Authorizations
Authorization
string
header
required
Body
application/json
developerId
string
required
Developer ID of the style guide to update. Use 'default' to update the built-in Ditto Style Guide's enabled-by-default setting.
Minimum string length: 1
newDeveloperId
string
A new developer ID for this style guide. Must be unique among the workspace's style guides. Can be set alongside other field changes in the same update. Not supported for the built-in Ditto Style Guide.
Minimum string length: 1
name
string
New name for the style guide. If not provided, name remains unchanged.
Minimum string length: 1
description
string
New description for the style guide. If not provided, description remains unchanged.
Minimum string length: 1
enabledByDefault
boolean
Whether this style guide is enabled by default for all projects.
variantId
string | null
Developer ID of a variant to scope this style guide to — its rules then apply only to text in that variant. Currently, this is only supported for variants with a locale code. Pass null to clear the variant so the style guide applies to all text. If not provided, the variant is unchanged.
Scoping a style guide to a variant is how it's associated with a locale, because a locale in Ditto is a variant's locale code. Use GET /v2/variants to find the variant whose locale code matches the locale you want, rather than inferring it from the variant's name.
Minimum string length: 1
sections
object[]
Full replacement list of sections — the array you pass replaces all existing sections.
Each section's sectionId must be unique within the style guide, and the list must include at least one 'rules' section and one 'wordlist' section. Rules belonging to a removed section are automatically moved to the first remaining rules section.
