Usage info

Update a view by passing a new view definition object along with the view_id returned in views.open or the external_id. See the modals documentation to learn more about updating views and avoiding race conditions with the hash argument.

Preserving input entry

Data entered or selected in input blocks can be preserved while updating views. The new view object that you use with views.update should contain the same input blocks and elements with identical block_id and action_id values.

Response

If you pass a valid view object along with a view_id or external_id, you'll receive a success response with the updated payload.
