Upsert an entity in Entity Store
Update or create an entity in Entity Store.
If the specified entity already exists, it is updated with the provided values. If the entity does not exist, a new one is created. By default, only the following fields can be updated: * entity.attributes.*
* entity.lifecycle.*
* entity.behavior.*
To update other fields, set the force
query parameter to true
. > info > Some fields always retain the first observed value. Updates to these fields will not appear in the final index.
Due to technical limitations, not all updates are guaranteed to appear in the final list of observed values. Due to technical limitations, create is an async operation. The time for a document to be present in the > final index depends on the entity store transform and usually takes more than 1 minute.
