Workflow -> Create Record and its ID is not existing within the action?

[Jakub Grufik]

Hello guys, in one of our workflows I am using the action Created Record -> Opportunity

I am setting some fields which is working fine and at the bottom there is a place for the formula. I am trying to use ID of the new record I am creating and use it in the function to update some other record. The problem is that when I use "id" it returns null and the updated record where I am using this "id" is null as well because of that.

Is it because ID does not exist during the creation of the record via workflow yet?

Is there any way to get the ID of the new record within the same action?

I tried entity\attribute("id") as well as just "id" as you can see on the screens.

Hopefully, it is understandable what I am trying to achieve

Thanks a lot for the help

The id is not yet generated, best way is to add another action > update record Or a script task and then use the same code but you have to get the createdId using record/findOne.
