Hi,

First of all, here’s what my project bucket looks like : [there are sub-buckets inside a main project bucket, which contain the values]

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/6/e6be07845d85060780a2dea9e649dd508e90e12a.png)

> Here, I plan to update the **`status`** property of the **`ODR2571`** sub-bucket, which is under the **`STR1001`** bucket. I want to update that property from ‘processing’ to ‘completed’.

But, when I execute these blocks : [the `textinput1` & `textinput2` contain the **`STR1001`** & **`ODR2571`** respectively]

Something like this happens : [the status is updated successfully, but all the other properties get deleted]

Here’s a video with a proper representation of my issue :

Please guide me if you have any idea about what I should do 🙂  
Thanks a lot!

You need to drill down

Instead of just this

Add /status to the end of the path and only update the value with a text block. Don’t use the object block
