Update test

Changed on

<Info>This API is in beta. Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production.</Info>

Changes a test's name, goal or role. Send only the fields you want to change. Send role as null to clear it, so Base44 picks a role from the test's name or goal again.

Each edit raises the test's revision by 1. You can't edit a test while it has a run going, so cancel the run or wait for it to end first.

This is limited to 300 requests per minute per caller for each app. Some workspaces have a different limit.

<Note>This endpoint accepts a personal API key belonging to a user with editor access to the app. Read-only keys and workspace API keys are refused.</Note>
