Entity Service API Atomic Update?

Questions and Answers Strapi Backend

Answering my own question here. There is a way to partial update the list of relations, which avoids the necessity for a full update using entityService.findOne followed by entityService.update.

    await strapi.entityService.update('api::vod.vod', vodId, {
      data: {
        tags: {
          connect: [tag]
        }
      }
    })

connect is part of the REST API, but it also applies to entityService. This single request avoids the potential non-atomic operation problem when making multiple requests.
