​
Create or Update (PUT)

Use PUT /v1/dataQuality/testSuites instead of POST to perform an upsert. If a test suite with the same name already exists, it will be updated; otherwise, a new test suite is created. The request body is the same as POST. 
curl -X PUT "{base_url}/api/v1/dataQuality/testSuites" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ ... same body as POST ... }'
PUT will not return a 409 conflict error if the entity already exists — it will update the existing entity instead.
