$w ( '#likeBtn' ). onClick (  function () { 
    let  id  =  $w ( '#dynamicDataset' ). getCurrentItem (). _id ; //get id from the current item from dataset 
    let  options  = { "suppressAuth" :  **true** ,  "suppressHooks" :  **false** }; //want to bypass permission check 
    wixData . **get** ( "ba7ari" ,  id ,  options ) //getting the item 
    . then ( ( item ) => { 
        item . likes ++;  // incrementing the likes by one 
        wixData . update ( "ba7ari" ,  item ,  options ); //updating the database (ERROR comes up) 
    });

PS: The dataset i am working with is only for site members and i want any visitor to be able to like then update the like field in the dataset. In the Update function, i can supress the check for the permission so the info can be updated in the dataset. For the update function to work correctly i have to get the item, change what is needed to be changed then update with the item changed Value. I cannot use setfieldvalue because the value wouldn’t be accepted due to the submitter being not a site member

I don’t understand why you need to get the item in the dataset if you already have it under .getCurrentItem() .

$w("#myDataset").onReady(() => {
    $w("#likeBtn").onClick(function () {
        let item = $w("#dynamicDataset").getCurrentItem()
        let itemLikes = item.likes
        itemLikes++
        let options = { suppressAuth: true, suppressHooks: false }
        $w("#dynamicDataset").setFieldValue("likes", itemLikes)
        $w("#dynamicDataset").save()
    })
})

@bwprado thanks for replying.
there are missing info in my post. The dataset i am working with is only for site member and i want any visitor to be able to like and update the like field in the dataset. In the Update function, i can supress the check for the permission so the info can be updated in the dataset. For the update function i have to get the item, change what is needed to be changed then update with the item with changed Value. I cannot use setfieldvalue because the value wouldn’t be accepted due to the submitter being not a site member
