Synopsis
This operator updates records of a Salesforce object from the input example set.Description
This operator updates entries for a Salesforce object from the input example set in the specified Salesforce instance. Each example of the input data will update one record. The selected attributes will be used as the respective field values. Each record is identified by its ID, which is taken from the ID attribute.
