Tool

Update an idea

Change an idea's title, body, group, platforms, due date, assignee or tags. Read it with get_idea first and pass its version; if someone changed it since, the call fails with version_conflict and the current idea, so re-read and apply the change again. Only the user's confirmed changes should be written.
