Rename sizes and colors of a product

Each size or color keeps its id and takes the new label, and a color may take a new hex, on every variant of the product, deleted copies included. A color sent with only a hex keeps its current name. Orders, quotes and invoices show the new name; purchase order lines keep the name they were created with. A label another size, or another color, of the product already has returns 422 option_label_taken; an option the product does not use returns 422 option_unknown. Returns the product's live variants.

Errors
401The API key is missing or wrong (
unauthenticated).403You are not allowed to do this.
api_access_not_in_plan: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}. Other refusals use the error envelope, withunauthorizedoruser_is_not_authorized.- When
- Your role cannot update products. This 403 has a short body,
{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}, with nosuccessorerror. - Fix
- Ask a team owner to set Manage Products to "Users CAN view, update and create products".
404Not found.
page_not_found: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's.code: null, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.- When
- No live variant product with this id.
error.codeis null anderror.messagenames the record type. - Fix
- Check the product id.
422The request was refused and changed nothing.
validation_failedlists what to fix inerror.fields; other codes name a business rule, explained inerror.message. A few checks answer with only{"message": "..."}. An operation that calls another service (a payment provider, a carrier, an accounting app) can answerconnect_timeout("Please retry again") when that service does not answer in time: the change may or may not have happened there, so read the record back before you retry.- When
- The new name is taken by another option of the product (
error.codeoption_label_taken), or the option is not on the product (option_unknown). - Fix
- Pick another name; reload the product's options.
- When
optionsis empty or has more than 100 items, an item is missingtype,idor alabel, or ahexis not a hex color.error.codeisvalidation_failed.- Fix
- Fix each field named in
error.fields; its keys are field paths such ascontact.0.phone.
Notes
- Pricing rules match a line's saved size name. Renaming a size can change which product rules apply to new lines.
