Method SetIfFieldExists

core/record_model.go:867–887

SetIfFieldExists sets the provided key-value data pair into the current Record model ONLY if key is existing Collection field name/modifier. This method does nothing if key is not a known Collection field name/modifier. On success returns the matched Field, otherwise - nil. To set any key-value,

(key string, value any)

//
// To set any key-value, including custom/unknown fields, use the [Record.Set] method.
func (m *Record) SetIfFieldExists(key string, value any) Field {
	for _, field := range m.Collection().Fields {
		ff, ok := field.(SetterFinder)
		if ok {
			setter := ff.FindSetter(key)
			if setter != nil {
				setter(m, value)
				return field
			}
		}

		// fallback to the default field PrepareValue method for direct match
		if key == field.GetName() {
			value, _ = field.PrepareValue(m, value)
			m.SetRaw(key, value)
			return field
		}
	}

	return nil
}
