# Update a question set

PUT https://api.runtype.com/v1/question-sets/{id}
Content-Type: application/json

Update the name or description, and append a new draft version when `questions`, `inputMapping` or `model` is present. Fields left out of a new version carry over from the latest version. No existing version is changed, and the slug is fixed.

Reference: https://docs.runtype.com/api-reference/runtype-api/question-sets/update-a-question-set

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — API key or Clerk session token

## Servers

- `https://api.runtype.com` (Production, default)
- `https://api.runtype-staging.com` (Staging)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `id` (string, required)

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `description` (string, optional, nullable)
- `inputMapping` (map from string to string, optional, nullable)
- `model` (string, optional, nullable)
- `name` (string, optional)
- `questions` (map from string to any, optional) — Judgment questions keyed by question id. Each is `{ type: "boolean" | "choice" | "score", instructions, criteria }`. The id is never sent to the model, so instructions and criteria carry the meaning.

## Response

### 200

Updated

- `questionSet` (QuestionSet, required)
- `version` (V1QuestionSetsIdPutResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaVersion, required, nullable) — The new draft version, or null for a metadata-only update.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Invalid request

- `error` (string, required)
- `details` (list of QuestionSetErrorDetailsItems, optional)
- `code` (string, optional) — Stable code, e.g. QUESTION_SET_INVALID or QUESTION_SET_UNRESOLVED.

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized

- `error` (string, required)
- `details` (list of ErrorDetailsItems, optional)

### 403 Forbidden Error

Insufficient permissions, or no organization context

- `error` (string, required)
- `details` (list of ErrorDetailsItems, optional)

### 404 Not Found Error

Not found

- `error` (string, required)
- `details` (list of QuestionSetErrorDetailsItems, optional)
- `code` (string, optional) — Stable code, e.g. QUESTION_SET_INVALID or QUESTION_SET_UNRESOLVED.

### 409 Conflict Error

Conflict

- `error` (string, required)
- `details` (list of QuestionSetErrorDetailsItems, optional)
- `code` (string, optional) — Stable code, e.g. QUESTION_SET_INVALID or QUESTION_SET_UNRESOLVED.

## Types

### QuestionSet

- `createdAt` (string, required)
- `createdByUserId` (string, required, nullable)
- `currentVersionId` (string, required, nullable) — The published version executions resolve when they name no version; null until a publish.
- `description` (string, required, nullable)
- `id` (string, required)
- `name` (string, required)
- `organizationId` (string, required)
- `slug` (string, required)
- `updatedAt` (string, required)
- `lastModifiedSource` (string, optional, nullable) — The surface that last wrote the set; `sdk` or `terraform` means it is managed by code through ensure.

### V1QuestionSetsIdPutResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaVersion

The new draft version, or null for a metadata-only update.

- `createdAt` (string, required)
- `createdByUserId` (string, required, nullable)
- `currentCalibrationId` (string, required, nullable)
- `id` (string, required)
- `inputMapping` (map from string to string, required, nullable)
- `model` (string, required, nullable) — Requested judgment model id; null uses the platform default.
- `publishedAt` (string, required, nullable) — Set once, at the first publish; a published version never changes.
- `questionSetId` (string, required)
- `questions` (map from string to any, required) — Judgment questions keyed by question id. Each is `{ type: "boolean" | "choice" | "score", instructions, criteria }`. The id is never sent to the model, so instructions and criteria carry the meaning.
- `versionNumber` (integer, required)

### QuestionSetErrorDetailsItems

- `message` (string, required)
- `code` (string, optional) — Stable Runtype validation code (e.g. MISSING_REQUIRED_FIELD, INVALID_ENUM).
- `path` (string, optional) — Dotted JSON path to the offending field.
- `suggestion` (string, optional) — Actionable hint (allowed values, accepted range, …).

### ErrorDetailsItems

- `message` (string, required)
- `code` (string, optional) — Stable Runtype validation code (e.g. MISSING_REQUIRED_FIELD, INVALID_ENUM).
- `path` (string, optional) — Dotted JSON path to the offending field.
- `suggestion` (string, optional) — Actionable hint (allowed values, accepted range, …).
