Update record action

Updates a record with specified values. If you do not provide a value for a field, that field reverts to its default value.

Contrast this with the Merge action, that does not change the value of the field if you do not provide a new value.

Input fields

• Object

• Select the SuccessFactors object. Because objects can have similar names, the list includes their internal names.

• Object unique key

• Select the column that contains the object ID.

• Additional attributes

• Depending on the object you select and your SuccessFactors configuration, subsequent fields appear where you define additional attributes for the record, such as ID, start date, and status.

• You may also select additional optional attributes to update.

• A common attribute is a navigation field, which associates this record with other records through a URI, such as a user to their manager. See Using navigation fields.

Output fields

The output fields vary depending on the object you select. To view the available data pills, review the output datatree.

DateTime fields

The system converts DateTime fields to UTC time. It infers the origin time zone from the instance's environment time zone (opens new window), unless otherwise stated. Learn more about Datatree and data pills.
