[[JOSMImage(multipoly_update,link=,middle,48,margin-right=20)]] ''Keyboard shortcut:'' **`Ctrl+Shift+B`**

This tool quickly updates a [[JOSMImage(data/multipolygon)]] [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#typemultipolygon multipolygon], one of the most common [[JOSMImage(data/relation)]] [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#Relations relations].

The actual outcome of the action relies on the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/SelectionList selected] [[JOSMImage(data/way)]] [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#Ways ways] and relations:
 * If only ways without [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#Membership membership] of a multipolygon are selected, the action is identical to [[JOSMImage(multipoly_create,24,link=,middle)]] [wikitr:/Help/Action/CreateMultipolygon Create Multipolygon].
 * If one selected way is member of a multipolygon or, additionally to ways, a multipolygon relation is selected, the existing relation is updated by moving most of the tags from the ways to the relation and adding the remaining ways with appropriate [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#Roles roles]: `outer` and `inner`.
 * If a way has identical tags as the relation, this will be assumed to be an [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Old_style_multipolygons old style multipolygon] and the tags will be removed from the way, regardless of whether it is role `outer` or `inner`.


== Examples ==#Examples
=== Add a new inner ring ===
 1. Select a relation and new members that would form a multipolygon
 1. activate a tool

A multipolygon will be updated with a new inner ring. In example below we reuse [wikitr:/Help/Action/CreateMultipolygon##MultipolySingleOuterAndInner old relation].
