Question:
Is there a way to patch to an entity using wildcards or list of servicepaths

Description:
Im trying to update an entity using the PATCH /v2/entities/id/attrs endpoint. The service of the id is known; however, the servicepath is not.

My first attempt was to leave the header empty or rather not send it at all. For a GET query, this does the job right, however for a PATCH, this returns me a 200. First question, is this the expected behavior?

Second try was to use a wildcard. I know that my entity is at SP /automatization/<something>. I tried PATCHing to /automatization/# and got a 204, but the entity did not change.

My last try was to use a list of known SPs: I know the entity I want is in one of a number of SPs, so a used a comma separated list as the SP header. Same as above: 204 but no change.

Am I missing something?
