Updates specific fields of an existing question. Only provided fields will be updated.

**What are Questions?**
Questions capture customer-specific requirements or project details. They can have different types (ShortText, Editor, Checkbox, Radio, Files, Datepicker, Multiplier, Person) and can affect effort calculation.

For Checkbox/Radio types, if options are provided, at least one option must be included. Description field accepts HTML or Markdown input and returns HTML format. Only library component item questions (component.projectId is null) are accessible through this endpoint.
