# Update an extra suboption metafield

> **API operation:** [Open the endpoint in Scalar](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/#tag/business/PUT/business/{business_id}/extras/{extra_id}/options/{option_id}/suboptions/{suboption_id}/metafields/{metafield_id})

Use `PUT /business/{business_id}/extras/{extra_id}/options/{option_id}/suboptions/{suboption_id}/metafields/{metafield_id}` to update one metafield on an extra suboption. The operation is `ExtraOptionSuboptionMetafield.update`.

The identifiers are hierarchical: `metafield_id` must belong to the specified `suboption_id`, which belongs to `option_id`, `extra_id`, and `business_id`. The route identifies the literal model as `ExtraOptionSuboption` and the metafield object ID from the route.

The endpoint validates `value` according to `value_type`; supported `value_type` values are `integer`, `decimal`, `boolean`, `text`, and `json`. The `key` requirement and validation may differ between creation and update.

The operation requires administrator or business-manager authentication and scopes business managers through associated businesses.
