Language_override

I want to use the REST API to update a contact's language_override, but it seems that it’s not working. Can I update a contact’s language_override using the API: PUT https://api.intercom.io/contacts/:contactId?

​@robin.nguyen I know it seems counter intuitive but you can’t. I guess you can vote for it here (I’ll do it as well), but in the meantime, the best way would be to create another attribute (say custom_language) and to use this custom_language as a branch in a workflow to then apply a “language override” action.
