You can modify some fields of an existing Account. Typically, you cannot modify values in the Info tab Title field or Class FQID field.

Best Practices for Working with Account Labels

If you change an Account Label, the change might not be reflected immediately in Snaps that use that account. In the UI, you can reopen and resave every Pipeline that uses the modified Account to refresh the information.

To avoid this issue when working with APIs, refer to the Account instance by its asset ID, instead of its label. Follow these steps to find the asset ID to use with APIs:

1. Export the Pipeline to view its metadata. The .slp file generated by the export is a JSON-formatted file.

2. In the JSON tree, under snap_map, go to the branch for the Snap that uses the modified Account.
   TIP: Under snap_map, the keys are the Snap asset IDs. Use the Snap's class_fqid and class_id to help you find the appropriate Snap.

3. Under the appropriate Snap's branch, the Account's asset ID is the value of property_map.account.account_ref.value.ref_id.value.
