Assign user to groups on user update

I know that you can assign a user to groups on creation, e.g.

curl -v -X POST \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: SSWS ${api_token}" \
-d '{
  "profile": {
    "firstName": "Isaac",
    "lastName": "Brock",
    "email": "isaac.brock@example.com",
    "login": "isaac.brock@example.com",
    "mobilePhone": "555-415-1337"
  },
  "groupIds": [
    "00g1emaKYZTWRYYRRTSK",
    "00garwpuyxHaWOkdV0g4"
  ]
}' "https://${yourOktaDomain}/api/v1/users?activate=false"

But is there any way to do the same thing on user update? From the documentation it seems like you have to add user to group/remove user from group separately, but I’d like to be able to do it in the same operation as updating the profile. Something like:

curl -v -X POST \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: SSWS ${api_token}" \
-d '{
  "profile": {
    "firstName": "Isaac",
    "email": "isaac.brock@update.example.com",
    "mobilePhone": "555-415-1337"
  },
  "groupIds": [
    "00g1emaKYZTWRYYRRTSK",
    "00garwpuyxHaWOkdV0g4"
  ]
}' "https://${yourOktaDomain}/api/v1/users/00ub0oNGTSWTBKOLGLNR"

Thanks!

Any updates on the above? Having the same issue. Want to update user’s groups, but should add and remove them one by one. As result - very bad performance. Can be 20 separate requests just to update user groups
