Hello,
I was curious if there was a way to update archived fields, such as archived, archived_on, archived_by, without having to the delete the entity? i'd like to update and report on that field without having to delete its records.
thank you

Good afternoon Frank,
Fortunately you shouldn't have to delete the Entity at all. There's actually a Flow step called Update Entity that can be used to update archived fields.
This step is found under Toolbox > DATABASE in the Flow Designer. From the Properties tab you just select the desired Entity from the Type Name dropdown and provide its Entity ID in the Entity ID To Update field.
Once you've provided this information, the Entity's fields can be updated by providing the desired value under the step's INPUTS.

If you'd like to know more about this step as well as other Database related steps, you can check out the Database Step Glossary.
Hope this helps,
Have a good one!
