updateOptionValue
mutation · in the family Option value
What it does
Edit one value inside an option group (like “Large” or “Red”) — change its details.
Edit a OptionValue's mutable attributes. Requires the unrestricted capability + the record's CURRENT revision. The parent-group ref is NOT editable here.
Careful
Edits take effect immediately and write a new revision; the old revision stays in history.
Who may call it
Capability area: Catalog editing — Changing what you sell — the details of styles, products, variants and their identifiers.

Arguments
| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
id | ID ID! | yes | The id of the record. |

Returns
OptionValue OptionValue! — An option value — one member of an OptionGroup pick-source (a size cell, a color name), ORDERED via ordinal (lower = earlier in the pick list; ties break by id). Parent = its OptionGroup (NOT the family root — the first non-group-parented catalog construct, the Zone shape). Consumed by the spine (scheme tiers pick values into Product/Variant cells).

Errors this call can answer
VALIDATION/INVALID— Something in the request is not valid. (VALIDATION)AUTHN/REQUIRED— Sign in to do this. (AUTHN)AUTHZ/FORBIDDEN— Your role does not allow this action. (AUTHZ)RATE_LIMIT/THROTTLED— Too many requests in a short time. (RATE_LIMIT)NOT_FOUND/*— That record could not be found. (NOT_FOUND)CONFLICT/*— The record’s state, or a change made in the meantime, does not allow this; the codes are on the CONFLICT page.

Dry run
Add dryRun: true to the request envelope (extensions.at) to rehearse this call: every check runs, the write is rehearsed against the current records and nothing is stored; the answer is the refusal a real call would give, or the record it would create. Every response to a rehearsal carries dryRun: true, so a rehearsed record is never mistaken for a saved one.
