Edit

Turn name and value entries into an object

POST/v1/edit/json/from_entries

Turns a list of objects with a name field and a value field into one object. A duplicate name, a missing field or a name that is not text is refused with the position of the entry, because it would overwrite or lose a value.

400	The body respects the operation schema, but the use case rejected it. Each problem is one ApiError entry
413	The request is larger than the request size limit of the API allows
422	The body does not respect the operation schema. Each problem is one ApiError entry with the code validation_error
500	Something failed inside the server and was not an input problem. The same envelope, errors may be empty
