Update Item - Plugixa Inventory

PUT /plugixa-inventory/v1/items/{id}

Change some or all of an item’s fields. PATCH does the same.

The user needs the plugixa_inventory_edit capability (administrators have every inventory capability). With Pro Roles and permissions enforcing, their role must also allow editing this item.

Note. Only the fields you send change: a field you leave out keeps its stored value, so PUT and PATCH behave the same. Sending a field with an empty value does clear it, and a blank name is refused.

Request

PUT https://your-site.example/wp-json/plugixa-inventory/v1/items/42

Path parameters

Request body

Content type: application/json

A reference you send unchanged (category_id, default_warehouse_id, unit_id, image_id, assigned_user_id) is not checked again, so an item keeps saving even if its category was trashed since. Changing weight or weight_unit alone recalculates weight_base from the other stored value.
