# Update points in a batch

> Starts a job that updates up to 1,000 points, each with its own fields.

The update runs as a job. The request is checked for shape, a job is created, and the response returns that job. Poll [Get a job](https://docs.kodelabs.com/products/kode-api/api-reference/buildings/get-a-job.md) with the job `_id` until `status` is `COMPLETED`, `FAILED` or `CANCELED`.

Each item has the point `id` and any of the fields of [Update a point](https://docs.kodelabs.com/products/kode-api/api-reference/points/update-a-point.md). Fields you leave out keep their current value. Send each `id` once.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The job checks that every point exists in the building. If any `id` is unknown or belongs to another building, the job ends with `FAILED` and no point is changed. After a `COMPLETED` job, read the points to confirm the new values.
