Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is no endpoint for PATCHING text timeseries. You would end up POST the same value. But ideally we are doing a PATCH because the field already exists and we want to distinguish at the METHOD what is being done to the data.

Describe the solution you'd like
Create a PATCH endpoint that allows you to do things like change one ID to another and also be able to update the standard-text string optionally.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Continue to use the POST endpoint and set fail-if-exists to False
