You can increment or decrement a numeric field value as shown in the following example. An increment operation increases or decreases the current value of a field by the given amount.

To increment a numeric field value, use a POSITIVE number. To decrement a numeric field value, use a NEGATIVE number.

The Increment operation is only available for numeric fields and will only work if the Field has either been declared during a Add operation or has been updated with a Update operation. If the Field doesn’t exist, the Increment operation will fail.
