Force Update node-fields while they exist. [#2469683]

Hi.
I would very much know if there is an option to force update migrate-fields also when the title and regular node fields are not updated. And then only update the fields which are altered.
For instance the node title stays the same, but say a location is altered by a specific migrate-group, then I would very much only alter the fields which are touched by the migration. Is this possible please? Right now Migrate_d2d update does not update nodes which are already updated by another migrate-group so the fields of this other group are not updated. I do not mean altered in the source. This stays also the same.

Thanks for looking at this in advance,
greetings, Martijn

Hi,
I think I need something that drush can (I am not able to use drush). See https://www.drupal.org/node/1561820

--update
In addition to processing unimported items from the source, update previously-imported items with new data

I need to alter subdata like terms when only these are enabled for import while keeping all other stuff the same, because in the other migrate group these fields are kept blank.

Greetings, Martijn

On the migration dashboard, under OPTIONS at the bottom, you can check "Update" to get the same effect as the drush --update option - note that this will reimport all previously-imported content from scratch, entirely replacing it with the source data. It's not exactly clear to me what you're asking, but I think that's not it - I think you're asking for https://www.drupal.org/node/1117454. That would require writing new migration classes using the DESTINATION system-of-record, you can't do this through the UI.
