Does this insert variables that don't exist, or only update?

I could look through the code, but this information is missing from the readme, and would be good to know :)

Somtimes its useful to throw if it doesn't exist, sometimes useful to insert new data :)

Hey @SoylentGraham

does an upsert (create or update) the given key
also supports multiple levels

I can add an optional parameter to give more control (default shall be validateExists: false)

- name: Update my-file.json description
  uses: jossef/action-set-json-field@v1
  with:
    file: my-file.json
    field: description
    value: my custom data
    validateExists: true

Ah cool, good to know! Rather than write our own, we're trying to work if theres some good way to make syntax so we can update multiple fields in one go as this starts to get quite verbose to set say 4 keys in a single file. Maybe something akin to object.assign(), but thats another topic
