Intro to APIs & the API Connector | Bubble Crash-Course - nested groups / popup nightmares

Has anyone successfully completed this tutorial using the template and kept it around or remembers how to do some of the steps? I made it almost to the end, but now I am so stuck for many hours trying to get the popups patch movie and delete movie working. I’ve tried every option, but am missing the right way. this video and corresponding template are here…

I tried an experiment with just deleting by clicking the trash icon without a popup, and that works fine, but as soon as I do the popup as the tutorial does, it breaks. the error tells me that I am not actually sending any dynamic data because the movie id in the error is the one used to initialize the call from the plugin api page.
