[DONE] Problem changing field on related records

Hi, i just did an automation that changes a field on related records when another field changes in the actual record. The field doesn´t changes at all, but i added one more action and only one action is triggered.

This is the automation I did, as you can see there are two actions to be done on each conditional. But the only action done is the adding notes one. The changing status action is not being triggered!

As you can see here the note was changed as it should be in status no, but the field is still yes and havent changed.

Hope you understood the problem i tried to explain :sweat_smile:

I think I understand although I don’t understand why its not doing what you want as it does when I try:


the first two of those changes was done using an automation set as yours (I think):

The last run was done with this automation:

As I say it works for me the way you have it setup (I believe), so it should for you, however:

  1. Does the Status update work if you disable the notes update block?
  2. Does it work if you do the status and notes update in the same block?
  3. Does it work if you set it up the way I have in my final example: no conditional and just a single block?

You’ll want to change your ‘No’ update brick to related not collected as you haven’t collected any records. That’s the only issue I can see.

Indeed, Martin_E seems to have found the issue, you might have used a “update collected” instead of “update related” for the “no” option.

Jason’s trial has worked as he used Update Related for both situations.
