Update geo_point in task

Stefan Pointecker

hey, 

I am trying to update a geo_point field after getting the coordinates via the address in a task.

Everything works fine so far but I do not see how I can create a geo_point variable to update the database entry?

Hey, Stefan. You don't need to create a special type of variable to update a geo_point -- this is basically just storing a latitude and a longitude. In this example, I'm querying a record with a geo_point field, and updating a variable with a new value.

hey thanks for your response.
in my case I am editing a record which has no geo_point at the beginning and a new one should be stored to this record.

So do I need to create the whole object with the type: point too?[Bildschirmfoto 2022-07-20 um 14.46.20.png]

Okay, I think I got it working by adding the whole geo_point structure into the edit record step:
