Update an approval step
Módulo Platform
PATCH/approval-steps/{id}approvalSteps.update
An ordered step of an approval policy (1030). It names its approvers: everyone holding a role, or one member. Steps change only while the policy is a Draft (approval_step_policy_not_draft: 422). Updates the fields sent; omitted fields are unchanged. Requires `If-Match` with the current `ETag`: a stale tag returns 412 and a missing tag returns 428.
