Business Task – Patch Method API

As part of ActiveControl 9.40 release the PATCH API method capability has been added within the Business Task API. The PATCH method in an API is utilized for applying partial updates to a resource. Unlike the PUT method, which replaces the entire resource, PATCH allows for the modification of specific fields or attributes. Key aspects of the PATCH method include:

• Partial Updates: PATCH is designed to facilitate partial updates, enabling modifications to specific fields without altering the entire resource.
• Efficiency: By transmitting only the changes, PATCH requests are generally more efficient and consume less bandwidth compared to PUT requests.
• Flexibility: PATCH offers greater flexibility in updating resources, particularly when dealing with complex data structures or when only a few fields require modification.
