[Solved] How to update nested Firebase value?

[tatiang]

I’m wondering how to update a nested Firebase value without the Realtime_DB component.

For example, how would I set the value of game data–>Players–>Guest–>Name below? I know how to create that object but… do I just create the object all over again when I want to update the value?

This is what I had in mind but it won’t work for obvious reasons:

I have a feeling this might be the answer:

Replace GET or SAVE Blocks with cloud variables

I just discovered a VERY simple and fast way to get and set Firebase data without using the GET or SAVE blocks (which has all sorts of asynchronous issues). The 2 any button click blocks below return the same data. Just put the GET block KEY variable into the CLOUD variable name and PRESTO. You have a synchronous call to firebase! [image] Similarly, you can set data anywhere in the JSON Hierarchy using cloud variables. Both of the examples below update Firebase, but the CLOUD based solution…

You need to address it with the “/” notation instead of object structure. Game ID/Players/Guest/Score=00

@muneer Okay, I see that. I thought this would work but it doesn’t change the value:

Ah, I had to include the top level directory (the variable name itself):

Thanks for your help!
