Updating a secret version metadata in the UI

1. In the row for the secret that you want to update, click the Actions menu > Version history.
2. Select the version to update its custom metadata.

Updating a secret version metadata using CLI

To update a secret version by using the Secrets Manager CLI plug-in, run the ibmcloud secrets-manager secret-version-metadata-update command. For example, the following command updates a secret's name, description, labels, custom metadata, and expiration date.

ibmcloud secrets-manager secret-version-metadata-update \
    --secret-id 0b5571f7-21e6-42b7-91c5-3f5ac9793a46 \
    --id eb4cf24d-9cae-424b-945e-159788a5f535 \
    --version-custom-metadata '{"anyKey": "anyValue"}'

Updating a secret version metadata using API

To update a secret version metadata by using the API, execute the following request. In this example the request updates a secret version's custom metadata.

curl -X PATCH --location --header "Authorization: Bearer {iam_token}" \
    --header "Accept: application/json" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/merge-patch+json" \
    --data ''
   "https://{instance_ID}.{region}.secrets-manager.appdomain.cloud/api/v2/secrets/{secret_id}/versions/{id}/metadata""

When you call the API, replace the region, secret_id, secret version id variables, and IAM token with the values that are specific to your Secrets Manager instance.
