Create thing if doesn't exist

[espressodaily]

Struggling with what seems like very basic concept.
Multi line input. On clicking save icon, workflow set to make changes to thing, checkbox enabled to create thing if doesn’t exist.

1. No data is created, I checked the app data
2. Is there a way to test if the operation succeeded - error handling?
3. How do I debug this?
4. Am I missing something?

Thanks !

Yes you are changing the current page’s “myNote” which is just a state (temporary). You’ll need to create a new thing that is of a different type. For instance, a type called “myNote” which contains a text field “note text.” Changing a page’s state does not create anything permanent.
