  • Matter ID (required) — Numeric ID of the matter to update.
  • Update Fields — Optionally set Description, Status (Pending, Open, or Closed), and/or Close Date. Fields left blank are omitted from the request.

The operation runs once per input item. If no update fields are supplied, it still sends an empty update body. With Continue On Fail enabled, errors are returned as an item containing an error message.
