If the Container property contains an instance of `DataExtensionField`, and the value of the `Action` property is `DELETE`, the call drops any child fields. Otherwise, the call adds or updates all child fields depending upon whether they exist. ## Properties | Name | Data Type | Description | | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Action` | String | Defines the action to take for the specified object. Valid values are `CREATE`, `DELETE`, and `UPDATE`. | | `CallsInConversation` | Integer | Indicates the number of calls that are part of a conversation.

When you specify both `RequestExpirationTime` and `ScheduledTime` in a request, the `RequestExpirationTime` must occur after the `ScheduledTime`. | | `RequestType` | [RequestType](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/marketing/marketing-cloud/guide/requesttype.md) object | The type of request. Possible values are `synchronous` and `asynchronous`. | | `SaveOptions` | Array of [SaveOption](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/marketing/marketing-cloud/guide/saveoption.md) objects | Specifies how information is overwritten. | | `ScheduledTime` | String | The date and time at which the request must be processed.
