Product images not updating with replace operation in the PATCH

[chrismshea]

Issue

When updating products using the job productFeedSP images are not updating when current products do not contain an image. To get around this we can update the operation to add for the thumbnail_url in the PATCH request.

Solution

Send add as the operation instead of replace for the thumbnail_url path.

Example working PATCH

[
    {
        "op": "replace",
        "ids": [
            1332068
        ],
        "path": "/sku",
        "value": "monthly_service_444"
    },
    {
        "op": "replace",
        "ids": [
            1332068
        ],
        "path": "/name",
        "value": "Monthly Service"
    },
    {
        "op": "replace",
