}

Updating

To update/modify an existing operative container type, use the corresponding PATCH call:

Adding an Icon

You can (and should) add an icon to the operative container type definition so that is displayed nicely in the Android app and the picker knows which bag, box, etc. to choose. The image file needs to be base64 encoded in the HTTP request:
