roam_update_block

Update a single block identified by its UID. Use this for individual block updates when you need to either replace the entire content or apply a transform pattern to modify specific parts of the content. NOTE on Roam-flavored markdown: For direct linking: use [[link]] syntax. For aliased linking, use alias syntax. Do not concatenate words in links/hashtags - correct: #[[multiple words]] #self-esteem (for typically hyphenated words).
