Update a service

The body must contain at least one writable field. An empty PATCH is rejected with 400 EMPTY_UPDATE_BODY, and a body with only unknown field names is rejected with 400 NO_RECOGNIZED_UPDATE_FIELDS.
The iblockId field is not accepted on update: the catalog is set on creation. Fields marked readonly: true in Service fields, for example type and createdBy, are filled in by the system. Any of these fields in the body is rejected with 400 READONLY_FIELD.

Known specifics
A catalog property changes only when passed as an object. A PATCH with a string — "property301": "A-200" — or with null returns 200, but the property value does not change. Pass the new value as an object { "value": "..." }. When you create a service, a string property also accepts a plain string.
iblockSectionId replaces all of the service's sections. If the service belongs to several sections, a PATCH with iblockSectionId leaves it only in the specified section — the iblockSection array in the response contains one ID. To keep several sections, pass them as a full array in iblockSection.
Unknown scalar field names next to known ones are ignored. A body with name and an unknown scalar field name returns 200: name is written, and the unknown name is dropped without a warning. An object under fields is rejected with 400 NESTED_FIELDS_ENVELOPE before the update — send service fields at the JSON root.
