Partially updates document settings for a specific project. All fields are optional - only provided fields will be updated.

**What are Project Document Settings?**
Project document settings control formatting options and contact information for automatically generated documents such as proposals, contracts, requirement specifications, and other project documents. These settings can override organization/workspace defaults on a per-project basis.

**Settings You Can Update:**
- **projectDocumentTitlePage**: Enable/disable title page for generated documents (null = use organization standard)
- **projectDocumentEnableToc**: Enable/disable table of contents in generated documents (null = use organization standard)
- **projectDocumentHeadingStyle**: Set heading numbering style (null = use organization standard)
  - Normal: No numbering
  - Sequential: Numbering from level 1
  - SequentialFromSecondLevel: Numbering from level 2
  - SequentialWithParagraphs: Numbering with symbol prefix (e.g., §)
- **projectDocumentDefaultContactUserId**: Set default contact person UUID for new documents (null = use organization standard or no default)

**Inheritance Behavior:**
Setting any field to null enables inheritance from organization/workspace defaults. This allows you to override organization settings for specific projects or revert to using organization standards.

**Use Cases:**
- Customize document formatting for specific project types
- Set project-specific contact persons for recurring offer processes
- Override organization defaults when needed
- Revert to organization standards by setting fields to null
