Hello again,

[quote user="frank_ch"]Thanks for your example.[/quote]

No problem at all, Frank - I am happy to help!

It can update the broadcast data successfully as follows.

But how to only update the broadcast device name and keep other data fields the same?

I am glad to hear that you now are able to update the broadcast data as intended.
If you wish to keep certain fields of the advertising data the same you could just populate the those datafields of the update with the same content every time.
Since you are using SDK v16.0.0 you could just keep the advertising data structure static, and then change only the advertised device name in between each update.

Best regards,
Karl
