Hi, currently building an api to replace our old vanilla PHP back end using DRF. Any suggestions on how to implement a view that would allow a PUT request with an array of objects that would replace/update (doesnt matter which) the existing database objects? Ive found a number of related things like ListSerializers and generics.UpdateAPIView but none of them have behaved well in practice.
Thanks!

Why they didn't work well?

Using this as a reference, https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/serializers/#customizing-multiple-update, can you share specifically how you attempted to implement a solution with the ListSerializer?
