Update Status (GraphQL)
Moves an RMA request to a new status. Pass a status id taken from the request's availableStatuses (see View Return).
Action semantics
Two statuses do more than change the label:
- Received package (
rmaStatusId=5) — creates a refund for the returned item. Send ashippingamount to include shipping in the refund; omit or send0to refund the item only. - Item canceled (
rmaStatusId=8) — cancels the order item and restores its inventory.
Any other status just updates the status. Every status change adds a note to the conversation and notifies the customer.
Input
