Hi, how do you update a config from the CLI exactly ? For example if I run the command below:

> ziti edge show config hrm-intercept-config

```auto
{
    "addresses": [
        "hrm.uni"
    ],
    "portRanges": [
        {
            "high": 8200,
            "low": 8200
        }
    ],
    "protocols": [
        "tcp",
        "udp"
    ]
}

```

How do I update that output with the (im assuming) command

> ziti edge update identity-configs hrm-intercept-config

" to remove "udp" from above ?

use `-d`. the cli output "should" help

```auto
ziti edge update config hrm-intercept-config -d '{"addresses":["hrm.uni"],"portRanges":[{"high":8200,"low":8200}],"protocols":["tcp"]}'

```

```auto
$ ziti edge update config --help
