Scheduled Tasks to update instead of just append or replace
Please Include an update feature when creating an automated task. Right now we can only update or append. That means, either completely replace all current data with the new file.
For example. When importing new prices, I would like to just import the prices changes for current inventory and not have to replace everything in the file. I cannot do this with either replace or append. Caspio is very powerful and user friendly however without this simple change, it makes so many tasks much more complicated. I know that this is already a feature request for standard imports however for me, it really needs to be automated. I unfortunately only have one vote or i would give this three. Please vote if you like this idea.
The feature is now available in Bridge 8.3 version released in September of 2014.

Hi Matt,
Are you suggesting that the Scheduled Task needs to update only one specific field in the table or the entire record? For example, if a record exists based on some unique field that you specify in the configuration of the task, then update all fields of that record, else append that record to the table. Is that what you are envisioning for this feature?
Thanks.
