Add "UPDATE" public API endpoint for Test runs

Description:
Currently, public API allows creating new test runs but does _not_ support updating an existing one.
- An ability to add more test cases to an ongoing test run instead of creating a new one.
Use Case:
- For teams that automate the process of creating a manual test run using public API, this endpoint will enable test cases to be updated without having to create a new test run.
- To update the description of a test run, post run's creation.

Manjunatha Reddy Is there a plan to add support for updating the list of cases in a test run? This would be very helpful for our automation that we have built to generate a test run for a release based linking between Jira tickets and Qase tests.

Hello, Jen Nelson,
Unfortunately, option in this endpoint for editing cases in an active test run is not planned due to (I could be wrong here, but I suppose) the complexity of managing existing results.
For example, if you change the list of cases mid-run, how should the system handle the results already recorded for the cases that are removed?
To help us understand your need and discuss it with the team, could you share:
Your preference for how the system should handle existing results when cases are edited.
More details on where this case-editing ability fits into your workflow.
I will pass your feedback on to the team. Thank you :)

Hello everyone,
We now have an Update endpoint available for test runs. This allows you to update a test run’s title or description after it has been created.
However, updating the list of cases in a test run is not yet supported.
Another endpoint which allows linking the test run to external issues, is also added.
Thank you for your post and upvotes!
