# Update artifact metadata

`PUT /groups/{groupId}/artifacts/{artifactId}/meta`

Updates the editable parts of the artifact's metadata.  Not all metadata fields can
be updated.  For example, `createdOn` and `createdBy` are both read-only properties.

This operation can fail for the following reasons:

* No artifact with the `artifactId` exists (HTTP error `404`)
* A server error occurred (HTTP error `500`)

## Request body

- EditableMetaData
  - `name` string
  - `description` string
  - `labels` string[]
  - `properties` Properties — User-defined name-value pairs. Name and value must be strings.

## Response `204`

The artifact's metadata was updated.

## Other responses

- `401` — Common response for all operations that can return a `401` error indicating authentication is required.
- `403` — Common response for all operations that can return a `403` error indicating the user is authenticated but not authorized.
- `404` — Common response for all operations that can return a `404` error.
