You missed my point.  in the event that I do include the Record ID for Add Record, if the Record ID already exists, it just modifies the existing record.  I want someone to confirm that it works this way.

I don't want to have to use "Edit Record" for an Action because the data is coming from Synced table and I don't want to change the Key field of the synced table.

Is the synced table related to the table the Action is pointing to? If so, you can provide the Related Record ID#.

Anytime you input to Record ID#, you're updating if the value you're providing exits.

As you may not have two identical Record ID#s in the same table, the behavior you're experiencing is valid and correct. If you should provide a value to Record ID# and that particular Record ID# does not already exist, the system will issue you an error, which is valid and correct.
