Ok, I got to the bottom of it - the trick I was missing in this [tutorial](https://community.weweb.io/t/are-form-variables-not-visible-while-the-form-is-in-a-collection-item/1138/6) was that the first screenshot was showing the “Path” setting for the variable update part of the workflow. It’s not something I’ve used before, so once that clicked it all made sense.
