Changes field values of a given record. Use it whenever a new record is created to set values for the fields or to update fields values for an existing record.
inputs:
entity – input the record, which fields values are to be set.
- Required: yes
in the following dropdown select the field which value is needed to update or set. In a dropdown each field displays as its Label, following with its system name. If there is no label, only the system name is displayed. To select several fields click ‘+’ in the operator. If the dropdown is empty, make sure that entity is input.
- Required: yes
Consider the following:
- If a field has a default value set in Studio/custom code and isn’t overwritten in Set Entity Attributes, then the field contains a default value.
- Date Created/Modified will be set to a time when the flowchart was fired, so there is no sense to set them with Set Entity Attributes
- Created by/Modified will be set with a user who initiated flowchart execution, so there is no sense to set them with Set Entity Attributes
- If there is formula for the field it is not possible to set values for this field with Set Entity Attributes
Do not leave fields without a linkage with a value. If a field is left without value, its value will be erased.
outputs:
entity – record with modified fields. Commonly use this output as input to Save Entity to preserve made changes.
