I have a flow that is not playing nice...

I have a flow that goes
Step 1: "when a row is added, modified or deleted" this is a trigger to take the Sample_test_id from the Sample_test table, then
Step 2: " add a new row" this creates a new row on the 'test_results' table it also inputs the 'Sample_test_id' from the 'Sample_Test' table into the lookup column found on the 'test_result' table. 
Step 3: "update a row 1" This updates the 'Sample_test' table with the 'Test_result_id' from the 'Test_result' table.

Both 'sample_test_id' and 'test_result_id' are autonumbers formatted as follows
sample_test_id = STid-00101
test_result_id = TRid-00101

Error Code:
{
  "error": {
    "code""0x80060888",
    "message""')' or ',' expected at position 5 in '(STid-001018)'."
  }
}

I have tried just using 'sample_test_id' and i have tried /cr002_sample_test1s(sample_test_id)

    :Hi, 
     
    You selecting the wrong column.
    The correct way is the GUID ID
    Adjust it to the correct GUID ID and it should work

    SpongYe, Are you reffering to the GUID ID for the sample_test table or Test_result table? 
     
    for the 'Test_results' table  the only unique idenifier column is called "Test_Results" and it is "cr002_Test_ResultsId" the primary column is "Test_results_id" which is an autonumber with name  "cr002_Test_Results_id"
     
    (hindsight is 20-20.... should have had better names)
     
    for 'Sample_Test' table the only unique idenifier column is called "Sample_Test" and it is "cr002_Sample_Test1Id" the primary column is "sample_test_id" which is an autonumber with name  "cr002_sample_test_id"

    It is currently using /cr002_sample_test1s(sample_test_id)
     
    "cr002_Sample_Test1Id" is the unique identifier for the sample test table.
    Sample_test_id is the column i want to pull the value from...



    Solved it, Don't name things to similarly to others... its a nightmare.... solved it...

    Hi,
     
    I mean the sample_test table.
    I further investigated your issue and the hyphen (-) could be causing the issue as this is on at position 5 in '(STid-001018)
    Certain characters like hyphens can be interpreted in ways that might lead to syntax errors if not properly handled.
    Check if this works: /cr002_sample_test1s('sample_test_id')
     
    Otherwise can you check the output of the 'When a Row is added, modified or deleted' and try to look for the @odata.id and use that directly instead of this /cr002_sample_test1s(sample_test_id).
