Update multiple attributes with the REST API

Use the PATCH method of the /attributes/bulk endpoint of the Collibra Core REST API to update multiple attributes.

curl -X PATCH 'https://<your_collibra_url>/rest/2.0/attributes/bulk' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '[
    {
        "id": "a30b2eee-76ba-48ec-818d-70038dcaaa15",
        "value": "Team Lead developer"
    },
    {
        "id": "0e06f395-337f-427a-b708-f73867cec3b7",
        "value": ["English", "French"]
    }
]'

You must provide two parameters in JSON format:

id: the universally unique identifier (UUID) of the attribute that you want to modify.
value: the new value of the attribute.

In this example, two employees have updates that need to be reflected in Collibra Platform:

Colette Davis has had a promotion and the Job Title attribute needs to be updated to Team Lead developer.
John Fisher's profile is not reflecting his knowledge of French and the Languages attribute needs to be updated to English and French.

Steps

Retrieve the IDs of the assets that contain the attributes:

curl -X GET 'https://<your_dgc_environment_url>/rest/2.0/assets?name=Colette%20Davis'

Retrieve the IDs of the attributes for each of the assets that need to be updated:

curl -X GET 'https://<your_dgc_environment_url>/rest/2.0/assets?assetId=196523f3-59cc-465b-b9a7-0fcf8dcd5578'

Use the IDs of the attributes and provide new values for each of them:

curl -X PATCH 'https://<your_collibra_url>/rest/2.0/attributes/bulk' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '[
    {
        "id": "a30b2eee-76ba-48ec-818d-70038dcaaa15",
        "value": "Team Lead developer"
    },
    {
        "id": "0e06f395-337f-427a-b708-f73867cec3b7",
        "value": ["English", "French"]
    }
]'

Use an array as the value for Multiple Selection attributes.
