# Update record action
Updates a record in a data table. You must specify a new value for all columns you plan to update.
# Input fields
- Choose a data table
- Select a data table where to make changes.
- Record ID
- The ID of the record you plan to update. Workato automatically generates a unique ID for each record in a data table. Obtain the Record ID by viewing the Record ID column in the data table, which is hidden by default.
# Additional input fields
Additional input fields correspond to columns in the data table you select.
You must specify a new value for each column you plan to update. If you do not specify a value for a field, Workato does not update its corresponding column.
# Required fields/columns
Additionally, the values you enter must match the column type. For example, if a column is of an integer type, its corresponding input field in the recipe editor only accepts a whole number.
See column types for more information on the values columns/input fields accept.
