Your code so far


// Setup
var collection = {
    "2548": {
      "album": "Slippery When Wet",
      "artist": "Bon Jovi",
      "tracks": [ 
        "Let It Rock", 
        "You Give Love a Bad Name" 
      ]
    },
    "2468": {
      "album": "1999",
      "artist": "Prince",
      "tracks": [ 
        "1999", 
        "Little Red Corvette" 
      ]
    },
    "1245": {
      "artist": "Robert Palmer",
      "tracks": [ ]
    },
    "5439": {
      "album": "ABBA Gold"
    }
};
// Keep a copy of the collection for tests
var collectionCopy = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(collection));

// Only change code below this line



function updateRecords(id, prop, value) {
  // First condition
  if(collection[id][prop] !== "tracks" && value !== ""){
    collection[id][prop] = value

    // Second condition
  }else if(collection[id][prop] === "tracks" ){
    if(!(collection[id][prop].hasOwnProperty(prop))){
      collection[id][prop] = value
    }
     
     //Third condition
  }else if(collection[id][prop] === "tracks" && value !== ""){
     collection[id][prop].push( value) 

     //Fourth condition
  }else if(value === ""){
    delete collection[id][prop]
  }
  return collection;
}

// Alter values below to test your code
console.log(updateRecords(5439, "artist", "ABBA"));

Your problem starts with the first one. What tests you pass, you pass accidentally.

collection[id][prop] will never equal “tracks” because tracks is a prop.

for instance, if id is 2548 and prop is "tracks", collection[id][prop] will be ["Let It Rock", You Give Love a Bad Name"]

What is collection[id][prop] ? Can it ever by equal to "tracks"?

Maybe you want to check what prop is instead
