Updates of existing records are not supported. To do something like this,
you would need to delete the existing record, then upload the replacement
record.
While you can delete individual records through the user interface, there
is no servlet API for deleting individual records.

I am trying to upload an update to an existing submission - what are the
bare requirements if I only want to update a single field of a single
record?
This is what I have - ODK says it submitted but when I go to aggregate the
update is not there. In this instance the form is called PHX, and that is
the ID of an existing submittal in this form. I also tried placing the ID
inside the PHX element - also said it uploaded but also did not change the
'notes' column to read 'test.
Like everything else I'm sure it is a stupid error.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
uuid:18db7221-ccfe-4cb3-95f7-9861b9b0bfa9
test
Again, Aggregate, in its current form, was designed as a repository of
record not a database in which to do cleaning and editing. We are
always happy to consider including contributed code that solves a
problem pervasive in the community.
