Updating the Common Attributes of Department Data
You can update the common attributes Category, SupplyChain, and Location of single or multiple Department Data objects by providing the OIDs of the existing objects in the body of the request. You can specify the OID of any iteration/revision/view of the Department Data object or its subtype in the body of the request. You can choose to update either all or any of the three common attributes of a Department Data object. To update its common attributes, you must have Modify permissions to the Department Data object or its subtype.
To update a common attribute, you must specify the value with its valid internal name. If a constraint is applied to the attribute, you must specify the internal name of the value specified in the constraint.
If you want to clear the value of a common attribute, you can specify its value as null in the request.
If you do not specify a common attribute in the request body, then the attribute retains its existing value.
* 
You cannot update the common attributes of a Department Data object, if the specified object is checked out.
If two or more Department Data objects belong to the same Plant Data and are of the same type, then their common attribute values must be different.
If you specify an invalid object or an object other than a Department Data object or its subtype (for example, a Part object), then the request fails and returns an error.
You cannot update the common attributes Name and Number.
