# Update effective dates on a practitioner-group association

`PUT /practitioners/{certifyPractitionerId}/groups/{certifyGroupId}/effective-date`

Updates the effective start date and/or termination date for a practitioner's association with a specific group, optionally cascading the date change to the practitioner's network participation records within that group. Use this when the dates on an existing practitioner-group association need to be corrected or extended; the `certifyPractitionerId` and `certifyGroupId` path parameters identify the association. The practitioner-group association must already exist, and if `terminationDate` is provided, it must be after `effectiveDate`. Cascading is not purely controlled by `cascadeToNetworkParticipation`: if `networkId` is supplied, the network-scoped cascade always happens regardless of the flag; without `networkId`, cascade only happens when `cascadeToNetworkParticipation` is `true`. Past dates are allowed for both `effectiveDate` and `terminationDate`.
