"Create row in" block does not work


I need some help please clarify:
Q1: What is the purpose of the row id? There is zero documentation on it!!
Q2:Can I write to the row of my choice instead of the next empty row? This is critical when users updates their info.
Q3: Currently nothing get written and I get this error “Spreadsheet update failed at Row: f0fdf361-6881-4bba-a4cc-017cfceba2e4” makes no meaning, I wish they made it more meaningful.
Q4: Most of the blocks has “error” as a return value? How come this does not have one?
Please note the cloudinary gets updated very promptly. Writing to the spread sheet is not happening.

I really wish the documentation was more elaborate, kindly help me out.

Q1: The row id is a text string generated internally when a row is created. You only need that value if you are using blocks that require a row id such as a get value or other Data Source block.

Q2: No, you can’t. For that, you’d have to use a Google Apps script or Airtable API command. Why is it critical? Why not just update the row containing the user’s data?

I’m not sure about Q3 and Q4.

Thanks @tatiang . You always give answers with hints which help think forward. Now it is working fine. RowID was fine and now I get the idea how to use it. The issues were two

  1. Back in the earlier versions one could left unfilled values, now if you dont fill one of the values none get written
  2. I have observed nowadays the cache gets filled very fast and one has to hit F12 and clear the cache.
    With the both things in place it is working fine. Thank you very much for pushing me towards a solution!! :slightly_smiling_face:
