        "col_sec_id": 1626360791978,
        "row_cols_count": 2
    }

]

I want to update all ocurance of class inside rows->>cols->>col_sec_json->>data->>class to new value

I can update any specific item like below

select  jsonb_set(jdata, '{0,rows,1,col_sec_json,data,class}', '"new_value"')

But in above query I need to be like

select  jsonb_set(jdata, '{**---dyanamic for all rows ---** ,rows,**--- dynaic all colssec-json in each element of a rows---**,col_sec_json,data,class}', '"new_value"')

I tried alot but could not find,

Any help, highly appreciable...

Thanks

The easiest way to do this is to deconstruct the JSON, modify each array element, then rebuild the array

SELECT
    (SELECT jsonb_agg(
        jsonb_set(j1.value, '{rows}',
            (
             SELECT jsonb_agg(jsonb_set(j2.value, '{col_sec_json,data,class}', '"new_value"'))
             FROM jsonb_array_elements(j1.value->'rows') j2
            )
        ))
     FROM jsonb_array_elements(t.jdata) j1
     )
FROM YourTable t

Or as an UPDATE

UPDATE YourTable t
SET jdata = 
    (SELECT jsonb_agg(
        jsonb_set(j1.value, '{rows}',
            (
             SELECT jsonb_agg(jsonb_set(j2.value, '{col_sec_json,data,class}', '"new_value"'))
             FROM jsonb_array_elements(j1.value->'rows') j2
            )
        ))
     FROM jsonb_array_elements(t.jdata) j1
     )
;

jsonb_array_elements is used to deconstruct a JSON array into separate rows of JSON objects. Then jsonb_set modifies the object, and jsonb_agg aggregates it back into an array.
