Update Line Attributes

3 min

Update a Line Attribute definition. Send only the fields you want to change.

PATCH /api/objects/LineAttribute/{id}

curl -X PATCH '{baseUrl}/api/objects/LineAttribute/a1Sa5000006aWvZEAU' \
  -H 'nue-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ "description": "Per-unit overage price for usage add-ons" }'

Activating a draft

Set "isActive": true to activate a draft attribute. This runs the same provisioning as an active create — Nue creates the mapped field across the five line objects, adds it to the Fields_Expose_to_Nue field sets, and runs a Business Objects sync. If provisioning fails, the update fails and the attribute stays a draft.

curl -X PATCH '{baseUrl}/api/objects/LineAttribute/a1Sa5000006aWvZEAU' \
  -H 'nue-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ "isActive": true }'

To deactivate, send "isActive": false. Deactivation does not remove the provisioned field; it only takes the attribute out of the rep-facing surfaces.

Changing the mapped field creates and exposes the new downstream field on activation; Nue does not delete the previously mapped field.
