You cannot modify data in an expression. That includes writing to the database or records.

Do this in a process model or in a saveInto of a UI component.

To write a record, use a!writeRecords()

As I already tried to explain. You can modify data only in a process or in a direct user interaction.

"The Write Records smart service is available as an expression function that can be executed inside a saveInto on a Interface Component or as part of a Web API."

You can try to describe your use case and we can help you to achieve this.
