Update property of object in jsonb array and keep other properties - postgresql

Question

I have a postgres table with a jsonb colum like this:
create table if not exists doc
(
id uuid not null
constraint pkey_doc_id
primary key,
data jsonb not null
);
INSERT INTO doc (id, data) VALUES ('3cf40366-ea58-402d-b63b-c9d6fdf99ec8', '{"Id": "3cf40366-ea58-402d-b63b-c9d6fdf99ec8", "Tags": [{"Key": "inoivce", "Value": "70086"},{"Key": "customer", "Value": "100233"}] }' );
INSERT INTO doc (id, data) VALUES ('ae2d1119-adb9-41d2-96e9-53445eaf97ab', '{"Id": "ae2d1119-adb9-41d2-96e9-53445eaf97ab", "Tags": [{"Key": "project", "Value": "12345"},{"Key": "customer", "Value": "100233"}]}' );b9-41d2-96e9-53445eaf97ab", "Tags": [{"Key": "customer", "Value": "100233"}]}' )
Tags.Key in the first row contains a typo inoivce which I want to fix to invoice:
{
"Id": "3cf40366-ea58-402d-b63b-c9d6fdf99ec8",
"Tags": [{
"Key": "inoivce",
"Value": "70086"
},{
"Key": "customer",
"Value": "100233"
}]
}
I tried this:
update doc set data = jsonb_set(
data,
'{"Tags"}',
$${"Key":"invoice"}$$
) where data #> '{"Tags": [{ "Key":"inoivce"}]}';
The typo gets fixed but I'm loosing the other Tags elements in the array:
{
"Id": "3cf40366-ea58-402d-b63b-c9d6fdf99ec8",
"Tags": [{"Key": "invoice"}]
}
How can I fix the typo without removing the other elements of the Tags array?
Dbfiddle for repro.

Answer 1

One possible solution, not so obvious : we need a CTE because the idea here is to loop on the 'Tags' jsonb array elements using the jsonb_agg aggregate function to rebuild the array, but the SET clause of an UPDATE doesn't accept aggregate functions ...
WITH list AS
( SELECT d.id, (d.data - 'Tags') || jsonb_build_object('Tags', jsonb_agg(jsonb_set(e.content, '{Key}' :: text[], to_jsonb(replace(e.content->>'Key', 'inoivce', 'invoice'))) ORDER BY e.id)) AS data
FROM doc AS d
CROSS JOIN LATERAL jsonb_array_elements(d.data->'Tags') WITH ORDINALITY AS e(content, id)
WHERE d.data #? '$.Tags[*] ? (exists(# ? (#.Key == "inoivce")))'
GROUP BY d.id, d.data
)
UPDATE doc AS d
SET data = l.data
FROM list AS l
WHERE d.id = l.id
