Hi! :wave:
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! :slightly_smiling_face:
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.

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

If this answers your question, please mark this post as the solution. Otherwise, could you please give a bit more details?

Hi, @kuovonne! :smiley_cat:
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!
