Rename, archive or reactivate an option
Scopecustom-fields:writeUpdates only the properties present in the body. Invoices already saved keep the text they were saved with: renaming or archiving an option never changes an invoice.
- Rename:
valuereplaces the text. If another option of the field in the same scope — the same customer, or the common options for a common one — is equivalent to the new text (ignoring case, accents and repeated spaces), the answer is409withCUSTOM_FIELD_OPTION_DUPLICATEand nothing changes. - Archive or reactivate:
is_archived. Options are never deleted.
Keys are prefixed beel_sk_, and each one carries the scopes it was created with: a key
short of the scope an operation needs is answered 403. The scope an operation requires
is shown next to its title, and the full catalogue lives in the Scopes reference.
Keys are created from the BeeL dashboard. They are secret credentials: do not share them or commit them to source control.
In: header
Path Parameters
Unique identifier (UUID) of the company the operation acts on — its identifier, not its NIF. It is the only source of context: the account that owns it is derived from it, and the BeeL-Active-Company header plays no part. A company you do not reach answers 403, and so does a company that does not exist, so the existence of a company in another account is never disclosed.
uuidKey of the custom field: lowercase letters, digits and _, up to 64 characters. A key outside that format answers 422.
^[a-z0-9_]{1,64}$1 <= length <= 64Unique identifier of the option.
uuidHeader Parameters
Idempotency key to prevent duplicates in sensitive operations.
- Any unique client-generated string (e.g. an order id). A UUID also works but is not required
- Allowed characters: letters, digits,
_and-(max 255 chars) - Retrying with the same key replays the first response when it was a success (2xx) or a
server error (5xx): same status and body, plus the header
Idempotency-Replay: true. After a 5xx, check whether the operation took effect before retrying with a new key - A 4xx is not stored: the key is released, so the corrected request can reuse it
- Stored responses expire 24 hours after processing
The key is scoped per user and environment, and bound to the request body, so retrying after a network timeout replays the stored response instead of repeating the operation.
| Status | Code | When |
|---|---|---|
400 | INVALID_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY | The key breaks the format rules above. |
409 | IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_PROCESSING | The first request is still in flight. Wait for the Retry-After seconds (2) and retry with the same key. |
409 | IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_MISMATCH | The key was already used with a different body. Use a new key. |
^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$length <= 255New text of the option. Leading and trailing spaces are removed. Invoices already saved keep the text they were saved with.
1 <= length <= 255true archives the option, false reactivates it.
