How to add version to existing asset without creating a new one via API

[kanstantsin.nalobin]

I'm trying to add a new version of the shot and i'm using the documentation: https://ftrack-python-api.rtd.ftrack.com/en/stable/example/publishing.html

Do I understand correctly that in those documents is stated that one should create an asset and after that add a new version?

Because by doing so I've got a duplication error in case the asset is already created.

Is there a way to add version to existing asset without creating a new one via API?

I'm quite new to this so maybe I've just got something wrong.

Hi Kanstantsin,

If you get a duplicate record error, you have created another asset with the same name connected to the same parent. If you intend to create a new version of the same asset, you should instead load the existing asset and attach your new version to that.

I'm attaching a Jupyter notebook that hopefully explains how to do that.
