Hey Morten,

It seems the dataElement endpoint does not allow the aggregationType to be
changed?

Sending a PUT payload of the object with the aggregationType set to
'AVERAGE' from 'SUM' returns successfully. It does however not update the
value correctly.

Is this intended? Is one not supposed to change the aggregateType?

Regards,

Mark
