## Update span assessment

**patch** `/v5/span-assessments/{span_assessment_id}`

Update the content of an existing span assessment.

Only the assessment's original creator, or an account admin or manager, may
update it; a request from any other identity returns 403. Supplied fields
overwrite the stored values and
the merged result is re-validated against the assessment's type, so the
content must stay consistent with assessment_type (the matching content field
present and no conflicting fields set) or the call returns 422. The span and
trace an assessment is attached to cannot be changed through this endpoint.
Returns 404 if no assessment with that id exists for the caller's account.
