import { category } from '@wix/faq';

async function updateExtendedFields(_id,namespace,options) {
  const response = await category.updateExtendedFields(_id,namespace,options);
};
```

### updateExtendedFields (with elevated permissions)
```javascript
import { category } from '@wix/faq';
import { auth } from '@wix/essentials';

async function myUpdateExtendedFieldsMethod(_id,namespace,options) {
  const elevatedUpdateExtendedFields = auth.elevate(category.updateExtendedFields);

```javascript
import { createClient } from '@wix/sdk';
import { category } from '@wix/faq';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { category },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function updateExtendedFields(_id,namespace,options) {
  const response = await myWixClient.category.updateExtendedFields(_id,namespace,options);
};
```
