Patch Codeset

/v1/codesets

Maintain Codeset

Example for calling:

http://server/v1/codesets
http://server/v1/codesets?owner=safransa

Request Body = {….} see request fields below

Allowed methods:

[PATCH]

API Controller: codeset

Description:

Update the single codeset with the details provided; all other details remain as is. The codeset must be present, as must the resources which are to be patched. Should the codeset ID be missing, API will attempt to identify the codeset using the name and owner. API will only allow to patch one codeset per call; it will accept to patch 0, 1 or many field types. Some details are not possible to patch. It is possible to add new field types if the given details do not already exist.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Notes
id	integer	Codeset ID
network_id	integer	Network ID	Mandatory when "SafranWebApiOwnerVerificationDuringApiCalls" is in use.
owner	string	Owner of the code set	Relates to "SafranWebApiOwnerVerificationDuringApiCalls" in "Application Settings".

Combining id with network_id is not supported
When "SafranWebApiOwnerVerificationDuringApiCalls" is in use, the Codeset retrieved can only be linked to projects owned by the same owner as the Codeset. Should the Codeset be linked to other projects, owned by others, the API will return failure.
Id will be used to identify the code set; if missing, the combination of name and owner will be used.
It is not possible to patch a field linked to another set.
- Unless only patching these fields:
  - visible
  - enabled
  - inherit_label
- In the case of the patch with more than one field, where one field is prevented from being patched, the whole operation will be prevented.

Request Fields:

Syntax of the fields are similar to what is found when using GET /v1/codesets with additional elements, see codesets.

When network_id is provided, and id is null or 0, API will attempt to get the id from the network identified with the given network_id.
When "SafranWebApiOwnerVerificationDuringApiCalls" as per "Application Settings" is in use, the Codeset must not exist in other networks.
