Update Assignee, Status, Priority, Title or Description of a Case

Update assignee, status, priority, title, or description on an existing case.

What this endpoint does

Modifies one or more properties of an existing case identified by its TaskIdentity ID (formatted as task:<UUID>, obtainable from the Case Search endpoint). At least one field besides the ID must be specified — providing only the ID returns an error. Only the fields included in the request are changed; omitted fields remain unchanged. Each update is recorded as a tracked change in the case's activity log, visible through the Lookup Many endpoint's log panel. To unassign a case, pass an empty string for the assignee field.

Response data

Returns a status object confirming the update was applied. The response does not echo the updated case data — use the Lookup Many endpoint with the case ID to verify the changes took effect and to see the corresponding log entry recording what was modified.
