I am using the Zapier Legacy code and I have created a computed field inside the Authentication. This computed field is updated with a value in the check_pre_roll method and I want to use the updated field on other upload and update methods but the value is null. How can I save the new value in the bundle field (bundle.auth.location) from within the check_pre_roll method and then use it in any other pre/post-roll methods? The default value is null.

Hi @aditim - First thing I’d check is whether you are using OAuth or Session authentication methods - these are the only ones that support “computed” fields.

Next I’d make sure, outside of auth logic, make you’re referencing the computed field on the bundle.authData object, rather than the fields collection.  This can be a tricky one to remember (for me at least!)

If that doesn’t get you up and running, let us know and we can look for a different way to accomplish what you need. 

Hi @Zane ,

Thanks for the reply. I am using the Zapier legacy platform and not the CLI. `bundle.auth_fields.location ` is how the computed field is being accessed inside the method and it does change the value to the new value but it does not pertain it globally. When I access the bundle.auth_fields.location at another place it still shows null. Is there a way to pass the value to another method or have the updated value stored globally?
