# A common flow for updating existing data is to first retrieve the data using the GET
# command, update specific fields, and then provide the modified data back using the SET command.

$entry = Get-MediaType -Id 16

# Update the "Name" system field:
$entry.Name = "Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)"

# Save the modified media type
$data = Set-MediaType -Entry $entry

# Output some information to help indicate that the media type was updated
Write-Output "Media type $($data.MediaTypeId) ($($data.Name)) was updated"

# For debug purposes, convert the data to output as JSON so we can see all the fields
Write-Output ""
Write-Output "JSON Results:"

$jsonOutput = $data | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10

# Output the data
Write-Output $jsonOutput
```

Execution results:

```json
Media type 16 (Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)) was updated
