The green “item” block in the “List_Viewer2 Item Click” block has the value of the item name (its text). The green “index” block has the value of the item’s position in the list. For the row id in your “update value” block, you need to use the index value, not the item value.

Yes you are correct but it will not update anyway.

Airtable expects a row id of 32 character alphanumeric format not the item position in a list viewer.

if i am using “index” it will save but it went to wrong row. for example i click officer1 and click on 1239 then press button update it will save first row at airtable.

Of course there is a way.

GetAllRows first and then loop through the rows to match your criteria. When found update that specific row.

Airtable is also fussy about format, so you may also need to check that the column you’re changing a value in matches the expected format. I’ve had it decide that a column was a drop down format with only a few values allowed, then fail without a clear error when I sent a different value.
