Merge an entity

Merges other entities into this one: their facts and external ids resolve to it.

Merges other entities into this one: their facts and external ids resolve to it. The merge is recorded and reversible with :split; it is never a silent rewrite.

Not available yet. Sylphx Knowledge is declared in the registry but no backend serves it: every call answers 501 with the problem code UNIMPLEMENTED.

  • Path POST https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production/entities/entity:merge
  • Scope knowledge:write
  • Effect write — a successful call changes state.
  • Collection entities
