Upload a schema for a single entity. If a schema already exists for a specified entity, it will be replaced by the one you upload.

🚧
Metadata merging behavior
If the new schema is missing metadata properties that are currently set in the existing schema for that entity, those properties will be merged into the new schema. For example, if your current schema has {"metadata": {"com.mixpanel": {"hidden": true}}} and you upload a new schema without "hidden", we will merge "hidden": true to your uploaded schema's metadata. If you want to remove that property, set the value to null.

Adding a schema for User Profiles
To add a schema for your User Profiles, specify the entityType as profile and the name as $user.
