Have updateRow function chose field to update dynamically

Joe, have you verified that the field name var is being populated correctly? (console.log(salesforceFieldNameVar ); ) Are you generating that name yourself, and failing to include the __c suffix?

Is the salesforceFieldNameVar getting a string, or an object?

Mark, is it necessary to create a string value for the field name, the colon, and the value – everything between the {} curly braces?
