Required. Field mask is used to specify the fields to be overwritten in the Connection resource by the update. The fields specified in the updateMask are relative to the resource, not the full request. A field will be overwritten if it is in the mask. If the user does not provide a mask then all fields will be overwritten.
This is a comma-separated list of fully qualified names of fields. Example: "user.displayName,photo".
requestId
string
Optional. An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. The server will guarantee that for at least 60 minutes since the first request.
For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.
The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).
allowMissing
boolean
Optional. If set to true, and the connection is not found a new connection will be created. In this situation updateMask is ignored. The creation will succeed only if the input connection has all the necessary information (e.g a githubConfig with both user_oauth_token and installation_id properties).
validateOnly
boolean
Optional. If set, validate the request, but do not actually post it.
Request body
The request body contains an instance of Connection.
Response body
If successful, the response body contains an instance of Operation.
