# Update field

> Update an Airtable field definition.

`airtable.updateField` changes a field's name, description, or options.

```ts automations/rename-stage-field.automation.ts theme={null}
import { automation } from "automate.ax"
import { airtable } from "automate.ax/airtable"

export default automation("Rename stage field", () => {
  airtable.updateField({
    baseId: "app123",
    tableId: "tbl123",
    fieldId: "fld123",
    name: "Lifecycle stage",
  })
})
```

`baseId`, `tableId`, and `fieldId` are required. Supply at least one of `name`, `description`, or provider-documented `options`. Returns the updated field. Requires `schema.bases:write` and base creator access.
