hi! I´m trying to update a field of a record with new data (stored in local variable in my interface and passed correctly as a rule input)
Even though the values are correctly saved, when I use the write records smart service it duplicates the rows and stores the value, with the rest of fields in null
I just want to update that field of my record, not to create new entries. Should I use the a!update function? How and where can I configure it in my code?
My interface code is the following:

When you write a record and the primary key is NULL, this becomes a new record. If the primary key has a value, it becomes an update.
Thanks Stefan, but in this case my primary Key is not null! (In fact, I put it as Auto-Increment)
What can be happening?
https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.3/Write_Records_Smart_Service.html#create-new-records
docs.appian.com/.../Write_Records_Smart_Service.html
Stefan's explanation of a 'NULL primary key value' refers to the requirement that when you submit data to the "write to record" smart service, the data should include an existing primary key from the record dataset if you intend to update an existing record; otherwise, it will result in the creation of a new entry.orcan you please share screenshot of your code for a better answer
Sure, here is my code. I´m saving the value into my rule input from lines 160 to 170.
This interface appears from a related record action. How can I include the value of my primary key in order to update correctly? Should I do it here in the Interface or in my process model?
Thanks a lot
1) Saving my values into local variable and ri!
2) ri! Has the values I want to update
When setting up a related record action for your record :
You can set up a process variable (where you'll store the primary key) and configure it as a parameter in the process connected to the related record action.
You can pass values from the related record action, either by sending the Id (primary key) or the entire record row data for which you are performing action.reference->
Once you have the primary key for the record you want to update, you can use the passed value in the interface or within the process model, depending on your preference, to update the record.
or you can prefer the documentation : https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.3/record-actions.html
I understand, but in this case, my related record action is in my "Record 1".
And the record I want to update is "Record 2". Can I add the identifier of the record 2 inside the related record action made in Record 1?
And my last question, where and how should I use this primary key to update the record? I have doubts in this case
