is_primary

boolean

Beta

If this is set to true, the image created will be the primary, or first image of the object referenced by object_id. If the CatalogObject already has a primary CatalogImage, setting this field to true will replace the primary image. If this is set to false and you use the Square API version 2021-12-15 or later, the image id will be appended to the list of image_ids on the object.

With Square API version 2021-12-15 or later, the default value is false. Otherwise, the effective default value is true.
