| Setting          | Description                                                                                                                                                                           | [Parsed](https://docs10.xenioo.com/actions-and-operations/dynamic-parsing) |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Collection       | The collection to be used for the action                                                                                                                                              | :no\_entry:                                                                |

| Record Unique Id | The unique id of the record to be deleted. If left empty,[ Filter Operations](https://docs10.xenioo.com/actions-and-operations/database/set-field-filter-value) will be used instead. | :white\_check\_mark:                                                       |

### Remarks

This action alone does not produce any result. At least one [Field Operation](https://docs10.xenioo.com/actions-and-operations/database/set-field-value) must be attached for the action to be executed. Assuming we want to increase by 50 the cost of a product with a specific id, a complete Save Record action may look like the example below: 

![](https://2678899722-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LdPD9c4fJbXSAZcPHt9%2F-M_bW5ZwNLHN9-nWuYv7%2F-M_bX-404YJjqwBwP9h9%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=76daace2-3d30-4fa4-a357-e2922ee37fbd)

If no unique id is specified for the record or no record exist with the specified value, the Save Mode will be automatically set to replace whole record mode.

### Trigger

This action automatically triggers all of the [Set Field operations](https://docs10.xenioo.com/actions-and-operations/database/set-field-value) attached.

### Variables

This action produces the following variables after being triggered:

| Variable                   | Description                                                    |
