I should have clarified–once you are in an Airtable automation, you can use the automation to update the original record, using a combination of the “Find Record” and “Update Record” actions, OR using a script.

Absolutely. But we should take that to another topic. I use both scripting and Make extensively. And when I use Make with Airtable, it currently is almost always in combination with an Airtable script.
