IT Glue ExtendedInstall

Summary

Update an existing IT Glue flexible asset type by ID, changing its name, description, icon, and enabled flag via a JSON:API PATCH to flexible_asset_types/{id}.

Inputs

• Flexible Asset Type ID (required) — ID of the flexible asset type to update. The operation throws an error if it is empty.
• Name (required) — The flexible asset type name. Always sent.
• Description — Description of the type. Omitted from the request if left empty, so an empty value does not clear the existing description.
• Icon — Icon name for the type. Omitted from the request if left empty.
• Enabled — Whether the type is enabled. Defaults to true and is always sent, so an update re-enables a disabled type unless you set it to false.

Output shape

A single item holding the updated flexible asset type. Attributes are flattened to camelCase keys (for example name, description, icon, enabled), alongside id and type. A relationships object is included if the API returns one.

If IT Glue returns no data, the node throws an error. API errors (401, 403, 429 and others) surface as node errors. 429 responses are retried up to 3 times. With Continue On Fail, the output is {error: message}.

Examples

Example 1: Rename a flexible asset type and change its icon

Flexible Asset Type ID = 12345, Name = 'Network Diagram', Icon = 'sitemap', Enabled = true

Example 2: Disable a flexible asset type that is no longer used

Flexible Asset Type ID = 12345, Name = current type name, Enabled = false
