+            <th>Name</th>
+            <th>Type</th>
+            <th>Cardinality</th>
+            <th>Description</th>
+        </tr>
+    </thead>
+    <tbody>
+        <tr>
+            <td>id</td>
+            <td>Integer</td>
+            <td>1..1</td>
+            <td>
+                The numeric ID for the partition to update. This ID must already exist.
