Update job status

PATCH
/jobs/{jobId}/status
Change an existing job to a supported lifecycle state. This does not change publication settings.

Permissions#

jobs.status.write and an Idempotency-Key are required.

Supported states#

CodeState
1Draft
2New
4Rejected
5In Progress (active)
Codes 2 and 4 do not mean Closed or On Hold. Use job options to discover supported values.

Before activating#

Complete the required job details and skills. Complete older incomplete drafts in CVViZ first.
Complete any required job approval in CVViZ.
Ensure active-job capacity is available.
Activation clears the draft flag; other status changes preserve it. This endpoint does not approve a job or publish it to job boards.
See Create and activate a job for the full workflow.

Common errors#

400: invalid state or incomplete job details.
409: approval, capacity or idempotency conflict.
