## Examples

### Update an existing media log entry

```powershell
# Update an existing media log entry

# A common flow for updating existing data is to first retrieve the data using the GET
# command, update specific fields, and then provide the modified data back using the SET command.

$entry = Get-MediaLogEntry -Id 57

# Update the "Location" system field:
$entry.Location = "TX"

# Update a single choice custom field named "Media Status" to "Returned"
$mediaStatusField = $entry.Fields | Where-Object { $_.Label -eq "Media Status" }

# This is a safety check to make sure that a value exists. For example, the value object may
# not exist on a field because the custom field was added after the entry already existed.
if ($null -eq $mediaStatusField.Value) {
  $mediaStatusField.Value = @{}
}

# Here, we update the 'ValueAsString' property of the value because our custom field is a text-
# based field. If this was a whole number, you would use 'ValueAsNumber', a decimal would be
# 'ValueAsDecimal', a yes/no field would be 'ValueAsBoolean', and a date field would be 'ValueAsDate'
$mediaStatusField.Value.ValueAsString = "Returned"

# We want to update a reference custom field named "Custodian" to "Albert Lloyd"
$custodianField = $entry.Fields | Where-Object { $_.Label -eq "Custodian" }

if ($null -eq $custodianField.Value) {
  $custodianField.Value = @{}
}

if ($null -eq $custodianField.Value.ReferenceObject) {
  $custodianField.Value.ReferenceObject = @{}
}

$custodianField.Value.ReferenceObject.Values = @(
  @{
    KeyAsInteger = 6
    Value = "Albert Lloyd"
  }
)

# Save the modified media log entry
$data = Set-MediaLogEntry -Entry $entry

# Output some information to help indicate that the media log entry was updated
Write-Output "Media log entry $($data.MediaLogEntryId) ($($data.MediaTypeName)) was updated"

# For debug purposes, convert the data to output as JSON so we can see all the fields
Write-Output ""
Write-Output "JSON Results:"

$jsonOutput = $data | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10

# Output the data
Write-Output $jsonOutput
```

Execution results:

```json
Media log entry 57 (Computer) was updated
