Overview

Updates the name and value of an existing variant on a feature flag.

When backend approvals are enabled and the flag requires approval, this endpoint creates and returns a FlagSuggestion with 201 Created instead of applying the change immediately. Use the returned suggestion id to approve or reject the change. If a pending suggestion already exists for this flag's variant property, the endpoint returns 409 Conflict.

This endpoint requires the feature_flag_config_write permission.

OAuth apps require the feature_flag_config_write authorization scope to access this endpoint.
