Update Artifacts

/api/v1/projects/{projectId}/artifacts

Description	Updates properties of the specified artifact(s). You can update any artifact property that is not read-only. Typically, Name, Description and any custom properties are not read-only and can be modified. You cannot, however, modify data that is always read-only, such as the date the artifact was last updated. Note: Reused artifacts may be read-only or contain read-only properties. Instance administrators can enable a setting that only allows you to modify certain properties, attachments or traces in a reused artifact.
URL Structure	[Blueprint_URI]/api/v1/projects/{ProjectId}/artifacts ProjectId: The ID of the project that contains the artifact with the attachment you want to retrieve.
Supported Methods	PATCH Note: You can override the PATCH method and use the POST method instead.
Request Body	The list of artifacts that you want to publish must be included in the body of the request. Read more about how to specify a list of artifacts in the request body.
