Update open extension

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Update an open extension (openTypeExtension object) on a supported resource type.

• If a property in the request body matches the name of an existing property in the extension, the data in the extension is updated.
• Otherwise, that property and its data are added to the extension.

The data in an extension can be primitive types or arrays of primitive types.

See the table in the Permissions section for the list of resources that support open extensions.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Depending on the resource that the extension was created in and the permission type (delegated or application) requested, the permission specified in the following table is the least privileged required to call this API. To learn more, including taking caution before choosing more privileged permissions, search for the following permissions in Permissions.

Supported resource	Delegated (work or school account)	Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Application
device	Directory.AccessAsUser.All	Not supported	Device.ReadWrite.All
event	Calendars.ReadWrite	Calendars.ReadWrite	Calendars.ReadWrite
group	Group.ReadWrite.All	Not supported	Group.ReadWrite.All
group event	Group.ReadWrite.All	Not supported	Not supported
group post	Group.ReadWrite.All	Not supported	Group.ReadWrite.All
message	Mail.ReadWrite	Mail.ReadWrite	Mail.ReadWrite
organization	Organization.ReadWrite.All	Not supported	Organization.ReadWrite.All
personal contact	Contacts.ReadWrite	Contacts.ReadWrite	Contacts.ReadWrite
todoTask	Tasks.ReadWrite	Tasks.ReadWrite	Tasks.ReadWrite.All
todoTaskList	Tasks.ReadWrite	Tasks.ReadWrite	Tasks.ReadWrite.All
user	User.ReadWrite	User.ReadWrite	User.ReadWrite.All

HTTP request

In the request, identify the resource instance, use the extensions navigation property of that instance to identify the extension, and do a PATCH on that extension instance.

PATCH /devices/{Id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /users/{id|userPrincipalName}/events/{id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /groups/{id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /groups/{id}/events/{id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /groups/{id}/threads/{id}/posts/{id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /users/{id|userPrincipalName}/messages/{id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /organization/{Id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /users/{id|userPrincipalName}/contacts/{id}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /users/{id|userPrincipalName}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /users/me/todo/lists/{todoTaskListId}/tasks/{taskId}/extensions/{extensionId}
PATCH /users/me/todo/lists/{todoTaskListId}/extensions/{extensionId}

Note: The above syntax shows some common ways to identify a resource instance, in order to update an extension in it. All other syntax that allows you to identify these resource instances supports updating open extensions in them in a similar way.

See the Request body section about including in the request body any custom data to change or add to that extension.

Request headers

Name	Value
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json

Request body

In the request body, supply only the values for properties to update. Existing properties that aren't included in the request body maintain their previous values or are recalculated based on changes to other property values.

The following table specifies the properties that can be updated.

Provide a JSON body of an openTypeExtension object, with the following required name-value pairs, and any custom data to change or add to that extension.

Property	Type	Description
@odata.type	String	Must be #microsoft.graph.openTypeExtension. Required.
extensionName	String	Required if id isn't supplied. Updatable.
id	String	Required if id isn't supplied. Read-only.

For resources that are directory (Microsoft Entra ID) objects:

• To update any property in the open extension object, you must specify all properties in the request body; otherwise, Microsoft Graph deletes the unspecified properties.
• To delete data from a property in the open extension object but keep the property, set its value to null.
• To delete a property from the open extension object, don't pass it in the PATCH request body, and Microsoft Graph deletes it.
• To delete data from all properties in the open extension object but keep the open extension object, update the values of all the properties to null.

For Microsoft 365 resources like messages:

• You can specify a subset of the properties in the request body to update them. The omitted properties and their values are retained.
• null values aren't allowed.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 204 No Content response code for directory objects or a 200 OK response code and an updated openTypeExtension object for other resources.

Example

Request 1

The first example shows how to update an extension in a message. The extension is initially represented by the following JSON payload:

{
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#Me/messages('AAMkAGE1M2IyNGNmLTI5MTktNDUyZi1iOTVl===')/extensions/$entity",
    "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.openTypeExtension",
    "@odata.id": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users('ddfc984d-b826-40d7-b48b-57002df85e00@1717f226-49d1-4d0c-9d74-709fad6677b4')/messages('AAMkAGE1M2IyNGNmLTI5MTktNDUyZi1iOTVl===')/extensions
('Microsoft.OutlookServices.OpenTypeExtension.Com.Contoso.Referral')",
    "extensionName": "Com.Contoso.Referral",
    "id": "Microsoft.OutlookServices.OpenTypeExtension.Com.Contoso.Referral",
    "companyName": "Wingtip Toys",
    "dealValue": 500050,
    "expirationDate": "2015-12-03T10:00:00Z"
}

You can reference the extension by its name:

PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages/AAMkAGE1M2IyNGNmLTI5MTktNDUyZi1iOTVl===/extensions/Com.Contoso.Referral

Or you can reference the extension by its fully qualified name:

PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages/AAMkAGE1M2IyNGNmLTI5MTktNDUyZi1iOTVl===/extensions/Microsoft.OutlookServices.OpenTypeExtension.Com.Contoso.Referral

You can use either example request and the following request body to update the above extension by:

• Changing companyName from Wingtip Toys to Wingtip Toys (USA)
• Changing dealValue from 500050 to 500100
• Adding new data as the custom property updated

{
    "@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.openTypeExtension",
    "extensionName": "Com.Contoso.Referral",
    "companyName": "Wingtip Toys (USA)",
    "dealValue": "500100",
    "expirationDate": "2015-12-03T10:00:00.000Z",
    "updated": "2015-10-29T11:00:00.000Z"
} 

Response 1

Here is the response which is the same regardless of the way used to reference the extension.

Request 2

The second example shows how to update an extension in a group post. The extension is initially represented by the following JSON payload, with an expirationDate value of 2015-07-03T13:04:00Z:

{
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#groups('37df2ff0-0de0-4c33-8aee-75289364aef6')/threads('AAQkADJizZJpEWwqDHsEpV_KA%3D%3D')/posts('AAMkADJiUg96QZUkA-ICwMubAADDEd7UAAA%3D')/extensions/$entity",
