Key field update in automation

I am trying to update a key field of one of my tables when an automation triggers. I used to be able to do this and lately its not coming up as one of the fields that can be updated within the automation. Has anyone see an update that would cause that or it's a bug that needs to be reported?

Thanks

    I'm seeing the same behavior, although I don't remember ever trying it before, so I don't know if or when it might have changed.

    I don't know for sure - but I think 2 months ago or sometime recently a change was made to automations to always do ImportFromCSV through automations rather than what I believe were single EditRecord calls to increase automation performance / speed for batching all of your automations together when things change in mass. Might not be related - but just spit balling

    If its still an issue you can consider swapping out to using a Webhook instead. That method lets you do an EditRecord Call or ImportFromCSV and configure your own clist / fields to change your key that way.
