# PATCH /v1/{+name}

`PATCH /v1/{+name}`

Update a single unit kind.

## Path parameters

- `name` string, required

## Query parameters

- `requestId` string
- `updateMask` string
- `validateOnly` boolean

## Request body

- UnitKind — Definition of a Unit. Units belonging to the same UnitKind are managed together; for example they follow the same release model (blueprints, versions etc.) and are typically rolled out together.
  - `etag` string — Output only. An opaque value that uniquely identifies a version or generation of a resource. It can be used to confirm that the client and server agree on the ordering of a resource being written.
  - `createTime` string, google-datetime — Output only. The timestamp when the resource was created.
  - `defaultFlagRevisions` string[] — Optional. Default revisions of flags for this UnitKind. Newly created units will use the flag default_flag_revisions present at the time of creation.
  - `annotations` object — Optional. Annotations is an unstructured key-value map stored with a resource that may be set by external tools to store and retrieve arbitrary metadata. They are not queryable and should be preserved when modifying objects. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/annotations
  - `dependencies` Dependency[] — Optional. Immutable. List of other unit kinds that this release will depend on. Dependencies will be automatically provisioned if not found. Maximum 10.
    - `unitKind` string — Required. Immutable. The unit kind of the dependency.
    - `alias` string — Required. An alias for the dependency. Used for input variable mapping.
  - `inputVariableMappings` VariableMapping[] — Optional. List of inputVariables for this release that will either be retrieved from a dependency's outputVariables, or will be passed on to a dependency's inputVariables. Maximum 100.
    - `from` FromMapping — Output variables whose values will be passed on to dependencies
      - `dependency` string — Required. Alias of the dependency that the outputVariable will pass its value to
      - `outputVariable` string — Required. Name of the outputVariable on the dependency
    - `to` ToMapping — Input variables whose values will be passed on to dependencies
      - `ignoreForLookup` boolean — Optional. Tells App Lifecycle Manager if this mapping should be used during lookup or not
      - `dependency` string — Required. Alias of the dependency that the inputVariable will pass its value to
      - `inputVariable` string — Required. Name of the inputVariable on the dependency
    - `variable` string — Required. name of the variable
  - `name` string — Identifier. The resource name (full URI of the resource) following the standard naming scheme: "projects/{project}/locations/{location}/unitKinds/{unitKind}"
  - `boundaryType` 'BOUNDARY_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED' | 'BOUNDARY_TYPE_TENANT_PROJECT' | 'BOUNDARY_TYPE_MANAGED_PROJECT' — Optional. Output only. BoundaryType describes the type of boundary the Unit Kind represents.
  - `saas` string — Required. Immutable. A reference to the Saas that defines the product (managed service) that the producer wants to manage with App Lifecycle Manager. Part of the App Lifecycle Manager common data model. Immutable once set.
  - `outputVariableMappings` VariableMapping[] — Optional. List of outputVariables for this unit kind will be passed to this unit's outputVariables. Maximum 100.
    - `from` FromMapping — Output variables whose values will be passed on to dependencies
      - `dependency` string — Required. Alias of the dependency that the outputVariable will pass its value to
      - `outputVariable` string — Required. Name of the outputVariable on the dependency
    - `to` ToMapping — Input variables whose values will be passed on to dependencies
      - `ignoreForLookup` boolean — Optional. Tells App Lifecycle Manager if this mapping should be used during lookup or not
      - `dependency` string — Required. Alias of the dependency that the inputVariable will pass its value to
      - `inputVariable` string — Required. Name of the inputVariable on the dependency
    - `variable` string — Required. name of the variable
  - `defaultRelease` string — Optional. A reference to the Release object to use as default for creating new units of this UnitKind (optional). If not specified, a new unit must explicitly reference which release to use for its creation.
  - `labels` object — Optional. The labels on the resource, which can be used for categorization. similar to Kubernetes resource labels.
  - `uid` string — Output only. The unique identifier of the resource. UID is unique in the time and space for this resource within the scope of the service. It is typically generated by the server on successful creation of a resource and must not be changed. UID is used to uniquely identify resources with resource name reuses. This should be a UUID4.
  - `updateTime` string, google-datetime — Output only. The timestamp when the resource was last updated. Any change to the resource made by users must refresh this value. Changes to a resource made by the service should refresh this value.
