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.

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

test -f power.config.json
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/resolve-environment.js" "$(node -e \"console.log(require('./power.config.json').environmentId)\")"

Profile ID resolution (same priority as /assign-offline-profile Step 1):

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:

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:

node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../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:

node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/dataverse-request.js" <envUrl> PATCH \
  "mobileofflineprofileitems(<itemId>)" \
  --body '{
    "recorddistributioncriteria": <new>,
    "recordsownedbyme": <new-bool>,
    "syncintervalinminutes": <new>,
    "selectedcolumns": "{\"Columns\":[...]}"
  }'

For profile-level edits (name / description):

node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../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:

node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/dataverse-request.js" <envUrl> POST \
  "PublishXml" --body '{
    "ParameterXml": "<publish><mobileofflineprofiles><mobileofflineprofile>'"$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. Append a one-line entry to memory-bank.md ## Offline profile block:

edits:
  - { at: 2026-05-19T..., field: 'chnl_storevisit.syncintervalinminutes', from: 5, to: 10 }

Step 7 — Summary

✓ Edited profile.

  Field : chnl_storevisit.syncintervalinminutes
  From  : 5 min
  To    : 10 min
  Published: 2026-05-19T...

offline-profile.json + memory-bank.md updated.

Status code (final line)

• DONE — change applied and published
• DONE_WITH_CONCERNS: <list> — change applied but with caveats (publish timeout-then-success, etc.)
• NEEDS_CONTEXT: <missing> — couldn't resolve target table or profile
• BLOCKED: <reason> — auth or PATCH failure

What this skill does NOT do

• Add a NEW table to the profile → use /add-table-to-offline-profile
• Add a new association (relationship inclusion) → blocked on v0.2 selectedrelationshipsschema work; use maker portal in the meantime
• Delete the whole profile → manual DELETE /mobileofflineprofiles(<id>) (cascade-deletes items + associations); see dataverse-offline-api.md §11
• Migrate the profile between environments → use CloneMobileOfflineProfile action (v0.5 work)
