Description
When updating a card/stack/.. though the API it makes more sense to not require setting all parameters but allow to just updated one property like the title. This way the chances of overwriting changes that have been done on the server side since the client/webui fetched for the last time is much lower.

Research direction
Start by tracing the API update endpoints for cards and stacks and reviewing where their parameters are currently required. Done means a client can update only one property, such as the title, without having to submit every parameter, while preserving other server-side changes.
