# Update task

PATCH https://api.modulards.com/api/public/v1/site-tasks/{siteTask}
Content-Type: application/json

Writes the given fields of one task; every field is optional (partial `PATCH`, no `PUT`). Path variable `siteTask` is the exact task id.

Body parameters:

* `title` (string, optional): max 255 characters.
* `date` (string, optional): `Y-m-d`.
* `content` (string, nullable, optional): HTML, purified server-side, max 2500 characters after tags are stripped.
* `time_spent` (number, nullable, optional): minutes spent, decimal allowed, minimum 0. Only ever a value the user gave.
* `is_pending` (boolean, optional).
* `files` (array, optional): up to 4 entries, `[{uuid, name}]`. **Omitting `files` leaves the attachments untouched; sending `files: []` removes every attachment.** When present, it replaces the full set in one call: new uploads (from the "Uploads" folder) are moved in, uuids already on this task are kept and reordered, everything else is deleted.

Answers **200** with the updated `site-tasks` document.

* **422**: an unknown or foreign `files.*.uuid`; a blank `title` when sent; an invalid `date`.
* **403**: a read-only token.
* **404**: a task of another organization, or a member without the `site-tasks.update` permission.
