You can call this operation to update a template.

Take note of the following items:

  • If you specify the TemplateBody or TemplateURL parameter, the existing version number is automatically incremented by 1 after the template is updated. For example, the version is changed from v1 to V2.
  • If you do not specify the TemplateBody or TemplateURL parameter, the version number remains unchanged.
  • A template can have up to 100 versions. If the number of templates reaches the upper limit, the template fails to be updated. You must create another template.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.
