The more fields need to be unique when inserting, the higher the chance of creating a new record. It looks for all the fields on a record and if even one is different, it doesn't update, but creates a new one.

Hi @Ramu8 ,
Coalesce can have multiple fields set to "true" in the field list at the bottom of a transform map. All fields must match for an update to happen. If they don't all match then an insert happens. That's how it works.
