In the documentation for partialUpdateObjects it is mentioned autoGenerateObjectIDIfNotExist as a parameter. When I tried to use it throws the error

    const obj = {} //without objectID
    
    index
    .partialUpdateObject(obj, {
    //   createIfNotExists: true,
      autoGenerateObjectIDIfNotExist: true
    }).then((objectID)=>{
        console.log(objectID)
    }).catch((e) => {
        console.log(e)
    })

{
  name: 'ApiError',
  message: 'Invalid object ' +
    'attributes:autoGenerateObjectIDIfNotExist ' +
    'near line:1 column:166',
  status: 400,
  transporterStackTrace: [
    {
      request: [Object],
      response: [Object],
      host: [Object],
      triesLeft: 3
    }
  ]
}

I'm I doing something wrong here Thanks

I checked the code, and think the documentation is wrong, and partialUpdate doesn't support autoGenerate. Note that it's in general not a good idea to have no handle of what the objectID for a record is, as that means you won't be able to update it in the future, and will have to rely on full index updates, which are less efficient

Thanks I was playing around with the API when I stumbled upon this. Thought I did something wrong.
