Update items in workflow

My first thought is that there are really two common approaches when you’re updating items in a SharePoint list. In most cases, you either already know the list item ID and update it directly (often before the task), or you query the list before or after the task to find the correct item ID. From what you described, it sounds like you don’t want or need to go down that path here.

If you don’t want to use the SharePoint Item ID, then the key is getting your condition right. You’ll need to filter down until you’re confident you’re targeting the correct list item. You can do that either directly in the Update Items action or by using a query action before the update.

One thing I’m curious about: are you updating a single item, or are you trying to update multiple items? If it’s a collection, you’ll need to wrap the update in a for each loop.

There are a few different ways to get to the finish line here. Happy to jump on a quick call and screen share if that would help.
