Abstract
Techniques for automatically updated a remote data source are provided. Multiple data type-field name pairs are received. The field names correspond to names of fields in a database system. In response to receiving first input, a text string is displayed on a screen of a client device that is remote relative to the database system. A portion of the text string is identified. A data type of the portion is determined. Based on the determined data type, a subset of the data type-field name pairs that share the data type is determined. One or more options, each corresponding to a field name in the subset, are displayed. In response to receiving second input that selects a particular option of the one or more options, the portion is stored in a particular field of a particular record of the database system, where the particular field corresponds to the particular option.
