Help with DBConnect Edit a DB Connection or Identity

I am trying to edit DB connections using the REST API, but I am not able to find ways to edit a DB connection. Is the only way via deleting and creating it again?

I am using the REST API knowledge in - https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Splunk-DB-Connect-V3-Automated-Programmatic-cre...

But I am not able to update a DB connection. Is there a way to update it without having to delete it? My end goal is to update an identity, but for that, I am thinking if updating the db connection to point to another identity, then deleting the original identity, then creating a new one, and pointing my db connection to it via REST API.
