## \[V3 REST API] Bug fix: Updating dropdown options by ID via PATCH

This change impacts the V3 REST APIs only *(currently in open beta)*

Fixed a bug where updating an existing dropdown option by specifying its id in the request body would return a 500 error. PATCH requests to update dropdown options now work as expected.
