    Introduction​

    The upsert plugin allows you to insert or update a record in a database table other than the form's current table.

    Options​

    First we want to select which list it is we will be updating:

    • Connection - the fabrik connection
    • List - the fabrik list
    Then we need to state that list's primary key

    • Primary key - the Lists primay key
    • Row value - The value for the Primary key element. Leave blank to insert a new row. Can use {Placeholders}
    • Values - press this to select how the current form's values are mapped into the update / insert. This opens the following window:

    • Key - the upsert list's field
    • Value - the value to update/insert into the upsert list. This can be a string or a placeholder. In the example above we are inserting the raw data from the current form's street and name Elements into the upsert Lists city and name fields.
    • Default - If nothing selected for the value or a placeholder returns an empty value, then use this.
