      Issue Summary

      When using the Manage API, the Update a component group endpoint does not update the "description" element when using PATCH or PUT.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a Group component. Enter a description or leave it blank.
      2. Use the Update a component group endpoint and change the description:
      {
          "description": "This is a test",
          "component_group": {
              "components": [
                  "k6lwp52ptp9w",
                  "v2m6mnv0jqk3",
                  "s59gn3cc2kbd",
                  "f53ktf4ctzl9"
              ],
              "name": "Group 1"
          }
      }
      1. The response returns with status 200 but the description does not change. Since nothing else has changed, the updated_at also doesn't change:
      {
          "id": "kdk2jsmr01wm",
          "page_id": "<PAGE_ID>",
          "name": "Group 1",
          "description": null,
          "components": [
              "k6lwp52ptp9w",
              "v2m6mnv0jqk3",
              "s59gn3cc2kbd",
              "f53ktf4ctzl9"
          ],
          "position": 2,
          "created_at": "2019-10-25T15:30:51Z",
          "updated_at": "2024-07-18T21:43:06Z"
      } 

      Expected Results

      The description should change and the updated_at should reflect the new time that it was updated.

      Actual Results

      The description field and the updated_at field remain unchanged

      Workaround

      If your goal is to update the description, you can use the UI to manually update it. If you need to change the updated_at time, you can change a child component or change the name of the group component.
