updateProperty()

Signature

updateProperty() — returns boolean

Available in: model Category: CRUD Functions

Description

Updates a single property on a model object and saves the record immediately without running the normal validation procedures. This method is particularly useful for quickly updating flags or boolean values on existing records where full validation is not necessary. You can control transaction behavior, parameterization, and callback execution when using this method.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
property	string	no	—	Name of the property to update the value for globally.
value	any	no	—	Value to set on the given property globally.
parameterize	any	no	true	Set to true to use cfqueryparam on all columns, or pass in a list of property names to use cfqueryparam on those only.
transaction	string	no	[runtime expression]	Set this to commit to update the database, rollback to run all the database queries but not commit them, or none to skip transaction handling altogether.
callbacks	boolean	no	true	Set to false to disable callbacks for this method.

Examples

1. Update a single property on an existing product
product = model("product").findByKey(56);
product.updateProperty("new", 1);

2. Update a boolean flag without callbacks or validations
user = model("user").findByKey(42);
user.updateProperty(property="isActive", value=false, callbacks=false);
