The row stays an insight — the customer's words do not disappear, they just return to the unlinked pool. linkedIssueId becomes null, and GET /v2/posts/{id} still answers 404: an unlinked insight is still not a post. To get a post back, call POST /v2/posts/{id}/convert-to-issue.

What does NOT change

The votes this insight rolled onto the request are not taken back, and the author stays subscribed to it. They are real demand that was expressed, and the roll-up was deduplicated against votes the customer may have cast independently — unwinding it would remove votes it never created. The request's upvotes therefore stays where the link left it. Its linkedInsightCount IS recounted and goes down.

The request that was just unlinked is remembered as "not a match" for this insight, so automatic matching never files it there again.

Calling this on a post that is not an insight, or on an insight that is already unlinked, is a no-op and returns the row unchanged.

Request

No body. The insight is named by the path.

Response

The updated insight, in the standard post format.
