Updating product and product metafields with single PUT request

Retired Boards Appdev Metafields

I would have given up were it not for this thread, which seems to indicate updating product metafields with PUT is possible: https://ecommerce.shopify.com/c/shopify-apis-and-technology/t/product-variant-metafields-are-not-being-updated-on-a-put-193577 (see image for pullquote).

Below is a copy of the failing JSON (which succeeds if the metafields are removed). Again this works on POST, but not PUT.
