Update list container

edit

Updates an existing list container.

You can use PUT or PATCH methods to update list containers, where:

PUT replaces the original container and deletes fields that are not specified.
PATCH updates the specified fields.

PUT <kibana host>:<port>/api/lists

PATCH <kibana host>:<port>/api/lists

Request body

A JSON object with:

The id of the list container you want to update.
The fields you want to modify.

If you call PUT to update a rule, all unspecified fields are deleted. You cannot modify the id and type fields.

For PATCH calls, any of the fields can be modified, whereas for PUT calls, some fields are required.

Name	Type	Description	Required (`PUT` calls)

`meta`	Object	Placeholder for metadata about the list container.	No
`name`	String	The list container’s name.	Yes
`_version`	String	Base-64 encoded value of `if_seq_no` and `if_primary_term` parameters, used to prevent update conflicts (see Optimistic concurrency control).	No
