Partially updates a single attribute definition. Only the fields you include are changed.

Updatable fields

Field	Applies to	Notes
`label`	All types
`isRequired`	All types
`isArchived`	All types	Archived attributes are hidden in the UI but data is retained
`options`	`select`, `multiselect`, `status`	Full replacement — see below
`relatedObjectLabel`	`relation`	Display label shown in the UI for the linked object
`currencyDisplay`	`currency`	`code`, `name`, or `symbol`
`currencyDecimal`	`currency`	Show decimal places
`currencyGrouping`	`currency`	Use thousands separator

Immutable fields

Field	Reason
`type`	Changing type would corrupt existing record data
`key`	Used as the stable identifier in all record values
`relatedObjectSlug`	Changing the target would orphan existing linked records
`currency`	Changing the currency code would make stored amounts misleading

Updating options (`select` / `multiselect` / `status`)

When you send options, the list fully replaces the current options:

Include id on existing options you want to keep — existing record values are preserved.
Omit id for new options — the server assigns a new ID.
Exclude an option entirely to delete it — existing records that held that value will have the value cleared.

{
  "options": [
    { "id": 12, "value": "Active",   "color": "success" },
    { "id": 13, "value": "On Hold",  "color": "warning" },
    {           "value": "Churned",  "color": "gray"    }
  ]
}

Standard attributes (e.g. first_name, emails on people) cannot be updated and return 400.
