Thanks Fons only was able to pick this up again today and it was very easy only the name assign variables was tricking me into thinking that I could only assign values to local variables and not actual entity values.

Hi,
How do I make an automatic update to the IsCompleted and CompleteDate attributes with an action?
The update action only let's me choose a group of records (Entity) for me to say what is going to be update if I'm doing a manual update.
Nothing like this was referenced during the One Hour tutorial...
Best regards
Hi Bruno,
Since no one answered you question, i will give it a go. You probably already figured it out by now, but if not, maybe i can help you.
The best and simplest way to update a record, is to retrieve the record using a aggregate or advanced SQL query (if you know the id of the record, you can also use the Entities Get action or depending on your needs, the GetForUpdate action).
Once you have the original record you can set the new values for that record and use the Entities Update action to save the changes to the db.
Hope this helped, if not let me know what i should clarify!
Regards
