Script 1 const fibery = context.getService('fibery'); console.log(args.currentEntities) for (const entity of args.currentEntities) { const name = entity['Name']; const creationDate = entity['Creation Date']; console.log("Name: ", name); console.log("Creation Date: ", creationDate) }…

Note: you can actually use both triggers (created and updated) in the same automation if that’s appropriate.

How are you running these scripts?

I save the script, add a new entry, then check the activity tab of the script. Does that answer the question? I make Duplicate name field with formula Name. entity[‘Duplicate name’] still get null.

So the automation is being triggered on entity creation? It sounds like when the entity is being created, the name not yet defined, and then subsequently the name is being provided. Can you confirm how you are creating a new entity.

I change to updated and it’s good now [image]

Why is `entity['Name']` get `null`?
