Table Of Contents
The mandatory record parameter is a JavaScript object that contains one or more fields
specified in the Data Model.
The record parameter may contain a subset of the fields in the Data Model. Only the fields
included in the record parameter are updated in the database, while the contents of all other
fields remain unchanged.
The call fails if the parameter is omitted or empty, if any of the fields specified in the record
doesn't exist in the Data Model, or if a value cannot be converted to the data type that is
expected in a field.
About data types
Where possible, values are automatically converted into the data type of the respective data
field.
Note
Dates must be passed as a Date object to allow them to be extracted into a Date field.
See Date in the Mozilla help files.
Passing an improper data type triggers an error. For instance the following objects are all
invalid:
{ myBoolean : "true" } - The myBoolean field is boolean and expects a boolean, not a string
{ myDate : "2021-03-29" } - The myDate field is a date and expects a Date object:myDate:
new Date(2021,2,29), not a string
{ myPageCount : 2.5 } - The myPageCount field is an integer and expects a number without
any decimals
{ myPrice : "19.99" } - The myPrice field is a currency and expects a number value, not a
string
Example
record.set({customerName : "John Doe", customerAddress : "123 test
road"});
The following example adds a row to a detail table and sets some values in it.
