# Update datasource credentials

`PUT /datasources/{id}`

Updates the Authentication credential fields for a datasource as defined in the provider schema. Re-runs the connectivity test before saving. If any linked Digitize services cannot be notified, the datasource is still updated and the failures are listed in propagation_errors.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Request body

- GithubComProjectAiServicesAiServicesInternalPkgCatalogApiserverModelsUpdateDatasourceRequest
  - `params` object, required — Params holds the credential fields to update. Only fields in the provider's schema whose ui:section is "Authentication" may be changed; structural fields are filtered out server-side. Note: binding:"required" only prevents null/missing — an empty map is rejected in the service layer, which also validates that at least one updatable field is present.

## Response `200`

  - `name` string
  - `propagation_errors` GithubComProjectAiServicesAiServicesInternalPkgCatalogApiserverModelsPropagationError[] — PropagationErrors lists any downstream Digitize propagation failures. Omitted when all propagations succeeded.
    - `application_id` string — ApplicationID is the UUID of the application whose Digitize service could not be updated.
    - `application_name` string — ApplicationName is the display name of that application, for UI rendering.
    - `error` string — Error is the human-readable reason the propagation failed.
  - `provider` string
  - `status` string
  - `type` string
  - `updated_at` string
