The methodology to update a web map can be summarized as such:

1

Get the web map json (item.get_data())

Similar to the ArcGIS Rest API:

2
Prepare the web map dictionary by overwriting the chosen dictionary values with the desired values:

3
Update the target web map (item.update(item_properties=desired web map dictionary keys:values))

thanks for sharing. 

I've been using the above approach updating the layer source, i.e to point a layer Url into another one

Excellent @Anonymous User , thank you for commenting.

That's great, thanks for the write-up. But it would be really nicer and helpful if your snippets were posted as code blocks instead of images, don't you think?

Thanks @AndresCastillo .

Thanks for these tips.

These would be more useful as code blocks for copy/paste ease. Someone already mentioned that above, but it also would help with SEO, because I will probably never find this post later when I need it. Adding a bit of text with keywords about what these do will help. I know what updateWMLayerItemID means when I read it, for example, but I'll never manage to search on that months from now when I actually need to do it.
