    @Stuart Weenig -- The ‘forceUniqueIdentifier’ param is to force the change/update of ‘useWildValueAsUUID’. So like how the checkbox is disabled in the UI once you commit and save that setting:

    You can bypass that via the API with the param ‘forceUniqueIdentifier’:

    You also need that key param as well. This is considered destructive and should be used with caution. 😬

    @Javier -- But yeah you can leverage the API to update DataSources, but it’s not documented and considered unsupported at this time.

I totally missed the title of your post. It’s not in the SDK because it’s not a published endpoint in the API. So, you’ll have to manually make the call using the requests library. If you need example code of how to do that, let me know.
