Hi team, can you help me to update an ANSWER title/name through the metadata api? I was hoping to use https://developers.thoughtspot.com/docs/restV2-playground?apiResourceId=http%2Fapi-endpoints%2Fmetadata%2Fupdate-metadata-header, but it is hard to know how the payload should look like.... For example: what is the property name for the Answer's name? (just name? answer_name? and etc...)

I was hoping to build my api payload with something like: 
payload = {
            "headers_update": [
                {
                    "identifier": "my_ts_answer_id",
                    "type": "ANSWER",
                    "attributes": [
                        {"name": "name", "value": "Updated throughAPI"}
                    ],
                }
            ],
        }
payload = {
            "headers_update": [
                {
                    "identifier": "my_ts_answer_id",
                    "type": "ANSWER",
                    "attributes": [
                        {"name": "name", "value": "Updated throughAPI"}
                    ],
                }
            ],
        }
But I am getting an error like: {'error': {'message': {'debug': {'debug': 'Custom object id feature flag is not enabled'}}}}

Seems like there is a flag that needs to be enabled. I am asking internally why that flag is required. Will update here. Also 
Note
Currently, this API is enabled only for updating the obj_identifier attribute. Only text will be allowed in attribute's value.

It might be that only obj_identifier is allowed to be changed, but you wil require a flag. Will confirm internally and update documentation to make it more clear as well

Thank you so much, updating the documentation would be great 🙂

So after talking internally, I do not think you can change the name for now using this api, it can only be used to change the obj_identifier attribute. I would recommend to use TML to update the name using API if required for now. Though this API can in further releases be used to update name as well.
