Hello @kartik,

Serializers allow partial updates by specifying partial=True when initializing the serialzer. This is how PATCH requests are handled by default in the generic views.

serializer = CommentSerializer(comment, data=request.data, partial=True)

This will allow you to update individual fields in a serializer, or all of the fields if you want, without any of the restrictions of a standard PUT request.

Hope this helps!!

Thank You!!
