Update Records (Advanced)
Overview
This action allows records to be updated while also setting advanced DML Options.
This action respects user permissions for Field Level Security and Object Level Security.
This action should only be used if the advanced functionality of setting DML Options is required, such as running assignment rules or allowing Field Truncation. Otherwise, it is recommended to use the standard Update Record action in Flows.

External ID Lookup Field Mappings
Set field mappings that enable lookup fields to be automatically set based on External ID fields in related objects. The format is a CSV of Lookup API Field Name:Related Object External ID API Field Name.
For example, let's say there is an Account record with an External_ID__c field containing a value of NS-1234. If you are inserting Contact records you can set the AccountId field
to NS-1234 on the Contact and pass in the following value to this configuration input.
AccountId:External_ID__c
Upon record update, the AccountId lookup field on the Contact will automatically point to the Account with the value of NS-1234 in the External_ID__c field.
