Summary

Renames an existing IT Glue configuration type by sending a JSON:API PATCH to configuration_types/{id} with the new name, and returns the updated record.

Inputs

  • Configuration Type ID (required) — ID of the configuration type to update. The operation throws an error if it is empty.
  • Name (required) — New name for the configuration type. Sent as the name attribute in the PATCH body.

Output shape

A single item holding the updated configuration type. Attribute keys are converted from kebab-case to camelCase (e.g. name), and the item also includes id and type (configuration_types), plus relationships if IT Glue returns them.

Throws if IT Glue returns no data. API errors (401, 403, 429 and others) are raised as node errors, and 429 responses are retried up to 3 times with backoff. With Continue On Fail enabled, a failed item yields {error: message} instead.

Examples

Example 1: Rename a configuration type from 'Laptop' to 'Workstation'.

Resource: Configuration Type, Operation: Update, Configuration Type ID: 12345, Name: Workstation

Example 2: Rename a type using an ID returned by an earlier Get Many step.

Configuration Type ID: {{ $json.id }}, Name: Network Device
