Update entity record

Update entity record node for modifying an existing record in a Data Fabric entity from a Flow, without an Integration Service connection.

Updates an existing record in a Data Fabric entity. This is a native Flow node — it doesn't require an Integration Service (IS) connection. It works only with entities created inside a VS Code solution. Refer to Entities in VS Code.

Configuration

The Identify record by field determines how the node locates the record to update. The two options are described below.

OptionDescription
Entity nameSelect the Data Fabric entity directly, set a Filter (field, operator, value) to identify the record, and select the Fields to update.
Entity referenceReuse a record already located by a Query entity records node earlier in the flow, instead of re-specifying the entity and filter.

Entity name

The panel shows the entity picker, the filter that identifies the record, and the list of fields to update.

Entity reference

The panel prompts you to select a Query entity records node from the flow. The record that node located is the one this node updates.

This node doesn't support the Error handling tab.

Output

The node's output mirrors the updated record's fields — the fields and types vary by entity, and typically include the entity's standard system fields (such as Id, CreateTime, CreatedBy, UpdateTime, and UpdatedBy) alongside your custom fields. Access them downstream as $vars.<nodeId>.output.<fieldName>.

The output panel includes a Live mode. When it is enabled, the output is a live reference to the record, tagged Live query in the schema tree, so downstream nodes always see its current values without an extra Query entity records node.
