update_test_case
Partially update a Zephyr Scale test case by specifying only the fields to change; test steps are synchronized by id, with new steps created, existing ones updated, and omitted steps deleted.
Instructions
Update a Zephyr Scale test case (PUT /testcase/{testCaseKey}). PARTIAL update: only the fields you pass are changed; omitted fields keep their current values — never send empty placeholders. projectKey cannot be changed. STEP_BY_STEP step synchronization: when testScript.steps is passed, steps are matched by id — a step WITHOUT an id is CREATED, a step WITH an id is UPDATED, and any existing step MISSING from the list is DELETED. Therefore always pass the COMPLETE final list of steps, carrying over the ids of steps to keep (read them with get_test_case). To merely add steps, prefer add_test_steps, which performs that read-merge-write safely. Returns { key, url }.
