Hi,

I want to use the update\_annotation function to update the ‘polygonlabels’ value in my annotations. From what I can tell this value is under annotations \> result \> values \> polygonlabels. I want to change the value using the python sdk. Can anyone help?

You can try something like this:

```auto
from label_studio_sdk import Client

# Initialize the Label Studio client
ls = Client(url='https://your-label-studio-instance.com', api_key='your_api_key')

# Define the project ID and task ID
project_id = 1
task_id = 123

# Define the annotation ID you want to update
annotation_id = 456

# Define the new polygonlabels value
new_polygonlabels = [
    {
        "original_width": 1024,
        "original_height": 768,
        "image_rotation": 0,
        "value": {
            "points": [[10, 10], [20, 20], [30, 10]],
            "polygonlabels": ["NewLabel"]
        },
        "from_name": "label",
        "to_name": "image",
        "type": "polygonlabels"
    }
]

# Update the annotation
response = ls.update_annotation(
    task_id=task_id,
    annotation_id=annotation_id,
    result=new_polygonlabels
)

print(response)

```
