I did just notice when I referred back to [this thread](https://community.thunkable.com/t/solved-what-are-the-ids-in-a-google-sheets-data-source/1860999/9) that I was using as a reference when I went for the specific row #, rather than trying to find an ID… and I noticed that I had a standard text value in there rather than an actual value block.

However, I’ve updated it, and it’s still not writing:
