What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

I have a question regarding the state_reason. While trying to work on a related issue, I noticed state_reason cannot be changed alone, and needs an update of state. Do you think this could be mentioned in the state_reason description in the update-an-issue REST API documentation? Something like

---

state_reason string or null The reason for the current state. NOTE: Can only be updated alongside with a state update Can be one of: completed, not_planned, reopened,

---

Many thanks in advance
