787+ - `title` - New title for the work item (optional, requires `title : true` in config)
788+ - `body` - New description in markdown format (optional, requires `body : true` in config)
789+ - `state` - New state (e.g., `"Active"`, `"Resolved"`, `"Closed"`; optional, requires `status : true` in config)
790+ - `area_path` - New area path (optional, requires `area-path : true` in config)
791+ - `iteration_path` - New iteration path (optional, requires `iteration-path : true` in config)
792+ - `assignee` - New assignee email or display name (optional, requires `assignee : true` in config)
793+ - `tags` - New tags, replaces all existing tags (optional, requires `tags : true` in config)
