The following endpoints are used by our API reporters to publish test results.

https://developers.qase.io/reference/create-result#/ and https://developers.qase.io/reference/create-result-bulk#/

These endpoints have a parameter to enable creation of new defects for all negative results, but as tests are re-run, most of the time their failure can be attributed to existing defects.

Requesting an option in these endpoints to allow linking of the result with an existing defect instead of creating a new defect. This is currently possible via the App UI.
