Signals Notebook: Is it possible to update both the Sample Status and other fields in the Sample Table at the same time?

Answer

We can update multiple fields simultaneously in the Sample Table using the following API endpoint:

PATCH /samples/{sampleId}/properties - Update Sample Properties . This endpoint allows you to update one or more sample properties in a single API request.

However, Sample Status cannot be updated through the PATCH /samples/{sampleId}/properties endpoint. Unlike other sample fields, Sample Status is controlled by the workflow configuration and its associated transition rules. As a result, the status can only be changed through valid workflow transitions and is not currently editable through the standard property update API.
