Update idea

PATCH /v1/ideas/:id scope write

Changes title, note, group (moves the card) or tags; anything not sent stays as it is.

Parameters

Name In Description
id path Idea id (starts with ide_).
Idempotency-Key header Idempotency key (1 to 255 visible characters, for example a UUID).

The key is scoped per workspace and per route. See Retry a request safely.
