Method: POST

The exact request to send here depends on the specific meta field type that is updated, so each field type is documented as a separate request. The meta field type does not need to be passed in a meta field type as the type is inferred based on the target field.
All the requests go to the same endpoint, and requests can be bulked by passing multiple updates in the updates array.
If the response is successful, a status code of 204 No Content status code is returned.
