search and update a line of data

Hello

i have a problem i would like to be able to do a search on the unique identifier of an item in my dataset in order to be able to modify the different items like the name, the price, the delivery date and the comment and that this is updated in my original file.

I've tried the search and replace tool but it requires you to know the old value before entering the new one and then it will change the value in the whole dataset I want unique for a line I've chosen

I don't have any data to give you as an example.

Sincerely

May be you can use the control parameter to pass the identifier and once it matches with the data then you can use your replace value or string whatever
