Edit and verify

Open the list from the appropriate workspace and select an existing record or a permitted create action. Confirm the intended tenant and record number.
Use the visible controls for the current record type and state. For reference fields, select a returned record from the lookup. Fill visible required fields and use the dedicated workflow action when the record has approval or completion gates.
After saving, reopen the record and compare its persisted values, state and activity to the intended change. Check the downstream linked record when the action creates one.

Troubleshoot

Missing field or control: compare the role, module, record state, form conditions and tenant overrides.
Lookup returns no result: check that the referenced record is active, in scope and compatible with the current field.
Save is rejected: keep the exact validation message and compare the field key, choice, constraints and required related records.
