# Update a job

`PATCH /v1/jobs/{jobId}`

Updates the supplied fallback name or internal note for a job. Omitted fields are preserved, and both fields are write-only because the current job summary RPC does not return them. An empty PATCH body is rejected.

## Path parameters

- `jobId` string, required — a job ID. Accepts the canonical prefixed compact UUID, a prefixed dashed UUID, a bare dashed UUID, or a bare compact UUID; input is case-insensitive.

## Request body

- JobPatch
  - `fallback_name` string, nullable — Candidate-facing fallback job name, shown when no job posting name is linked to the candidate's application (candidate portal, sourcing links, and job-name tokens). Set to null to fall back to the internal job name.
  - `internal_note` string, nullable — Free-form internal note about the job; never shown to candidates.
