Edit object step allows you to edit current object and objects connected with it via links.

Basic step settings

There can be several fields editing, each includes:

Advanced step settings

Single-thread execution (lock)

The way to avoid collisions while writing to the same field.

  • Lock key (field type of link like {{userID}} or {{ContextVar.userID}});

  • Time of lock in milliseconds;

  • Global lock option (cross-scenario setting)

Generation of an event

Remember! You cannot combine serial actions with the same field in a single step. You have to create step-by-step chain. It means if you want to increase {{field}} to 5, and then divide it by 10, you should create two separate steps for {{field}} + 5, and then in the second step {{field}} / 10 (don't forget to turn on for such calculations).

The field to edit ();

The value () – here you can apply JS-interpreter.

Following the , editing an object can trigger other scenarios. By default, this step edits an object in "silence mode", but you can turn on the event generation.
