Create or Update (PUT)

Use PUT /v1/charts instead of POST to perform an upsert. If a chart with the same fullyQualifiedName already exists, it will be updated; otherwise, a new chart is created. The request body is the same as POST.
PUT will not return a 409 conflict error if the entity already exists — it will update the existing entity instead.

Bulk Create or Update (PUT)

Use PUT /v1/charts/bulk to create or update multiple charts in a single request. The request body is an array of create request objects.
