Field mask is used to specify the fields to be overwritten in the Api resource by the update. The fields specified in the updateMask are relative to the resource, not the full request. A field will be overwritten if it is in the mask. If the user does not provide a mask then all fields will be overwritten.
A comma-separated list of fully qualified names of fields. Example: "user.displayName,photo".
