`PATCH /api/product_options/{productOptionId}/option_values/{optionValueId}`

Updates the Option Value resource.

Partially updates an option value. The body is a [JSON Merge Patch](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7396) document: include only the fields you want to change. Use it to rename a value or change its `position`.

> **Translations**
>
> Send `Flowkiwi-Locale` to update the `value` for a specific locale. Other locales keep their existing translation.
