Update an account

update_accountChanges

What it does: Changes or deletes something you had. Your assistant can ask you to confirm first. Safe to retry: the same call twice changes nothing more.
Permission: Transactions, change transactions:write

What your assistant is told

Change anything on an account: alias, IBAN, kind, booking currency or institution. account is its id, alias or IBAN. A SPARSE patch: pass only what changes; omitted fields keep their value, and an empty string "" clears iban or institution. Setting iban is how you attach a statement's IBAN to an account the user already had (see match_statement_account). Changing currency changes the default for later writes only — it never converts transactions already in the account. To move a transaction between accounts use update_transaction.
