g
when updating the destination namespace using the backend API (using the connectionUpdate endpoint), is there a way to use existing
syncCatalog
for the given connection e.g.
${CONNECTION_SCHEMA_CATALOG}
Copy code
{
    "connectionId": uuid,
    "namespaceDefinition": "customformat",
    "namespaceFormat": "new_schema",
    "status": "active",
    "syncCatalog": ${CONNECTION_SYNC_CATALOG} # instead of pasting a very very long dictionary
}

wanting to rename a destination namespace (the schema name in the DB) as quick and easy as possibly ie only pass in the id, namespace definition and namespace format

ah I see so you basically want a PATCH operation if possible
u
it’s currently not available but could you create an issue for it?
