Updates only the provided fields of an existing question for a component item within a project. Questions support multiple types (ShortText, Editor, Checkbox, Radio, Files, Datepicker, Multiplier, Person). For Checkbox/Radio types, options must be provided if type is being updated to one of these types. The description field accepts HTML or Markdown input and is stored in IDoc format. Options management: options with id are updated, options without id are created, options removed from array are deleted. Conditions management: conditions with id are updated, conditions without id are created, conditions removed from array are deleted. This endpoint automatically recalculates conditions, updates timeframes, and triggers summary generation.
