I am trying to: simply update some fields but the guid field is not updating using cred_save_data function

$my_upost = array(
        	'ID'			=> $etid,
		   	'guid' 			=> '<em><u>hidden link</u></em>'.$etid,
		    'post_content'  => 'medarbejder er nu opdateret' .$post_id.' og post ID er: '.$etid
		   //'post_parent'	=> $post->ID
		   
		);
		wp_update_post($my_upost);

any idea why the guid field from within cred_save_data not get updated?
Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
password protected user
I expected to see: in mysql database the post table and guid field updated

Instead, I got: the guid field is not updated all other fields are

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - could you please try to use the following code and try to resolve your issue:

function func_custom_update_post( $post_id, $post ){
    global $wpdb;
    
     if ( 'your-post-type-slug' == $post->post_type ) {
       $columns= array(
            'guid'          => '<em><u>hidden link</u></em>'.$etid,
            'post_content'  => 'medarbejder er nu opdateret' .$post_id.' og post ID er: '.$etid       
           );

        $wpdb->update( $wpdb->posts, $columns, array( 'ID' => $etid ) ); 
     }
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'func_custom_update_post', 30, 2 );

Where:
- Replace 'your-post-type-slug' with your post type slug

Solved by
1: Overall issue:
The general save_post action must be used with a priority of at least 30 when used in conjunction with post types registered with Types, or inconsistencies in the updated data may be experienced.
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

 $columns = array(
        	'ID'			=> $etid,
		   	'guid' 			=> '<em><u>hidden link</u></em>'.$etid,
		    'post_content'  => 'medarbejder er nu opdateret' .$post_id.' og post ID er: '.$etid
		   //'post_parent'	=> $post->ID
		   
		);
		$wpdb->update( $wpdb->posts, $columns, array( 'ID' => $etid ) );
