Hi Alex,

One of the simplest ways to achieve what you seem to need here would be 
as follows:

- Get the model object corresponding to the record you wish to edit.

- Call the setter corresponding to the values you wish to replace with 
reference to the model object you have received. You do not need to call 
all setters, only the ones you need.

- use update with the model object.

That should be all!
