Update open extension

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Update an open extension (openTypeExtension object) with the properties in the request body:

• If a property in the request body matches the name of an existing property in the extension, the data in the extension is updated.
• Otherwise that property and its data are added to the extension.

The data in an extension can be primitive types, or arrays of primitive types.

See the table in the Permissions section for the list of resources that support open extensions.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Depending on the resource that the extension was created in and the permission type (delegated or application) requested, the permission specified in the following table is the least privileged required to call this API. To learn more, including taking caution before choosing more privileged permissions, search for the following permissions in Permissions.

Supported resource	Delegated (work or school account)	Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Application
device	Directory.AccessAsUser.All	Not supported	Device.ReadWrite.All
event	Calendars.ReadWrite	Calendars.ReadWrite	Calendars.ReadWrite
group	Group.ReadWrite.All	Not supported	Group.ReadWrite.All
group event	Group.ReadWrite.All	Not supported	Not supported
group post	Group.ReadWrite.All	Not supported	Group.ReadWrite.All
message	Mail.ReadWrite	Mail.ReadWrite	Mail.ReadWrite
organization	Organization.ReadWrite.All	Not supported	Organization.ReadWrite.All
personal contact	Contacts.ReadWrite	Contacts.ReadWrite	Contacts.ReadWrite
todoTask	Tasks.ReadWrite	Tasks.ReadWrite	Tasks.ReadWrite.All
todoTaskList	Tasks.ReadWrite	Tasks.ReadWrite	Tasks.ReadWrite.All
user	User.ReadWrite	User.ReadWrite	User.ReadWrite.All

HTTP request

In the request, identify the resource instance, use the extensions navigation property of that instance to identify the extension, and do a PATCH on that extension instance.

PATCH /devices/{Id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /users/{id|userPrincipalName}/events/{id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /groups/{id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /groups/{id}/events/{id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /groups/{id}/threads/{id}/posts/{id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /users/{id|userPrincipalName}/messages/{id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /organization/{Id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /users/{id|userPrincipalName}/contacts/{id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /users/{id|userPrincipalName}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /users/me/todo/lists/{todoTaskListId}/tasks/{taskId}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /users/me/todo/lists/{todoTaskListId}/extensions/{extensionId}

Note: The above syntax shows some common ways to identify a resource instance, in order to update an extension in it. All other syntax that allows you to identify these resource instances supports updating open extensions in them in a similar way.

See the Request body section about including in the request body any custom data to change or add to that extension.

Path parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
id	string	A unique identifier for an instance of the corresponding collection. Required.
extensionId	string	This can be an extension name which is a unique text identifier for an extension, or a fully qualified name which concatenates the extension type and unique text identifier. The fully qualified name is returned in the id property when you create the extension. Required.

Request headers

Name	Value
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json

Request body

Provide a JSON body of an openTypeExtension object, with the following required name-value pairs, and any custom data to change or add to that extension. The data in the JSON payload can be primitive types, or arrays of primitive types.

Name	Value
@odata.type	microsoft.graph.openTypeExtension
extensionName	%unique_string%

Use this operation to either store data in the open extension property, update the stored data, or delete the existing data. - To update any property in the open extension object, you must specify all properties in the request body; otherwise, Microsoft Graph will delete the unspecified properties. - To delete data from a property in the open extension object, set its value to null. - To delete a property from the open extension object, don't pass it in the PATCH request body, and Microsoft Graph will delete it. - To delete data from all properties in the open extension object but keep the open extension object, update the values of the properties to null.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and the updated openTypeExtension object.

Example

Request 1

The first example shows how to update an extension in a message. The extension is initially represented by the following JSON payload:

{
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#Me/messages('AAMkAGE1M2IyNGNmLTI5MTktNDUyZi1iOTVl===')/extensions/$entity",
    "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.openTypeExtension",
    "@odata.id": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users('ddfc984d-b826-40d7-b48b-57002df85e00@1717f226-49d1-4d0c-9d74-709fad6677b4')/messages('AAMkAGE1M2IyNGNmLTI5MTktNDUyZi1iOTVl===')/extensions
('Microsoft.OutlookServices.OpenTypeExtension.Com.Contoso.Referral')",
    "extensionName": "Com.Contoso.Referral",
    "id": "Microsoft.OutlookServices.OpenTypeExtension.Com.Contoso.Referral",
    "companyName": "Wingtip Toys",
    "dealValue": 500050,
    "expirationDate": "2015-12-03T10:00:00Z"
}

You can reference the extension by its name:

PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages/AAMkAGE1M2IyNGNmLTI5MTktNDUyZi1iOTVl===/extensions/Com.Contoso.Referral

Or you can reference the extension by its fully qualified name:

PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages/AAMkAGE1M2IyNGNmLTI5MTktNDUyZi1iOTVl===/extensions/Microsoft.OutlookServices.OpenTypeExtension.Com.Contoso.Referral

You can use either example request and the following request body to update the above extension by:

• Changing companyName from Wingtip Toys to Wingtip Toys (USA)
• Changing dealValue from 500050 to 500100
• Adding new data as the custom property updated

{
    "@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.openTypeExtension",
    "extensionName": "Com.Contoso.Referral",
    "companyName": "Wingtip Toys (USA)",
    "dealValue": "500100",
    "expirationDate": "2015-12-03T10:00:00.000Z",
    "updated": "2015-10-29T11:00:00.000Z"
} 

Response 1

Here is the response which is the same regardless of the way used to reference the extension.

Request 2

The second example shows how to update an extension in a group post. The extension is initially represented by the following JSON payload, with an expirationDate value of 2015-07-03T13:04:00Z:

{
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#groups('37df2ff0-0de0-4c33-8aee-75289364aef6')/threads('AAQkADJizZJpEWwqDHsEpV_KA%3D%3D')/posts('AAMkADJiUg96QZUkA-ICwMubAADDEd7UAAA%3D')/extensions/$entity",
