fix: Support generic updater

[regseb]

Thank you for opening a Pull Request! Before submitting your PR, there are a few things you can do to make sure it goes smoothly:

• Make sure to open an issue as a bug/issue before writing your code! That way we can discuss the change, evaluate designs, and agree on the general idea
• Ensure the tests and linter pass
• Code coverage does not decrease (if any source code was changed)
• Appropriate docs were updated (if necessary)

Fixes #2205 🦕

Also addresses #2125. It might be nice to have a glob: true example as well.

We can adjust the json schema definition in a follow-up PR.
