# Changing the mapped parent action

## Learn how to use the Swap Field Mapping feature in APIANT to quickly replace the source action for mapped fields — update all mappings at once without manual remapping, ensuring efficient automation adjustments.

Consider these field mappings, where the "get contact" action emits contact information used for multiple field mappings:

Let's say that instead of using the client information from the "get contact" action, we want to use a different action that will emit the same output fields but finds the contact in a different manner.

To do that, click the swap arrow icon next to one of the mapped fields:

The automation diagram will appear, with possible parent actions enabled. Click a new parent action to select it:

The field mappings are adjusted so that the output fields previously mapped from "get client" are now mapped from the selected parent action:

**Note: The editor does not validate that the newly selected parent action actually emits the same output fields.**
