@jeffmillies I think your example is a bit different from what I'm trying to do. Your example is showing one way of updating/setting fields that are of base types (string, boolean, etc). The field that I'm trying to set is one that is defined as RecordRef. Using your customer example. How would I set something like 'category' or 'currency'? I'm seeing the different data types in the schema definition at
