Updating Attributes of Process Material
To update the attributes of an existing Process Material object or its subtype, you must first check out the object.
If you perform Undo Checkout on the Process Material object, the changes are rolled back. When you update the Process Material object, the version of the Process Material object will be iterated upon checking it in. You can specify the OID of any iteration/revision/view of the Process Material object or its subtype. You can update modeled and all other types of attributes, including IBAs such as enumerated lists.
To update an 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 an attribute, you can specify its value as null in the request.
If you do not specify an attribute in the request body, then the attribute retains its existing value.
