RE: Update data from an interface

Can you tell us more about your requirement to "connect it to a process model"? As previously noted, you could make use of a!writeToDataStoreEntity() to update the data directly from the form, however if you will need to kick off a process model simultaneously, you should consider using that process to (also) update the data, and then perhaps do whatever subsequent processing you have in mind. This is because it can be tricky (or impossible) to stack multiple smart service executions into a single click in a SAIL form, but it's trivially easy to accomplish something similar within a called process (i.e. using a!startProcess()).

You can make use of the a!writetoDataStoreEntity on the saveInto of the button. Take a look at this recipe to adapt to your use case.

Use the Write to Data Store Entity Smart Service Function on an Interface - Appian 21.2
