## When to use this node

Change column values of an existing row in a database table

Add **Update Database Row** to a workflow branch using the node picker. Configure its fields in the inspector, then connect the next step.

## Configure the fields

| Field | What to enter |
| --- | --- |
| **Database** | Choose the database in this organization. |
| **Table** | Choose the table and check its columns. |
| **Row ID** | Set this value in the inspector. Use the variable picker where the field supports expressions. |
| **Fields to update** | Only the columns listed here are changed; all other columns keep their current value. A blank value clears the column. |
| **Column** | The column to change. |
| **New value** | Set this value in the inspector. Use the variable picker where the field supports expressions. |

Select your destination database and table before mapping columns. Column choices and row outputs depend on the selected table. After copying a node between organizations, select these resources again.

## Use the result

Choose the output from the variable picker in a later step. Output names below identify the values supplied by this node; the picker inserts the correct reference for your node instance.

| Output | Meaning / label |
| --- | --- |
| `updated` | Row was updated (true/false) |
| `error` | Error message |

## Connect the next step

Connect the continuation shown on the canvas. Some nodes calculate their branches from the configured options. Read each branch label in the editor and connect the paths your workflow needs.

## Test it in a workflow

1. Configure this node with a small, recognizable test input or a test resource.
2. Check the variables from preceding steps and the connection selected in the inspector.
3. Save the workflow. For event-driven flows, generate the actual event; use **Run** only for a Manual workflow.
4. Open **Workflow Activity** and check the outcome before enabling wider use.

## If something goes wrong

- Check empty variables, selected resource IDs, and any fields that appeared after resource selection.
- Check the failed step in Workflow Activity before retrying. If the action may already have completed, inspect the destination first to avoid duplicates.
- Follow the [troubleshooting guide](/help/troubleshooting/) for a symptom-by-symptom checklist.
