Hi,

In my experience it's difficult to debug pipelines, but in this case you may need to place your update record inside a loop (if you haven't already). Add the loop using 'insert loop' from the 'Drag a step here or ...' box within the pipeline. Hope that helps.

Thanks for this, solved the error for me.

This error is occurring, if I understand correctly, because the select statement could return multiple records which match the query.  The 'Update Record' pipeline can only update a single record, so the loop allows it to run only once, per record.
