Create or update custom properties for an enterprise

Creates new or updates existing custom properties defined for an enterprise in a batch.

If the property already exists, the existing property will be replaced with the new values. Missing optional values will fall back to default values, previous values will be overwritten. E.g. if a property exists with values_editable_by: org_and_repo_actors and it's updated without specifying values_editable_by, it will be updated to default value org_actors.

To use this endpoint, the authenticated user must be an administrator for the enterprise.
