The environment is immutable, and so it can't be modified. But we can create a modified environment and then run actions using it.
To do so, we can make use of the following methods:

- env.with_context(dictionary) replaces the context with a new one.
- env.with_context(key=value,...) modifies the current context setting values for some of its keys.
Additionally, we have the env.ref() function, taking a string with an external identifier and returning a record for it, as shown here: ...
