Not new but still an issue.. Update Record on Airtable: ID Field doesn't resolve

I’m having trouble updating a record in airtable. when I drag the ID field from the previous node results to id (used in matching), the resultant expression shows undefined.

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

I am not typing it… literally dragging it… I haven’t found this issue anywhere else.

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Does the expression correctly resolve when you execute the workflow?

No it would error… I thought I had this solved turns out I just moved the error to another node… there are some fundamental aspects of tis app I am not understanding… according to the UI I can pull data from any previous node as it’s right there on the left panel. but when I do sometimes it work, sometimes it doesn’t… Passing data through nodes is blind luck… what documentation am I missing here.
