CLI Reference

c8volt update job

Update a job by key

Synopsis

Update a Camunda job by key.

The command supports retries and timeout updates for Camunda 8.8 and 8.9. It builds a pre-mutation plan, supports –dry-run previews, and asks for confirmation before material interactive mutations. Retry updates are confirmed by reading the job by key by default; timeout updates report submitted milliseconds without deadline confirmation. JSON mutations require –dry-run, –auto-confirm, or –automation, and –json cannot be combined with –verbose. Camunda 8.7 returns an unsupported-version error before mutation.
