Imports:
map

Examples:
map :create_users, range(1, arg(:count)) do
output :create_user
create :create_user, Org, :create do

clause. The default value is:halted

Declares a step that will call a update action on a resource.
Examples:
update :update_post, MyApp.Post, :update do
record result(:get_post)
end
:record
(term/0
) - Required. The record to be updated, can use template helpers, e.gresult(:step_name)

If the value isnil
, the step is skipped andnil
is the result of the step. Any other value is used as an input record.:name

.
If the value isnil
and would be required by the action type, the step is skipped andnil
is the result of the step. Any other value is used as an input record.:only_keys
