The following is an example of updating the Custom Object Record, where we are changing some of the fields. (See [Custom Object](docId\:fGPsbggFpzat8WQLDCqU1) for all available fields).  The NetSuite Custom Object Record Id (internalId) is required to update the Custom Object Record.

Note: You can only create one record at a time.

The response returns the complete Custom Object Record information, but we have shortened the response in our example for ease of reading.

```apex
//  Create a Map to store all the data of a Custom Object

	nsCustomObject.put('isInactive', true);
