decrementAttributeValue

This call is deprecated. This call has known functionality and performance issues. If you need to store custom objects, we recommend to take a look at Builder (Erply Cloud), which lets you define a database schema with multiple tables and referential integrity, and which produces a REST API for reading and writing data.

Decrement attribute value.

This API call is for editing custom objects. Erply has an object storage where you can store custom data for plug-ins, integrations etc.

For other object storage functions, see getObjects, saveObject, deleteObject (which allow to manipulate whole objects), and incrementAttributeValue, decrementAttributeValue — which provide a way to atomically increment or decrement one numeric field of a specific object (eg. to implement a counter).
