API: Can we update the external_id of a lot?

Stragus

Greetings,

When performing lot updates by /v1/inventory/update, I'm always using the lot_id=foo parameter to identify the target lot.

In some (very rare) cases, I would like to update the external_id. I wrongly assumed specifying an external_id would do so, but it's just interpreted as an alternate mean of locating the target lot for update.

Should we have some way of updating a lot's external_id, or should creating a new lot from scratch (with the new external_id) be the only way?

Thank you!

I would suggest creating a new lot, I could implement this, but it seems like the kind of thing that would have some unintended side-effect that I would then have to deal with

That works for me, thanks.
