Trying to update contacts through wixCRM but fails

When I use the createContact and enter an email that already exists I am given an error.

Uncaught (in promise) permission_denied, details: {"Error":"A member with these communication details (Email / Phone) already exists"} (403)

It would be great if it would instead update the user with the different field values I give it, specially the custom fields which I desperately need to update in a project.

According to API reference it says “newly created or updated contact’s ID when the contact has been created or updated” so I guess I should be able to update a contact.

Code I use is

let email = "existing email in wix CRM";

 let contactInfo = {
 "firstName": "Andreas",
 "lastName": "Kviby",
 "emails": [email],
 "eMailStep": 1, // Custom field
    };
    console.log(contactInfo);

    wixCRM.createContact(contactInfo)
    .then( (contactId) => {
    console.log(contactId);
    } );

Is there any other solution to update information from code?

Hello Andreas, one year later I can confirm it does not work as described in the api. Did you find any solution to this?
