Create data

Function: Create data

This action allows you to create a new record and store it in your application's built-in database. You can define the type of data you want to create (its "data-format") and provide all the necessary information for the new record.

Input,

Name (Text, required, default: 'New data') Specify a unique name for the new data record you are creating. This helps you identify it later.
Data-format (Data Format, required) Choose the type of data you want to create. This defines the structure and available fields for your new record (e.g., "Product", "Customer", "Order").
Body (Object, required) Provide all the details and values for the fields of your new data record. The structure of this information must match the selected "Data-format". For example, if your "Data-format" is "Product", you might provide fields like "Product Name", "Price", and "Description".

Output,

Data id (Text, required, default: CREATED_DATA_ID) This is the name of a variable where the unique identifier (ID) of the newly created data record will be stored. You can then use this ID in other actions to reference or modify the record.
