Restrictions

Usage

  • Partial update — only the provided fields are changed, but at least one of name or color must be provided.
  • The name must remain unique within the account (case-insensitive, after trimming whitespace).
  • This permission is admin-only by default; custom roles must be granted it explicitly.

Unique ID for this request. Mirrored in the Flashcat-Request-Id response header. Include it when reporting issues.

Example:
