D365 Update Record

Updates field values on an existing record in a Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Dataverse entity.

Purpose

Use this task when a workflow needs to modify data on a record that already exists in Dynamics 365, such as changing a status, updating contact details, or writing back calculated values from earlier workflow steps. The record is identified by its GUID. Optionally, specific fields can be returned after the update to confirm the new values or feed them into downstream tasks.
