The AI doesn’t know. Scripting is actually quite robust & powerful in Airtable.
When you run a script from a button, you don’t need to use the record picker at all. You can skip the record picker altogether, and just have your script use the current record that the button was clicked on.
This is demonstrated in the sample scripts and in the scripting documentation. @kuovonne also asked you above what your script currently looks like, so she could help you further.
However, you will still have the same problem with running a script from a button, which is that the extension window pops open every time, which is probably not the best user UI experience.
In my opinion, for something as simple as this which doesn’t need to be scripted at all, your best bet is to use a single-select field, which looks very similar to a button but can also change to provide additional status updates to the user while your automation is running, such as “automation running”, “error”, or “done”.
