How do I update an existing field in a database?

Hi! I’m new to Adalo and been learning the platform by trying to create a sample app.

I find that my approach to update an existing field in a database isn’t working. Here’s what’s happening:

  1. I have a modal with a text field to display an existing title (not asking this to be updated) and a form field with details about the item. I’m populating this field Default Value being read from the existing entry of “Service Request Details” from the database.

  1. I’ve configured the “Update Request” button to update the “Service Request Details” field. Nothing else is configured to change.

  1. When I try to do this during preview, the modal opens fine, it lets type into the form field with the default value, and I click on the Update Request button. It shows me my confirmation and then I close. But when I open the item again to see if my text has updated, I see that the text has not changed.

What am I doing wrong? Can someone share some pointers?

I’m not using any connectors - this is all in the default Adalo database.

Thanks!
