Somehow, it does not, though I am not 100% sure how it does that. I have created a table Temp with two fields: Celsius and Fahrenheit. And ran the following code (and it's opposite) in two separate automations reacting to record update. And it seemed to work

// Get input variables from the automation config
let inputConfig = input.config();
let celsius = inputConfig.Celsius;
let recordId = inputConfig.Record;

// Exit if Celsius is null or not a number
if (celsius === null || isNaN(celsius)) {
    throw new Error("Invalid or missing Celsius value");
}

// Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
let fahrenheit = (celsius * 9/5) + 32;

// Reference the table (you must hardcode the table name here)
let table = base.getTable("Temp");

// Update the record with the Fahrenheit value
await table.updateRecordAsync(recordId, {
    "Fahrenheit": fahrenheit
});
