AI-generatedOverview
This node updates a folder object in the Directus system. It is useful for modifying folder details such as the folder's name or its parent folder, allowing users to organize and manage folder hierarchies dynamically. For example, you can rename a folder or move it under a different parent folder to restructure your file organization.
Use Case Examples
- Update the name of a folder by specifying its unique ID and the new name.
- Change the parent folder of an existing folder to nest it under a different folder.
