Changes to a list of things

[beaurobinsykes]

Hi all,

I’m having some issues making changes to a list of things.

Context: When a user changes the Input, it needs to reflect that change on the List of Things.

Current Data Types (as below)

Prospect: Referring to the account
New Stakeholder: Referring to the newly added contact

I’m having issues with the workflow.. The input needs to reflect and change item #1 on the list of things. I.e., the first New Stakeholder

Thanks in advance!

Make changes on a list of things can only be run on a list of things (as in Things from the database).

in your screenshot you’re trying to run it on a single thing (actually, a single Text) - hence the error.

If you only want to change a single thing (which, presumably you do) then use a ‘Make Changes to a Thing’ action (not ‘Make Changes to a List of Things’).

Thanks @adamhholmes, something like this?

My worry is that the input is ‘Adding’ to, instead of ‘Changing’

You can’t modify a stored Text on a list.

you can only deleted it and/or replace it with a new one.

i’d generally advise against storing lists of text, and using objects instead as much as possible - but of course that depends on your use case.

But if you really need to ‘replace’ a stored text with another one, you’ll have to first remove the original, then add the new one.
