Is there a way to block an upsert based on a key? I’m adding

updated_at_unix

in my document schema, and I’d love it if typesense would just know not to upsert the request if the ‘new’ update has an older

updated_at_unix

value.

You can update based on a condition: https://typesense.org/docs/26.0/api/documents.html#update-by-query

oh…do i understand correctly that if my document has an

id

I still need the

filter_by

to include the

id:={myDocument.id}?;

No, if your document has an ID, then you can use the batch import endpoint to just send the docs with the id field and fields that need to be updated

oh i see…but I want to handle the case where I only want to update the record, if the document I’m trying to put in the db has a value of the updated_at_unix field value that is greater than the one already existing in the DB, but I only want it to be for that one record. I’m guessing then it’s more performant to first get the record and then upsert?
