I am trying to set up an automation so that when I tick a checkbox in one record, it updates a status field in the same record - I must be missing something in the help files as for the life of me I can’t find how to do this.
Any help much appreciated!

Hi Kamille
Thanks for this - it is updating the status for me, but with some weird long number, and not the status that I want - Also I can’t really see how to enter exactly what you have put in your answer - the interface I have doesn’t let me do that.
Can you point me in the direction of the best help files for automations as I feel like this is such a simple automation I am kind of wasting your time asking about it
Generally speaking, Youtubers All About that Base, Ben Green, and Gareth Pronovost have a video for effectively anything this simple for Airtable.
Here’s one from Ben:

Thank you - I will watch this (and others) and come back to ask if I am still stuck!
