custom code not copying to output field

SueWest — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 15:50:50 GMT

I have a custom code action to strip out trailing '/' on LinkedIn URLs for our de-dupe tool. When I test it appears to work, but it's not copying the data into the custom field (cleaned_url). Not sure what I have wrong.

Hi there @SueWest,

Thank you for posting to the Community! I understand that you are having some issues with your Custom Coded workflow branch not copying over correctly.

Tagging in some Subject Experts to see if they are able to provide any guidance on this -- @HFisher7 and @miljkovicmisa Do either of you have any advice for @SueWest?

Hi @SueWest,

Thr output doesn't write into a property directly - you need to place an "Edit record" workflow action right after. You can then set the value of the property to he the output of you custom code action. (Use the dropdown at the top of the edit record action to access the custom code action output.)

Best regards!
