Use this tool to update an existing board view (tab): change its name, filter rules, or sort order. Provide only the fields you want to change — omitted fields are left unchanged.

For table views where you need to update column visibility, column order, or group-by, prefer the dedicated update_view_table tool, which exposes a strongly-typed settings field.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
viewId	`string`	Yes	The ID of the view to update.
boardId	`string`	Yes	The board ID the view belongs to.
type	`ViewKind`	No	The type of the board view being updated. Defaults to `TABLE`.
name	`string`	No	New name for the view (omit to leave unchanged).
filter	`object`	No	Filter configuration. Contains `rules` (an array of `{column_id, compare_value, operator}`) and an optional `operator` (logical operator between rules, defaults to `and`).
sort	`array`	No	Sort configuration. Array of `{column_id, direction}` objects. `direction` defaults to `asc`.
settings	`object`	No	Type-specific view settings as a JSON object. The shape varies by view type. For `TABLE` views, prefer update_view_table.

Filter rule operators: any_of, not_any_of, is_empty, is_not_empty, greater_than, lower_than, between, contains_text, not_contains_text (defaults to any_of).

Example

Rename a view and change its filter to show only items with a specific status:

{
  "viewId": "98765",
  "boardId": "1234567890",
  "name": "Active Work",
  "filter": {
    "rules": [
      { "column_id": "status", "compare_value": [1], "operator": "any_of" }
    ]
  }
}

The tool returns a confirmation with the updated view's name, ID, and type.
