Set-Volume
    -Entry
```

Returns a [volume](https://apidocs.agilityblue.com/#ee58c718-6eff-43a5-b23c-106ae336400d) object.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required? | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Entry | [Volume](https://apidocs.agilityblue.com/#ee58c718-6eff-43a5-b23c-106ae336400d) Object | Yes |  |

## Examples

### Update an existing volume

```powershell
# Update an existing volume

# 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-Volume -Id 41

# Update a couple system fields:
$entry.DocCount = 1000
$entry.NativeCount = 1000
$entry.PageCount = 0

# Update a single choice custom field named "Volume Type" to "Produced to Opposing Counsel"
$volumeTypeField = $entry.Fields | Where-Object { $_.Label -eq "Volume Type" }

# 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 $volumeTypeField.Value) {
  $volumeTypeField.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'
$volumeTypeField.Value.ValueAsString = "Produced to Opposing Counsel"

# We want to update a reference custom field named "Requesting Party" to "Ellena Connor <econnor@company.com>"
$requestingPartyField = $entry.Fields | Where-Object { $_.Label -eq "Requesting Party" }

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

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

$requestingPartyField.Value.ReferenceObject.Values = @(
  @{
    KeyAsInteger = 78
    Value = "Ellena Connor <econnor@company.com>"
  }
)

# Save the modified volume
$data = Set-Volume -Entry $entry

# Output some information to help indicate that the volume was updated
Write-Output "Volume $($data.VolumeId) ($($data.Name)) 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:

```plaintext
Volume 41 (AGM003) was updated
