Umbraco Forms UpdateRecord not updating in back end

Umbraco Forms

Umbraco 7
Hi Guys/Gals,

Hopefully a simple one, I am updating a Record Field in a workflow called on approval using:
```
var recordStorage = new RecordStorage();
recordStorage.UpdateRecord(record, e.Form);
```
This appears to be working fine, no errors etc. But when I go in to the Umbraco Forms section of the back end and check my records, the values are not shown as changed. If I restart IIS Express (I'm still on my dev pc), the changed values show up, so clearly a caching thing.

How do I force these changes to show, do I need to update something else too?

I tried:
```
recordStorage.UpdateRecordXml(record, e.Form);
```
But that throws an error, see here: https://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-pro/contour/64073-Manipulating-values-on-submit#comment-216403

So appears that the XML table no longer exists and this method is a hangover?

Any thoughts here?

Thanks in advance..

In the UFRecords database table it looks like there is a "RecordData" field and I'm guessing the Umbraco backend uses this for the UI. So after updating the record field value I also updated the RecordData:
```
record.RecordData = record.GenerateRecordDataAsJson();
storage.UpdateRecord(record, e.Form);
```
It does look like the UpdateRecordXml method is no longer valid.

try delete and insert, seems to do the job.

public static void UpdateRecord(Record record)
{
    var form = record.GetForm();
    using (var recordStorage = new RecordStorage())
    {
        recordStorage.DeleteRecord(record, form);
        recordStorage.InsertRecord(record, form);
    }
}
