Can you provide a screenshot of what you are configuring from set column values?  
Do you set up as single/multiple relations? This only works on single relations

Link your action to “when submitted” and have it set the new row to your values

Are you trying to set values on a related row, or the same row you have just added?

I would suggest:

- Adding entry components pointing to the relevant columns.
- Add default values for those entries as needed.
- Set a visibility condition that will never be true for those entries (so that no one can edit those).

Using set columns for on-submit actions has proven to be problematic, since the row might not have been created in time when the set column action fires.
