How to Update an Application Variable

Updated on 05 August, 2026

Update a Vultr Marketplace application variable using the Vultr Console or Vultr API to change its name, description, or required setting for deployments.

Updating a variable changes the label a customer sees for it. The variable's name, type, and other settings cannot be changed after creation.

This guide explains how to update a variable's label using the Vultr Console or the Vultr API.

  • Vultr Console
  • Vultr API

  1. Click Marketplace in the Vultr Console's left-hand menu.

  2. Click the application name to open the Edit App screen.

  3. Click the Variables tab.

  4. Click the variable you want to change, update its label, and save your change.

Send a PATCH request to the Update Marketplace App Variable endpoint. Replace {app-id} with the app's ID and {variable-id} with the variable's id from How to List Application Variables.

console 
$ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/marketplace/apps/{app-id}/manage-variables/{variable-id}" \
    -X PATCH \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "label": "NEW-VARIABLE-LABEL"
    }'

The response contains the updated app_variable object.
