Hi 👋 I am testing out the API endpoint to create multiple identities (

PATCH /admin/identities

). I notice that in case an identity with the given email already exists, the API rejects the request with

409

. This is normally the expected behaviour if I’m creating a single identity, but in case of multiple ones I was expecting the API to “gather” the errors and return them in bulk as described here: https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/manage-identities/import-user-accounts-identities#errors-during-bulk-import Can you clarify this? Thanks 🤗

I'm not sure about the overall status code of the response, did you check whether the body matches the example from the documentation?

Yes, the payload is fine. If I send a request with “unique” emails everything works fine. It’s just in the case of an existing email.

ok in that case I think it is expected behavior so that you notice when some identity failed to import

In the docs (Errors during bulk import) it explicitly says

Failure to import an identity will not fail the whole bulk import.

and the example response contains in fact a

409

error case. That’s where my confusion is.

hm yeah the operation probably did succeed, but the status code is still 409

Good morning 👋 I just tried again and now it’s working as expected. Did something change or were you able to fix that? Thanks

no nothing changed

I don’t have the logs from yesterday…do you want to inspect the requests from today?

a rough timeframe and request host/path are probably sufficient

The timeframe would be yesterday. I can send you the project ID if it helps (I was testing it locally using the tunnel). Today I couldn’t reproduce the issue so far.
