I am trying to replace the existing document with new document but I'm getting this error .  I'm using the primary key  of the each record as target  ,I configured the update as record action, and I cannot delete the existing record because that Id is used as main request id since the record is created with document upload.

You should have 'Editor' rights to the document folder in order to do so. Can you check if your account permissions are appropriate?

I have administrator access , also gave editor access to all users.

okay..I think the problem is with Target having the primary key or record. Use the document field within the record instead as target

using the primary key  of the each record as target

What Appian version is this? Do you use the document data type in records? If yes, I think that you should use that document type field, but not the primary key of the record.

Use ri!record.documentField (the actual document ID stored in your record) as the target - not the primary key.
