Update Entity

Update an entity in an Azure Table.

Example
This flow iterates through each employee in an Azure Table, checks if they’ve been inactive for over 30 days based on lastLoginDate, and updates their status to "inactive" if needed. It processes each employee one by one, then ends with a 'Done' step once all are evaluated.

2. Set a custom value – This option lets you define a custom value for the PartitionKey. “PartitionKey value” will be applicable if the “PartitionKey type” is set to “Use a custom value”.
