The OneNote - Graph API does not return the new name of the Section after rename

Question

Hi guys, I'm a developer working with OneNote through the Graph API. I got a problem with the Section name. I created a section called Section 1 and call the Graph API to get all the sections, the result contains Section 1. But if I rename Section 1 to Section A, and call the Graph API again, the result still returns Section 1 instead of Section A

Hope you are doing well,

I am able to get the updated one note section displayname using Graph API Patch method. Find the details below

• Initially get all sections from the one note - Get - https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onenote/sections
• Get the section id from the above response for which we are going to update the display name
• Update the display name using below endpoint with Patch operation Patch :https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onenote/sections/Section ID
  Request Body

Hi @RajeshKumarMSFT ,
My job is to get the section name from the notebook of other people, and the section was renamed by them, not me :(
