s trying to update?  Could I also confirm the ‘Record ID’ value’s set up to be ‘ID’?

 

That worked! I can’t believe all I had to do was change that to ID. I assumed it was already set as ID, so I didn’t even think of that. Thank you!
