What is the workaround for this? To illustrate, I have a social media post scheduler. I want it to post the content, then update an Airtable field to "Posted". However, the Airtable Update Record Field within the module does not allow me to map the Base ID or Table ID using data from previous modules. This seems to render the module fundamentally useless.
The reason I need to set it up this way is because it needs to function as an app, so all clients can run through a single series of scenarios and be able to handle dynamic data.
Notice Mapping Ability in Search Records:
Does Not Exist in Update Record Module:
So, updating a table dynamically is impossible.

Hello,
For this, you'll need to utilize the Make an API Call module and interact with the update record endpoint.
It appears they've omitted the capability to map those two fields, which is often due to their reliance on RPCs. This is likely a safeguard to prevent invalid data from being entered into fields that the RPC depends on, which could cause failures.

Could someone assist me? I've spent approximately 5 hours attempting to configure an API call in various ways. Currently, I'm using the HTTP "Send a Request" module. I can successfully retrieve data using GET requests, but whenever I attempt POST or PATCH requests, I encounter one of several different errors. I don't have a coding background, but I've tested this in Postman, where I can perform GET requests but not PUT or PATCH. I'm unsure about API concepts and the structure of API JSON code.
All I'm trying to do is modify a cell, and it's taking me about 12 hours, which is incredibly frustrating. I've looked through many community posts about Airtable, but none have been helpful.

PATCH:

Could you also show us the configuration of your headers?

Yes, I'm quite certain there was an issue, possibly an API outage, as the API was unresponsive for a period. It's functioning correctly now. Thank you for your assistance.
