Modify a content type

PATCH https://manage.kontent.ai/v2/projects/:environment_id/types/:type_identifier

Modify how existing content types and their elements are set up.

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

• addInto operation to add new objects. For example, add an element or content group to the content type, or add an option to a multiple choice element.
• move operation to reorder objects. For example, change the position of an element or content group within the content type, or the position of a multiple choice element option.
• remove operation to delete objects. For example, delete an element or content group from the content type, 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 content type's elements or content groups, you need to specify a path to the element or content group using a {path_reference}. Path references can use internal IDs, codenames, or external IDs.

• id:5eb3d03e-c69d-4e93-b4cc-76f453271386
• 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.
