Based on selected object in the picklist all the field values are displyed in another selectlist . when we select a field in the select list  i want to set a value to that field .i set the value to that field by using put method in dynamic apex but i dont know how to save /update the value in object  when I use update /insert command exception thrown

 if(selobject!=null && getfieldnames!=null){
            SObjectType objToken = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(selobject);      
            DescribeSObjectResult objDef = objToken.getDescribe();                    
            Map<String, SObjectField> fieldmap = objDef.fields.getMap();
            
            SObjectField fieldToken = fieldmap.get(getfieldnames);
            DescribeFieldResult selectedField = fieldToken.getDescribe();
            sName=string.valueOf(selectedfield);
             string squery=' select ' + fieldtoken + ' from ' + objtoken + ' limit 1 ';
            sobject s=Database.query(squery);
            string sName1=string.valueof(fieldtoken);

Hi,

you are trying to insert an existing record with the same id.

Replace the insert with update.
