Update a dataset item

PATCH/v5/dataset-items/{dataset_item_id}

Update the data payload and optional file associations of a dataset item.

The request replaces the item’s data in full and, if provided, its file associations; there is no partial-field merge. Data keys may not collide with reserved dataset- or evaluation-item field names, and any referenced files must exist and be a supported media format. Items that are archived or soft-deleted cannot be updated. The update is applied as a new dataset version rather than overwriting the previous record, so prior versions remain retrievable.
