Update a row only if there's a value

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by siarem23

Hi,

I'm trying to create an expression in "Update a row" action where I want to change the field value if there's a value, if not I want to keep it empty. How can I achieve that?

As you can see on the screenshot, I want to update the "Name" field only if there's already a name in the field, if not I want to keep it empty.

Could it be done with Expressions or should I follow a different approach. Couldn't find a way as newbie.

    Hi @siarem23 ,

    You could do that by adding a "condition" above the "Update a row" and checking if the Name field is empty.

    Does it make work for you ?
