Identifier. The relative resource name of the entry, in the format projects/{project_id_or_number}/locations/{locationId}/entryGroups/{entryGroupId}/entries/{entryId}.
Optional. Mask of fields to update. To update Aspects, the updateMask must contain the value "aspects".
If the updateMask is empty, the service will update all modifiable fields present in the request.
This is a comma-separated list of fully qualified names of fields. Example: "user.displayName,photo".
allowMissing
boolean
Optional. If set to true and the entry doesn't exist, the service will create it.
deleteMissingAspects
boolean
Optional. If set to true and the aspectKeys specify aspect ranges, the service deletes any existing aspects from that range that weren't provided in the request.
aspectKeys[]
string
Optional. The map keys of the Aspects which the service should modify. It supports the following syntaxes:
<aspect_type_reference> - matches an aspect of the given type and empty path.
<aspect_type_reference>@path - matches an aspect of the given type and specified path. For example, to attach an aspect to a field that is specified by the schema aspect, the path should have the format Schema.<field_name>.
<aspect_type_reference>@* - matches aspects of the given type for all paths.
*@path - matches aspects of all types on the given path.
The service will not remove existing aspects matching the syntax unless deleteMissingAspects is set to true.
If this field is left empty, the service treats it as specifying exactly those Aspects present in the request.
