Update the user-defined metadata of an asset

This method updates the user-defined metadata of the specified asset. The platform merges your changes with the existing metadata:

A key with a value creates or replaces that key.
A key set to null deletes that key.
A key set to an empty string ("") is ignored.
A key you omit from the request keeps its current value.

To replace all metadata in a single call, use the PUT method of the /assets/{asset_id}/user-metadata endpoint instead.
