This does not work.

Alright. Fine. Maybe someone else understands the questions. I’ve removed all the wrong answers.

You understood the question correctly and thus your last post was very helpful which is now currently deleled. I am really ashamed that once again I was too concise and wrote merely “it worked…it did not work” when I should have written:

The dictionary for “get record at” requires

The location of the record as a POSIX path (/ in names has to be replaced with /, see location property).

The snippet you gave returned the path, not the location.

tell application id "DNtp"
   set childPath to the path of the content record
end tell

Could this be the reason why “/stock/godown_gi_fitting/” worked instead of

“/Users/username/devon-think/databases/Shop.dtBase2/Files.noindex/tsv/3/godown_gi_fitting.tsv”?

For future readers of this thread, the contents of the deleted post:

on setChildCells(dbUUID, childPath, aList)
	tell application id "DNtp"
		set theDatabase to get database with uuid dbUUID
		set theRecord to get record at childPath
		set theRecord's cells to aList
	end tell
end setChildCells
