Returns a task ID and uses a network task lock, so concurrent update/delete task creation fails with conflict. The request will only process the fields that are provided in the request body. Any fields that are not included will remain unchanged. If a provided field already matches the current network state it is skipped, and when no field changes anything no task is created and an empty task list is returned. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/services_docs_mintlify/cloud_api.yaml patch /cloud/v2/networks/{project_id}/{region_id}/{network_id} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Gcore OpenAPI – Cloud API description: >- This OpenAPI is an aggregated OpenAPI specification that unifies all Gcore products into a single file.

Provide key-value pairs to add or update tags. Set tag values to `null` to remove tags. Unspecified tags remain unchanged. Read-only tags are always preserved and cannot be modified. **Examples:** - **Add/update tags:** `{'tags': {'environment': 'production', 'team': 'backend'}}` adds new tags or updates existing ones. - **Delete tags:** `{'tags': {'old_tag': null}}` removes specific tags. - **Remove all tags:** `{'tags': null}` removes all user-managed tags (read-only tags are preserved). - **Partial update:** `{'tags': {'environment': 'staging'}}` only updates specified tags. - **Mixed operations:** `{'tags': {'environment': 'production', 'cost_center': 'engineering', 'deprecated_tag': null}}` adds/updates 'environment' and 'cost_center' while removing 'deprecated_tag', preserving other existing tags. - **Replace all:** first delete existing tags with null values, then add new ones in the same request. examples: - my-tag: my-tag-value my-tag-to-remove: null title: PatchNetworkSerializer type: object TaskIDsSerializer: properties: tasks: description: >- List of task IDs representing asynchronous operations.
