Upsert entities

The API uses type for Database and app for Space. See Terminology.

Creates Entity (or Entities) if no existing duplicate is found (based on the Conflict Field); otherwise, it either skips creating or updates the existing duplicate, depending on the Conflict Action.
Setting the fibery/id Field for Entities is mandatory to apply the Conflict Action when a duplicate is found.
The Conflict Field can be of type: fibery/text, fibery/int, or fibery/date


Conflict Action	Description
`skip-create`	do not create Entity if a Duplicate was found
`update-latest`	updates the Duplicate found with all fields from the Entity to be created, excluding platform fields (`fibery/id`, `fibery/public-id`, `fibery/rank`, `fibery/creation-date`). If more than one Duplicate is found, the Duplicate with the latest `fibery/creation-date` is selected for updating.

If a batch of Entities is passed to the command and it contains Duplicates, the following action is taken:

skip-create: Uses the first found Duplicate in the batch.
update-latest: Uses the last found Duplicate in the batch.

Duplicate matching rules:

NULL values are not considered equal. An entity with a NULL Conflict Field value is not considered a Duplicate of another entity with a NULL value.
Text Field comparisons are case-sensitive.

The result is an array of created Entities or resolved Conflicts, in the order of the Entities. The array contents are determined as follows:

Created: If an Entity was created, the array contains the new Entity’s information with create action.
Skipped: If an Entity was not created because skip-create was applied to a found Duplicate, the array contains a resolved Conflict with skip-create action.
Updated: If an Entity was used to update a found Duplicate due to update-latest, the array contains a resolved Conflict with update-latest action.
Batch Duplicate handling: If an Entity was ignored due to a Duplicate found within the same batch of Entities, the array contains a resolved Conflict with prefer-duplicate-found-in-the-batch action. This action uses the Duplicate entity (D) and resolves it by applying the specified Conflict Action later:
If no Conflict is found for D, the array contains the created Entity D info with create action.
If a Conflict is found for D and resolved with skip-create, the array contains a resolved Conflict with skip-create action.
If a Conflict is found for D and resolved with update-latest, the array contains a resolved Conflict with update-latest action.
