You can upsert Search Attributes to add or update Search Attributes from within Workflow code.

To upsert custom Search Attributes, use the [`upsert_search_attributes()`](https://python.temporal.io/temporalio.workflow.html#upsert_search_attributes) method to pass instances of `SearchAttributePair()` containing each of your keys and starting values to a parameter to a `TypedSearchAttributes()` object:
To upsert custom Search Attributes, use the [`upsert_search_attributes()`](https://python.temporal.io/temporalio.workflow.html#upsert_search_attributes) method to pass a list of `SearchAttributeUpdate()`.
These can be created via value_set calls on Search Attribute keys:

```python
workflow.upsert_search_attributes(TypedSearchAttributes([
SearchAttributePair(customer_id_key, "customer_2")
]))
workflow.upsert_search_attributes([
customer_id_key.value_set("customer_2")
])
```

To remove a Search Attribute that was previously set, use `value_unset call` on the Search Attribute key.

```python
workflow.upsert_search_attributes(TypedSearchAttributes([
SearchAttributePair(customer_id_key, [])
]))
workflow.upsert_search_attributes([
customer_id_key.value_unset()
])
