Hello @Shirobachi I have put inside " " , and it is still not working.

I missed that part, since that it has no sense to add `""` are you sure that securityID didn’t changed?

yes, this is the ID that i am able to retrive data when it is not in expression.

the ID is here in the node before airtable read node. Is it because input is in array?

I just re create a new work flow and it is working. maybe it is just that node is not working.

Weird, if you want you can copy both nodes and compare json code.

Happy it’s working!
