Parse -getObjectInBackgroundWithId not saving on the database - ios

Question

I have a code snippet that will update information in the Parse database. I set up an action so that when the information is saved, it gets updated in the background. The function is being executed, but it's not saving anything on the database. its going through the function, but no changes are being saved. The changed values are inside a text field and a switch.
- (IBAction)save:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"classnameinsave %#", self.productTitleField.text);
PFQuery *query = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:self.className];
[query getObjectInBackgroundWithId:self.productId block:^(PFObject *object, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"inside getObjectsInBackgroundWithId function");
NSLog(#"priceinsave %#", object[#"price"]);
object[#"title"] = self.productTitleField.text;
object[#"price"] = self.priceField;
object[#"quantity"] = self.quantityField;
object[#"show"] = self.show;
[object saveInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
if(succeeded){
NSLog(#"Succeeded in Saving");
}else if(error){
NSLog(#"Error with saving changes %#", error);
}
}];
}];
}

Most likely this happened because the PFObject you're looking for doesn't even exist! You forgot to add the if statement for verifying if the object exists. Also, I understand you want to make it as dynamic as possible by having the class name based on a UILabel, but please don't do this, this doesn't make sense at all. Replace your code with this:
PFQuery *query = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:#"ClassName"];
[query getObjectInBackgroundWithId:self.productId block:^(PFObject *object, NSError *error) {
if(object){
//Do everything here :)
}else{
//Display an UIAlertView to the user?
NSLog(error);
}
}];
Note: You should add the if statement, however it's not necessary.
