Can you please tell me why I am receiving this error?

Thank you so much,
Looking forward to your reply.

Check the configuration of the condition. It looks like your condition is set to compare the task name with the record ID.

Hi @kuovonne ,

In response to your reply, I have created a video in which I tried to explain what I am trying to do and Why I am using those conditions.
Here is the link to the video: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

If you have any questions for me please let me know.

I am waiting for your suggestions, What should I do to make this error go away?

I had a hard time following your video.

However, it still looks like you are comparing a Record ID with the formula field {Task Name}, and the {Task Name} field contains text, not record IDs.

I am so sorry about my video,

Let me give it another shot, This time I will try to create a simple one.

Hi @kuovonne

I have recorded another video, In which I have tried to explain to you in a more simple way.
Here is the link to the video:Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

Please take a look at it.

I am waiting for your suggestions.

Thank you,
Ahmed Qamar.

It looks like you updated your condition to match a record ID with a record ID versus a name, but it still looks like a hardcoded record ID, which does not make sense. Identifying the “next” record in a series of records also has is own unique challenges with different approaches depending on the base setup.

I recommend you look into hourly consulting where you can have an online meeting with a screen share. I do not offer those services, but you can look at the Airtable consultant directory to find someone.
