How do I update the field "ecom_visibility" via the Square API?

Questions
1

I am using the Square API mostly to enable/disable store items based on availability in a third party system. I remove or add the present at location property.

I am also running the square online store and need to flag the items as available/unavailable as well. How do I change the “ecom_visibility” property using the .NET SDK?

Currently the ecom fields are read only and aren’t documented even though they are returned in the API response.

When will this become available? It is kind of pointless to use the API and turn of items in the POS system but not in the online shop.

Unfortunately, we don’t have public roadmaps for new features or functionality for when this would be available. We’re constantly working to improve our products and services based on the feedback we receive from customers. I’ll be sure to share this with the appropriate team.

It’s been 3 years. Why is this still not in the API response?
