Response

The form fields have been updated

detailsstring

A text summary of the status of the request

request_idstring

result'partial_failure' | 'success' | 'failure'

If all the items in the batch request were successful, then the status will be a success. A partial_failure will occur if only a few of the items in the batch request succeeded. Failure is when none of the items in the batch succeed.

status200 | 400 | 500

HTTP status code for the request. The status code is 200 if the request was processed. This does not have anything to do with the result - the status code will be 200 even if part of the request failed. In the case of total failures such as malformed JSON, or document not found, this status will be other than 200.
