Update Row
The Update Row action step allows you to update a row or multiple rows in a table by a given condition.
To run this action, you need to specify the filter condition to find the row to update, for example:
// id = 23
{{ui.table.updatedRow.data.id}}
And you also need to specify the values to update. You can do this in the following ways:
Update values field by field:
// name = 'John'
{{ui.table.updatedRow.data.name}}
Switch to JS mode (JS button) and send the updated values as an object:
{{ui.table.updatedRow.data}}
or:
{
name: "John",
age: 30
}

This object will be sent to the server and converted to an UPDATE
statement, for example:
UPDATE users SET name = 'John', age = 30 WHERE id = 23
You can check the action's Payload tab to see the actual object sent to the server.
If any conditions are specified as null or undefined, they will be removed from the conditions list. If all conditions are removed, it may result in updating all rows in the table if the Bulk Update setting is enabled.
Unset fields will be presented as undefined and will NOT be used in the UPDATE
statement:
{
id: 23,
created_at: "2022-10-21",
// this value will not be sent to the server
required_at: undefined,
}
You can always adjust the data before sending it.
Examples
Adding additional values
const values = {{ui.form.value}};
return {
...values,
updated_at: new Date(),
}
The created_at
column must exist in the table schema, otherwise it will not be sent.
Changing values
const values = {{ui.form.value}};
return {
...values,
name: values.name.toUpperCase(),
}
Deleting unnecessary values
const values = {{ui.form.value}};
delete values.age;
return values;
or:
const values = {{ui.form.value}};
const { updated_at, ...rest } = values;
return rest;
Joining array values
const values = {{ui.form.value}};
return {
...values,
tags: values.tags.join(','),
}
Using default values
const values = {{ui.form.value}};
return {
...values,
// if the value is not set, use the default value
created_at: values.created_at || new Date(),
}
Additional settings
If you need to update multiple rows, you can select the Bulk Update checkbox in the action's settings.
We recommend being very careful with this setting since it can update all rows in the table.
