I’m trying to route data to Firebase and my route will need to update current status data for each device. Problem I have is that the Firebase (Cloud Firestore) REST API wants PATCH method for updates on a specific field (which is pretty typical behavior), and POST will wipe out all fields for the record I’m updating on Firestore. Any ideas for fix/workaround? I did try x-http-method-override, and Firestore REST API does not support it. ---

Hi @electromw and welcome to the Blues community! It’s not possible today to change the method in a Notehub route. However, the team is aware of this issue and is planning on implementing the feature in an upcoming release. Thanks, Rob ---
