RETURN NEW is not working with UPDATE in arangodb

Question

I am trying to get all the documents updates in the aql but it doesn't seem to be working.

test -> {value:0}

FOR record in test
    UPDATE record with {value:1} in test 
      RETURN NEW

I get [1501] syntax error, unexpected RETURN declaration near 'RETURN NEW' at position 3:5 (while parsing)

Arangodb version 2.5.5

Answer 1

In 2.5 you need to assign NEW to a temporary variable, eg

UPDATE ... LET x = NEW RETURN x

The simplified syntax is only available in 2.6.
