# Update a space type

PATCH https://api.cloudraker.com/space-types/{spaceTypeId}
Content-Type: application/json

Updates a space type's ontology extraction configuration: `ontology.prompt` (freeform guidance appended to the extraction instructions, max 4000 chars), `ontology.entities` (allowed entity types as `{ key, description? }` — when non-empty this list replaces the built-in types and extracted entities are validated against it), and `ontology.includeDateTime` (includes the current date and time for relative-date normalization). Configuration takes effect on future ingests only — re-ingest files to apply it. Authorization: organization administrators only — other callers get 403. Returns 200 `{ spaceType }`; 404 if the space type does not exist.
