Updating Dynamic Zones via REST API no longer works

[spyderdsn]

• Strapi version: v5
• Database: MySQL

Describe the bug

Updating dynamic zones via REST API does not work. Tried multiple approaches:

• sending id & documentId
• not sending id & documentId
• using connect, disconnect or set
• sending the entire array back
• sending partial array back

      }
   }
}

Steps to reproduce the behavior

use Postman or Insomnia to send the payload.

@spyderdsn You have to add __component: 'compo.type' to the assets so that the dynamic zone knows what component you want to create or update this seems to be a documentation issue so will ask somone to move this issue to the docs repo since this is not documented for API or DocumentService.

Thanks @Boegie19 I tried this, got 200 OK and responded with no changes. If I remove id I get a validation error.

Please provide a better example here for the time being. Thanks
