Update a Code List

Each time that you edit a code list or its code pairs, you create another version of the code list or code pair.

Note: You can update CodeLists and CodeListCodes via the UI dashboard or the REST APIs. REST APIs change the default version of CodeLists and CodeListCodes, whereas the UI dashboard retains the default version.
