Hi Max,
I'm trying to save data in an old database table but aren't able to nake it to work, are only added new records but with empty fields.
The data are saved also in datalog but I don't need this behaviour.
I want to exclude some data that is also sent by email.

in the "data source" of the "Save Data" action use
{data:}


then add a "Modify data source" behavior to the "Save data", and use this format to "unset" (remove) the unwanted field:

-field_name
