Is there any way to do partial update?

[prateekgoel]

Hi,
I need to update the data in database partially.
I am receiving updated fields of an entity from backend.
If i call update on entity using that data, rest of the fields will become null, so I cannot do that.

I do no want to write a @query for update bcz the number of fields are more and are dynamic (comes from server).

So, is there any way I can update the data partially? (update only the columns that i pass in arguments and keep the rest to the existing values)

Android Room does have that feature, but I couldn't find anything in floor.

No, currently there isn't.

We should have this feature then.
