Hi! 👋


I am using the PUT version of the Airtable Update records API.





I have four columns/fields, Name , Contact , Attachment Image & Active.


Now I call the API to update just the Attachment Image column, with the below API body :









It updates the Attachment Image field’s value successfully, but clears all other fields. The record snapshots (before and after) look like -







  • Before -









  • After -











So, how can I make the API update that cell ONLY, and touch nothing else?



I hope you understand my query - Any help is appreciated! 🙂


Thanks!

You need to use a PATCH request instead of a PUT request.

Hi, @kuovonne! 😺



Un-fortunately, we do not have a PATCH kind of request in our development platform - only POST, PUT, GET & DELETE requests.



Any other way around?


Thanks!

What is your development platform? Can you send a PATCH request as a custom cURL request in your development platform?



If not, you may need to resort to the workaround of doing a read of all the fields in the record, and include them in your PUT request.

That would definitely work 😺



Thanks a lot! 🎉
