PATCH /api/v1/Document/{id}

Update a DocumentEntity with changes, as described in a JSON Patch or a JSON Merge Patch document.

See RFC6902 and RFC 7396. Update the Department field to "foo" can be done either as a JSON PATCH:


[ { "op": "replace", "path": "/Department", "value": "foo" } ]

or as a JSON MERGE PATCH, which describes the change directly:


{ "Department": "foo" }

JSON PATCH supports operations 'add', 'replace', 'remove' and 'test'. The path is case insensitive, and the leading slash is optional, so the paths "/department", "Department" and "department" are all equivalent.

Calls the {SuperOffice.CRM.Services.IDocumentAgent} service SaveDocumentEntity.

Query String Parameters
