Update existing record

You can use the update() method to change an existing record.

$issue->update([
    'subject' => 'Perform review of component ABC',
]);

Alternatively, you may also use the save() method to achieve the same.

$issue->subject = 'Add docs for build process';
$issue->save();

"Force" reload

Redmine's API does not automatically return an updated record, when you request existing records changed. To reload and obtain the updated record from Redmine, you can specify the second argument of the update() method.

$issue->update([
    'subject' => 'STEIN 12.1 adjustment',
], true); // Force reload

This can also be done via the save() method.

$issue->save(true); // Force reload

reload()

Behind the scene, update() and save() methods invoke the reload(), which can also be called whenever suitable.

// ...Perform some operation on record...

// Later, force reload the record
$issue->reload();
