# Assign Update Response

By default, the response of the update action (`PATCH` request) will be ignored.

If you want to assign the response body (eg. for complex populated updates), you can use the `assignResponse` reducer option.

* Usually you will want to configure it for a specific action:

```javascript
export const {types, actions, reducers} = createResource({
  name: 'user',
  url: 'https://foo.com/users/:id',
  actions: {
    update: {
      assignResponse: true
    }
  }
});
```

* Or as an one-time override at action call-time:

```javascript
actions.updateUser({firstName: 'Olivier'}, {query: {pleaseSendResponse: true}, assignResponse: true});
```
