Configuration

2 fields, 2 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.

FieldTypeRequiredDefaultConstraintsExample
observable_id
TheHive id of the observable.
stringYes——~41320536
changes
The fields to merge into the record, as a JSON object using TheHive's own field names, e.g. {"status": "InProgress", "assignee": "analyst"}.
objectYes—≥ 1 characters{"status":"InProgress"}

Example configuration

Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.

{
  "changes": {
    "status": "InProgress"
  },
  "observable_id": "~41320536"
}

Output

One shape.

FieldTypeExample
observable_id
The observable that was changed.
string—
accepted
True when TheHive took the change. It answers 204 with no body, so the updated record is not returned — read it back if you need it.
boolean—
fields
The names of the fields that were sent, sorted.
array—
{
  "accepted": false,
  "fields": [],
  "observable_id": ""
}

See Update Observable run in a workflow.

In a technical demo we add the TheHive connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
