Update KPI

Update one or more fields of a KPI definition. Only send the fields you want to change.
For select KPIs: when you send options, the array replaces the current options entirely. Include existing option ids to keep them (optionally renaming/reordering); omit an id to delete that option. New options (without id) are created.
