Example Responses

200 - Success

{
  "id": 1,
  "nombre": "Secretaría de Desarrollo Urbano y Vivienda",
  "siglas": "SDUV",
  "activo": true
}

404 - Not Found

{
  "statusCode": 404,
  "message": "Dependencia #999 no encontrada",
  "error": "Not Found"
}

400 - Bad Request (Invalid Field Type)

{
  "statusCode": 400,
  "message": [
    "activo must be a boolean value"
  ],
  "error": "Bad Request"
}

The endpoint first verifies that the dependency exists before attempting to update it. If the ID is not found, a 404 error will be returned.

If you update the nombre field to a value that already exists for another dependency, you’ll receive a database constraint error due to the unique constraint.
