Hey there: Looks like you are setting the field, but not saving the changed XML. I see a comment that says "update the data to sharepoint library" but I do not see your SharePoint Library data connection being executed. Add that to your "else" block.

Well, again, I think the issue is with it being secondary data. At what point is a 2ds field considered to have changed? Not on query, right?
