# Update artifact metadata

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

Updates the editable parts of the artifact's metadata.  Not all metadata fields can
be updated.  Note that only the properties included will be updated.  You can update
only the name by including only the `name` property in the payload of the request.
Properties that are allowed but not present will result in the artifact's metadata
not being changed.

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

- EditableArtifactMetaData
  - `name` string
  - `description` string
  - `labels` Labels — User-defined name-value pairs. Name and value must be strings.
  - `owner` string

## Response `204`

The artifact's metadata was updated.

## Other responses
