Linked Records Automation that finds and updates child records linked to a specific main record. (Bug?)

Simple use-case. A MainTasks app, and a SubTasks app. Each main-task has many linked subtasks. Upon updating a main-task to COMPLETE, I want an automation to simply update all its sub-tasks, either by writing something to a SubTask.note field or by also changing its status to COMPLETE.

The Automation's trigger is simple, when record in MainTask changes its status to COMPLETE.

Then I tell it to find all records in SubTasks whose link (to MainTask) field = the MainTask which triggered the automation.

Then I tell it to update all the found records in SubTasks.

Nothing happens.

The reason I think it might be a bug is, that the automation 'activity' shows that it is "Running".

Is it stuck in a loop?

Thanks
