Reverse Lookup field Update

Question

I have a lookup field which has 2 additional fields (all coming from List 1) which appear in List 2. Field 1, Field 2 and Status. Field 1 is the primary lookup, field 2 and Status just show the relevant data in relation to the selection from Field 1. I am wondering if its possible that when List 2 updates to a certain Status that the "Status" field in List 1 also updates to the same status.

I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance.

As per the comments above, in order to achieve this you can get the item ID of list 1 in workflow (added on List 2) by using lookup and based on your conditions & the list 1 item ID, you can change the status in list 1.

Here is the rough flow:

1. Create a on list 2 on item change event.
2. Get the item id of list 1 from lookup column in list 2.
3. Add If condition to check it the status is changed.
4. If status is changed then update item in list 1 using lookup ID and "Update item" action.
