Issue Summary

REST API Update screen /rest/api/3/screens/{screenId} endpoint does not allow to only edit the description of the screen while keeping the screen name same.

Steps to Reproduce

• Try to then update the description using REST API Update screen /rest/api/3/screens/{screenId} like this
  1. if we don’t include the name

     curl --location --request PUT 'https://$sitename.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/screens/$screenId' \
     --header 'Accept: application/json' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data '{
         "description": "Testing"
     }'
     
     ## this'll give the following error
     {
         "errorMessages": [
             "The screen name has to be provided."
         ],
         "errors": {}
     }
     

  2. if we include the same name

     curl --location --request PUT 'https://$sitename.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/screens/$screenId' \
     --header 'Accept: application/json' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data '{
         "name": "screen name",
         "description": "Testing"
     }'
     
     ## this'll give the following error, although it's the same screen that we're trying to update.
     {
         "errorMessages": [
             "The name is used by another screen."
         ],
         "errors": {}
     }
     

  3. To make the call successful, we’ll need to change the name to something unique.

Expected Results

REST API to allow to only update the Description in the screen

Actual Results

REST API does not allow updating only the Description

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
