### Overview

Update the cross-product sampling configuration of a permanent RUM retention filter for a RUM application. Only fields marked as editable in the `editability` block of the filter can be updated. Updating a non-editable field returns a `400` response.

### Arguments

#### Path Parameters

| Name                              | Type   | Description                                           |
| --------------------------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| app_id [*required*]          | string | RUM application ID.                                   |
| permanent_rf_id [*required*] | string | The identifier of the permanent RUM retention filter. |

### Request

#### Body Data (required)

New configuration of the permanent RUM retention filter.
