1. What is the issue? Please be detailed.
I'm trying to update a specific instance in a repeat group of a submission via ODK Central API through a PUT request. Is such a functionality available. Is it possibe to say delete instance 1 of 5 within one submission? Thx

Currently the way to do this would be to download the raw submission (https://docs.getodk.org/central-api-submission-management/#retrieving-submission-xml), modify it as you wish, then submitting the edited version as an update (https://docs.getodk.org/central-api-submission-management/#updating-submission-data). Does that meet your needs? How do you determine which repeat instance to delete?
