In the Record(s) to update dropdown you can choose what record should be updated.

By default, the Current Record option is chosen. But if there are reference columns or RecordSet columns created in the table, one of them also can be selected in the dropdown. In this case the action will update a record or records which Id (Ids) are kept in the Reference column or in the RecordSet column.
