## Response

The `data` value is a confirmation string, not an account object. The account update still happens in the background through the service layer.

```json

{

  "success": true,

  "data": "New Community Name (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000): Example Account",

  "meta": {

    "timestamp": "2026-04-15T00:00:00.000Z",

    "path": "/v2/community/accounts/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/name"

  }

}
