*Short version*: 
   How can I update only select fields in a record (as opposed to 
specifying all the fields, which I am currently required to do).

*Longer version*:
  I am in process of creating a special-purpose front-end for spreadsheets.
  Through this front-end, I am displaying records to the user, and he can 
modify some of the fields and update the record.
  When I am updating a record, I have to specify all the record's fields, 
otherwise, missing fields are wiped out - This seems to be the behavior of 
the API.
  This is a problem since some of the fields are formulas, and the user is 
interested in seeing the values in my interface so I'm not fetching the 
formulas, so when I'm saving the record, I am saving the value instead of 
the formula (no changes were made to this field) and this wipes out the 
formula.

Any way I can update only a subset of the fields in a record?
