# Edit Offline Profile
Re-run a single piece of an existing profile — change one table's row scope, update the column list, adjust sync frequency, or rename the profile. Avoids the cognitive cost of walking the full /setup-offline-profile wizard for a one-line change.
Scope: existing profile (read from `offline-profile.json` or `--profile-id`); edits at the table-item granularity. To ADD a new table see `/add-table-to-offline-profile`; to delete the entire profile see [dataverse-offline-api.md §11](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/references/dataverse-offline-api.md).
## Workflow
1. Verify project + locate profile → 2. Resolve target (which table / what to change) → 3. Show current vs proposed → Single confirm → 4. PATCH → 5. Publish → 6. Update artifacts → 7. Summary
---
### Step 1 — Verify project + locate profile
```bash
test -f power.config.json
node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/resolve-environment.js" "$(node -e \"console.log(require('./power.config.json').environmentId)\")"
```
Profile ID resolution (same priority as `/assign-offline-profile` Step 1):
| Source | Used when |
|---|---|
| `$ARGUMENTS` `--profile-id <guid>` | Explicit override |
| `offline-profile.json` top-level `profileId` in cwd | Default for `/setup-offline-profile`-created projects |
| Otherwise | `AskUserQuestion` with list from `GET /mobileofflineprofiles` |
STOP if no profile found: "Run `/setup-offline-profile` first."
> **`power.config.json` is intentionally NOT consulted here.** That file is owned by `npx power-apps init`. The profile ID lives in `offline-profile.json` only.
### Step 2 — Resolve target (what to edit)
Parse `$ARGUMENTS`:
| Flag pattern | Effect |
|---|---|
| `--rename <new-name>` | Update profile `name` |
| `--describe <text>` | Update profile `description` |
| `--table <logical-name> --scope <0\|1\|2>` | Change one table's `recorddistributioncriteria`. Combine with `--me`, `--team`, `--bu` to set sub-flags when scope=2. |
| `--table <logical-name> --sync <minutes>` | Change one table's `syncintervalinminutes` (range 5–1440) |
| `--table <logical-name> --columns add:col1,col2 remove:col3` | Add or remove logical names from `selectedcolumns`. Comma-separated, both add/remove optional. |
| `--table <logical-name> --columns reset` | Replace selectedcolumns with union of always-include + manifest lookups + screen-grep'd (re-runs the architect's Step 6 union for this table) |
If no flags → interactive picker. `AskUserQuestion` with up-to-4 most likely edits:
- "Rename profile"
- "Change a table's scope" → next message asks which table
- "Change a table's sync frequency" → next message asks which table + value
- "Edit a table's column list" → next message asks which table + add/remove
### Step 3 — Show current vs proposed (single gate)
GET the current item state from Dataverse for any tables being edited:
```bash
node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/dataverse-request.js" <envUrl> GET \
"mobileofflineprofileitems(<itemId>)?\$select=name,recorddistributioncriteria,recordsownedbyme,recordsownedbymyteam,recordsownedbymybusinessunit,syncintervalinminutes,selectedcolumns"
```
Render a current/proposed diff:
```
Profile : <name> (<id>)
Editing : <table-logical-name> item
Current → Proposed
Scope : Org+me → All records
Sync (min) : 10 → 30
Columns : 14 → 16 (add: chnl_notes, chnl_actual_visit_date)
```
`AskUserQuestion`: "Apply this change? [Apply / Cancel]"
If `Apply` → continue. If `Cancel` → STOP.
### Step 4 — PATCH
Build the PATCH body with only the fields that changed:
```bash
node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/dataverse-request.js" <envUrl> PATCH \
"mobileofflineprofileitems(<itemId>)" \
--body '{
"recorddistributioncriteria": <new>,
"recordsownedbyme": <new-bool>,
"syncintervalinminutes": <new>,
"selectedcolumns": "{\"Columns\":[...]}"
}'
```
For profile-level edits (name / description):
```bash
node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/dataverse-request.js" <envUrl> PATCH \
"mobileofflineprofiles(<profileId>)" \
--body '{"name": "...", "description": "..."}'
```
### Step 5 — Publish
Use the **targeted `PublishXml`** recipe from [shared/references/dataverse-offline-api.md §9](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/references/dataverse-offline-api.md):
```bash
node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/dataverse-request.js" <envUrl> POST \
"PublishXml" --body '{
"ParameterXml": "<publish><mobileofflineprofiles><mobileofflineprofile>'"$PROFILE_ID"'</mobileofflineprofile></mobileofflineprofiles></publish>"
}'
```
Publishes only this profile, not the entire org's customizations. Avoids the 429 rate-limit storms on shared envs that the legacy `PublishAllXml` triggered.
On `400 / 0x80071141` "circular relationship" — same handling as `/setup-offline-profile` Step 8 (parse cycle path, prompt user to drop one association, retry). Fallback to `PublishAllXml` only if `PublishXml` returns an unexpected error other than the cycle case.
### Step 6 — Update artifacts
Re-read the changed item(s) and rewrite the matching entry in `offline-profile.json`. When the edit changed a table's **columns** (`--columns add:/remove:/reset`), also refresh that table entry's `schemaColumns` to the table's current full column set from `.datamodel-manifest.json` (root or `docs/plan-artifacts/`). This re-baselines the schema-reconciliation marker so a delta that was just reconciled clears on the next `scripts/offline-profile-delta.js` run; leave `schemaColumns` untouched for scope/sync/rename-only edits.
