# EditDevicePeripheralInput

input type

Edit-input for a DevicePeripheral. Every field optional, at least ONE required; supplied fields REPLACE, omitted fields are preserved (no clearing semantic). peripheralType/model and the parent Device are IMMUTABLE at birth (swapped hardware = a new peripheral); a connection edit re-validates against the stored model’s supported set in the kit; status moves ONLY via the transition ops.

## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `caption` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | No further notes. |
| `connection` | [DevicePeripheralConnection](/types/DevicePeripheralConnection/) | no | One of the model’s supported modes (kit-gated). |
