Hi Alex,

Greetings!

You can update the records on the same object or any other Object which should be related to the actual Object.

Please mark it as best answer if it helps you to fix the issue.

Thank you!

Hi Alex, 

Lightning Flow gives us more power to determine what records we want to update.
  • When updating related records, in Lightning Flow, you'll start off by giving it a name (A). 
  • Next, you have to define how you're going to know which record(s) to update (B). For now, let's choose Specify conditions to identify records, and set fields individually.  This will reveal additional fields. 
  • Type in the Object you wish to update (C).
  • Define the criteria needed to know what record(s) to update (D).  Think of this like the filters in a report or list view.
  • Finally, you select the field(s) that need to be updated and the value(s) you want them updated to (E).  Remember our friend $Record is still available and can be referenced to set the values of your fields.
  • The first is to simply to select the Update Record element, give it a name, and select Specify conditions to identify records

Hello,
My screenshot shows that 3 fields from object Organisation will be updated. However i want to update 8 more fields which are sitting on a custom object.
Can i do this within 1 element? Do i have to create a condition? Hope you understood my question.
