Changing the Description of a Concept Code
The description of a concept code may be added, modified or removed using the updateCodeDescription element.
As with all updates, updateCodeDescription can have its own ballotStatus if needed to reflect special cases. It has an optional oldDescription element that can contain the description that is being changed and a newDescription element that contains the revised description or can be empty if the description is to be completely removed. If present, the oldDescription will be validated against the database before the change is performed.
conceptCode | The concept code that the change is being applied to |
---|---|
conceptName | A valid designation for the concept code. Optional, but will be validated if supplied. |
The example above removes the second sentence from the “Light Ale” description. Note that the preferred name is “Light Ale” rather than “LIGHT ALE” because of an update that occurred earlier in both this document and the actual XML update source.
