update_field()

Description

Updates resource field. Works out the previous value, so this is
not efficient if we already know what this previous value is (hence
it is not used for edit where multiple fields are saved)

Parameters

ColumnTypeDefaultDescription
$resource integer Resource ID
$field integer Field ID
$value string The new value
&$errors array array Any errors that may occur during update
$log boolean true Log this change in the resource log?
$nodevalues boolean false Set to TRUE to process the value as a comma separated list of node IDs

Return

boolean
