Describe the feature:
The
_watcher
API provides a mechanism for creating and updating watches (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.7/watcher-api.html). After a watch has been created this endpoint can be used to update the watch in its entirety.However, if we have watch with a webhook action that contains a redacted password field:
users must re-enter the password even if they only want to update the watch schedule (something unrelated to actions), see the effect of this in Kibana here: elastic/kibana#61781.
It would be great if there were a way to update a watch in a more piecemeal fashion - a way to do partial updates.
