How do I get Update field on record trigger not to add to the id field?

When I do the Update Field on Record trigger, I enter the object, field, and value that it is updated to. Then, zapier finds the record and for some reason adds the value that it’s updated to to the end of my record ID field. As you can see, the field I wanted to trigger the zap is Status → Scheduled. But now, my record ID says the record id - Scheduled. 
When I try to use this field to find related records it fails, because, of course, the value is wrong. How do I get it to not do that?

Hi ​@jadecol 

Try using this variable: Object ID

See screenshot.
