Is it possible to create or update products via the API?
The CreateProductInput referenced in `product_create`does not contain the assembly item field. Setting up assembly items in the UI requires saving first, then updating. The `product_update` mutation also doesn’t seem to allow setting an assembly item (or kit for that matter).
But the API does have `work_order_create` to accept a AssemblySKUType. There are also AssemblyMapType and related map edges/nodes.
Anyone gone down this road?
Alternatively, has anyone done any bulk add/update to bring in assembly items?
