I save data like this and i want to change the name
what should be written in pathToField after chats/chatroom/Name/
You get Firestore to generate an autoID when you create the message:
Note there is no entry after messages/
Then you can get messages using a query, which will provide you with the message ID so that you can then edit the fields within it.

Is that must to create sub-collection(messages) to make field editable??
this is my firestore table structure with no sub collection. just collection(chats) and doc(chatroom)...........but i want to edit the field called Name part without Document Id, does it possible??
In your case, your messageId is chatroom. You have not gone far enough down the chain to create a specific message ID, e.g. like msg1
chats > chatroom > fields
possibly needs to be
chats > chatroom > msg1 > fields
Finally i got why the problem happened, kodular has not PATCH block so there must be some adjustment on the Web header to use POST
