I want to consult the community here. I have a column that generated a value from AI. Because the AI column is a computed value, I set this AI value to write to a text column using workflows-\> Set column value with the objective that i can extract it to an export. I realised that although the text column is showing up correctly it is actually not committed to Glide table/ for that matter even Google sheet.

If I edit the value (into something else manually) it will commit and show up correctly (but I can’t do that as there are multiple rows of data).

Is it a bug? Is there a work around?

Can you show how your workflow is configured?

My initial thought is that the Set Column Values might be triggering before the AI response is available. You could probably confirm if this is the case (or otherwise) by examining your workflow run logs.

No, the AI Columns are pre-populated in the table. The workflow has nothing but set value and a notification indicating completion. So it isn’t timing related.

I found out that the template column actually works. Set value also works (if i write from template) but then I would have to create more columns to deal with the array parenesis from the AI using maybe a javascript. [“Số nhà 11, S1, Khu đô thị Chùa Hà Tiên”]
