Modify a content type snippet

PATCH https://manage.kontent.ai/v2/projects/:environment_id/snippets/:snippet_identifier

Modify how existing content type snippets and their elements are set up.

You can modify the content type snippets and their element configuration using the following operations:

• addInto operation to add new objects. For example, add an element to the content type snippet, or add a multiple choice element option.
• move operation to reorder objects. For example, change the position of an element within the content type snippet or the position of a multiple choice element option.
• remove operation to delete objects. For example, delete an element from the content type snippet, or delete a specific multiple choice element option.
• replace operation to update values. For example, replace the value of a specific object property such as a codename.

To apply the operations on the snippet's elements, you need to specify a path to the element or its property using a {path_reference}. Path references can use internal IDs, codenames, or external IDs.

• id:5eb3d03e-c69d-4e93-b4cc-76f453271386
• codename:snippet_codename__my_text_element
• external_id:id_from_external_source – Special characters such as slashes (/) need to be escaped. For example, to reference an object using its external ID of my/value, you use a path reference of external_id:my\\/value.
