Update based on field

If each record in your API response has an id field or some other unique field you can use this as the basis for updating the records in your output table. This makes the update far more robust as Data Fetcher will match each entity to the relevant record rather than naiively using the order of the records.
Update based on field
You will need to have run the request at least once to have created the possible fields.
