Use Dynamic Cell to Trigger Automation isn't working
I have 2 sheets. Test Scripts and Test Results
In Test Scripts, I have a lookup that pulls in the Result of the LAST Test Result for that Script. (Fail, Pass)
I have an Automation in the Test Scripts to change the STATUS of the Test Script that is triggered by a CHANGE to the cell that has the Lookup.
When "Last Test Result changes to Pass" Change Status to Pass
That automation is NOT being triggered when the cell changes.
Anybody have any clues?

I hope you're well and safe!
This is probably why. You'd have to change it, so it's based on time instead.
To prevent infinite approval loops, cells that contain cross-sheet formulas or cell links will not trigger an automation which automatically changes the sheet (Move Row, Copy Row, Lock Row, Unlock Row, Approval Request). To work around this, consider using time-based automation or recurrence workflows.
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
