Hi,

I want to update one of the fields of my business object without submitting the task.  
Actually, I want to add notes of my current task without submitting it.

Is there any method to do that, a POST call to call update query or something else.  
I have read in the documentation that only SELECT queries are allowed.

hi  
Each task has a section called comments. you can add notes there. these are called case comments. you can retrieve them anywhere else for display purposes. also you can add Case comments from external pages outside the portal. they can be used as case commentary.  
I am not sure whether you can update bdm using rest API. usually you need a operation section to perform database updation.  
you can play around with flow design to achieve the above scenario.
