What this operation supports in LearnDash
Updates an existing topic's attributes in LearnDash, such as its title, content, or parent lesson assignment.
Request behavior and expectations
Changing a topic's parent lesson moves it within the content hierarchy, which can affect drip-release timing if the new parent lesson has different scheduling than the old one.
Implementation details
Confirming the target lesson is actually the intended destination before reassigning a topic avoids content ending up nested under the wrong lesson.
