        Request body for bulk create/update/delete operations.

        Operations are applied in request order, each in its own transaction,
        and `results[i]` describes `operations[i]`. A failed operation is
        rolled back whole and does not stop the ones after it.
      required:
        - operations
      properties:
        operations:
          type: array
          maxItems: 100

                description: Entity ID. Required for `update` and `delete` actions.
              data:
                type: object
                description: >
                  Entity-specific fields. Required for `create` and `update`
                  actions.

                  Session create supports `is_abstract` (boolean, default
                  false).

                  `is_abstract` cannot be changed on update.


                  `data` takes the same fields as the matching single-record

                  create/update endpoint, including `custom_fields` and

                  `translated_fields`. A `translated_fields` entry for a

                  language the event has not enabled fails that operation with

                  `400` and rolls it back — it is no longer accepted and

                  discarded.


                  `custom_fields` is honoured on the contacts, sessions,

                  exhibitors and sponsors bulk endpoints. An unknown

                  `internal_name`, a value of the wrong type, or a field owned

                  by an integration fails **that operation only** — the

                  operations around it in the same batch still commit.


                  **Exception — draft sessions.** `POST

                  /event/{eventId}/agenda-drafts/{draftId}/sessions/bulk` does

                  not accept `custom_fields`, and neither does its

                  single-record sibling. A draft session is a scheduling

                  placement of an existing session inside a draft agenda, not a

                  record of its own, so it has no custom fields to write. Set

                  custom fields on the underlying session through

                  `/event/{eventId}/sessions`.

                  Whether this individual operation succeeded or failed.

                  Most bulk endpoints report `success` or `error`. The contacts
                  bulk endpoint instead names the outcome: `created`,
                  `associated` (the email already existed in the organization
                  and was linked to this event), `updated`, `deleted`, or
                  `error`. Treat anything other than `error` as a success.

                  An object with `code` and `message` on most bulk endpoints.
                  On the contacts bulk endpoint `error` is a plain string and
                  the code is returned alongside it as `error_code`; that
                  difference is longstanding and is kept so existing callers
                  reading the string keep working.

                          `dropdown` field: every value the field accepts,
                          one array entry per option, in the field's option
                          order. An option label can itself contain a comma
                          (`"Banana, Chocolate"`), so read this array rather
                          than splitting the list in `message`. Absent on
                          every other error.
