Updating an item without getting it first

[kappa90]

Would it be possible to update an item without getting it first?

As far as I understand this is possible with the DynamoDB API, as long as you know the hash/range keys.

Thanks

What about something like that:
user.update(actions=[User.Requests.set(User.Requests + 1)])
Obviously i get "The provided expression refers to an attribute that does not exist in the item"
Any solution?

Hello, when trying to answer this question I ran into a bug, which is tracked in this issue now: #1247

I also tried updating an item without getting it first by using the low level api's update_item but ran into a bug this way as well. That issue is tracked here: #1249
