I’m not sure if there is a direct method for modifying a fixlet using API, but I know it’s possible, and I did it for our fixlet, which has hard coded entries that need to be updated every year without having to create a new fixlet.

If the automation is a recurring operation, you will need to write a script; nonetheless, manual execution is simple.

//Step1 export/dowload the fixlet using API
iem.exe get fixlet/custom/sitename/fixletID >> fixletID.xml

//Step2 modify the exported xml file with desired value & this is the part which require scripting if there are many item & doing it manually could produce errors

//Step3 upload modified copy with same FixletID
iem.exe put fixletID.xml fixlet/custom/sitename/fixletID

//Step4 post your action using with fixlet ID
