Update Project

PUT PATCH /public/action/projects/update

Updates an existing project, identified by id in the request body. Use PATCH to change a few fields (partial merge) or PUT to replace the whole record.

Authentication: X-API-KEY header (see Authentication).

PUT is a full replace

With PUT, fields you omit are overwritten. Fetch the current project with Search Projects first, modify it, then PUT the complete object back. For a few fields, use PATCH instead. id is required for both; accountId is forced to your workspace.

Field	Type	Description
id	string	Required. Id of the project to update.
