Using loader to force updates

[fariazz]

Hi @AliHichem,

I wanted to know if it's in the horizon of this bundle to allow for DB entry updates using the yml files.

For example, say I have a Permission entity, which has a unique field Permission.uniqueName, this field is used by the AliDataLoader to prevent duplication of existing data, while at the same time insert new Permissions from the yml.

Imagine now that I inserted a Permission, and now I want to change another field of that Permission entity (for example Permission.level). This Permission is already in the DB, so it won't be re-loaded, so the only way to update it is to do it manually in the DB.

So my question is if something like this (force an update, based on a unique field value) will be added. I think it would be a great feature to add, at least very useful in my project.

Cheers

Hi @fariazz ,

Yes this is a great idea I think, It should be easy to implement. I'll see it deeper as soon as I can.

Thanks !
