Currently, entity actions in OutSystems update all columns of a record, even when only specific attributes need to be modified. It would be highly beneficial to introduce an entity action that allows updating selected columns only, similar to an SQL UPDATE statement.

For instance, if I need to update only a user's mobile number, I should be able to pass the user ID and the new mobile number alone, without requiring the entire record. This approach would:

  1. Simplify the implementation.
  2. Improve performance by avoiding unnecessary updates to other attributes.

Hi Deepak,

Studio (ODC and O11) already provides a way to update only the modified attributes. This feature has been there for many, many years. You can set the update behavior to "Changed Attributes" in an entity's properties.

Hi Ricardo,

Thanks for the information.
