    Umbraco Forms UpdateRecord not updating in back end

    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..

    Mark

    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    It does look like the UpdateRecordXml method is no longer valid.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);
    }
}
