Why are so many Endpoints missing in the REST API (v6.0). I would like to have the PUT endpoint in so many resources. Specialy for the Test Run Artifact. I am try to make a migration script for my test runs because of changes in the template (custom properties). But now i have to do it manually!

The UI does not generally allow updating a test run, so that PUT request is deliberately omitted.

We have PUTs for most of the core artifacts. Many of the endpoints are for adding/removing relationships so it does not make sense to have PUTs for them, only GET, POST and DELETE.

I dont understand, i can update/edit my test runs with the UI. I mean even bulk editing is possible.

Further i definitely disagree with your statement. It is almost always useful to have the possibility to edit things. Things change in a living ecosystem and you can't know every scenario of your users.

So it would be a much better solution to implement the edit function and allow users to decide which way they want to go.

How can I use the user interface to make changes to my test runs? I'm confused. I mean, it's even feasible to bulk edit.It goes without saying that I disagree with what you said. Possessing the ability to make changes is almost always beneficial. A live ecosystem is always evolving, and it's impossible to anticipate all of your users' needs.
