Why do you use the api blocks to update airtable, if I may ask? There are already blocks that accomplish the PUT procedure

Maybe airtable wants the record \_id and not the actual row number?

To update a row you need to specify the \_id, as a right thinking @jared

1. AirTable has data with \_ids

2. filterList has [objects] (list of objects) from AirTable

3. ListViewer has object.Names from filterList

Get Index from ListViewer → get object[Index].id = youID

Hello. Sorry for bothering you. I am still learning. Is it possible to clarify obtaining a value from a specific list, and let it be the first column of the table, and how to search for this value and obtain the index number and through it the items placed in the same row

An application for 300 students. The student enters his personal ID in column A, so the program imports and displays his grades in scientific subjects and his name is present in the rest of the columns.
