Object Edits Overview

Source: https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/object-edits/overview/ Captured during the ontology-parity effort.

NOTE: the dedicated object-edits/overview page is a navigation/landing page with no substantive feature body. Fetched twice (retried once) — both times it yielded only the landing facts below; the detailed edit/undo model is documented inline within the Action Types and Object Backend pages. The "Edit model" section that follows is therefore reconstructed from the adjacent canonical Foundry pages captured in this same directory — flagged so it is not mistaken for a verbatim capture of this URL.

Landing-page facts (verbatim from this URL)

  • Actions are "a single transaction that changes the properties of one or more objects, based on user-defined logic."
  • Users can "edit property values, add and remove links, and create and delete objects by applying Actions."
  • Constraint: "Actions are not yet supported on object types with Foundry stream datasources."
  • The page cross-references Actions, Workshop, Object Views, and the APIs sections for detail.

Edit model (reconstructed from adjacent canonical pages)

  • An edit is the unit of mutation an Action applies: a property value set, a link add/remove, or an object create/delete, committed as part of a single Action transaction.
  • Edits are tracked per object by the object backend (Object Storage tracks user-generated edits), forming an action/edit history.
  • Undo / revert and user edit-history tracking are listed as first-class Action observability/governance capabilities (see action-types-overview.md).
  • Edits drive writeback to the source datasource and are processed by the Object Data Funnel to keep the index synchronized (see object-backend-overview.md).
