I’m not sure if i’ve interpreted this block correctly. I’m trying to use it update a value in my airtable with this block (as i’m not using a dataviewer)

**Here is the structure of my code so far:**

When it finds a row result for the two properties “student code” and “helper code” it allows the user to update the cell motivational words for the found row.

**Here is the airtable set up:**

Right now when i run the program it’s able to find results and it also get through the “set property: motivational words of object j to Text\_iput1’s Text”

But my airtable doesn’t update with that value … can this block update a cell in an airtable? If not any suggestions would be appreciated! Feel free to ask for clarification.
