# record-update

The dns record-update command updates an existing DNS record in a specific DNS zone. This command requires the DNS zone ID, record ID, and updated record details.

## Usage

```
cldkctl dns record-update [zone_id] [record_id] [flags]
```

## Steps

Follow the steps below to run and view the result of this command:

1. A DNS record can be updated by running the command with flags:

```
cldkctl dns record-update [dns-zone-id] [record-id] --type [record-type] --name [record-name] --content [record-content] --ttl [record-ttl]
```

2. Replace `[dns-zone-id]` with the ID of the DNS zone. Refer to dns list section to obtain the DNS zone ID.
3. Replace `[record-id]` with the ID of the DNS record. Refer to dns record-list section to obtain the record ID.
4. Replace `[record-type]` with the DNS record type.
5. Replace `[record-name]` with the record name.
6. Replace `[record-content]` with the record value.
7. Replace `[record-ttl]` with the desired TTL (time to live) value.
8. Or alternatively, run the command without flags to update a DNS record interactively using TUI mode:

```
cldkctl dns record-update [dns-zone-id] [record-id]
```

9. The Type field displays the current DNS record type.
10. The Name field allows editing of the DNS record name.
11. The IPv4 Address (or record content) field allows editing of the record value.
12. The TTL field allows editing of the record’s time to live value.
