Select Update Current Record when you want a task to update a record in process, while the task runs.

The process for mapping output to update a record in process is the same as mapping output for creating or updating records. See Map Output for Creating or Updating RecordsMap Output for Creating or Updating Records for details.

From the Outputs tab, click Save to File.
