HTTP request
PATCH /security/caseManagement/cases/{caseId}/tasks/{taskId}
Request body
In the request body, supply only the values for properties to update. Existing properties that aren't included in the request body maintain their previous values or are recalculated based on changes to other property values.
The following table specifies the properties that can be updated.
Supply a JSON representation of the resource. For polymorphic resources, include @odata.type to identify the derived type.
You can update all client-managed task properties. The id, createdBy, createdDateTime, lastModifiedBy, and lastModifiedDateTime properties are server managed and can't be updated.
Response
If successful, this method returns a 204 No Content response code.
