edit id for google play - notes about setting update priority

When uploading an app to google play store, there was a request from the team whether we can make some updates mandatory and some non-mandatory.

Do we have any release priority setting in play store console for mandatory or non-mandatory?

"To determine priority, Google Play uses an integer value between 0 and 5, with 0 being the default and 5 being the highest priority. To set the priority for an update, use the inAppUpdatePriority field under Edits.tracks.releases in the Google Play Developer API. All newly-added versions in the release are considered to be the same priority as the release. Priority can only be set when rolling out a new release and cannot be changed later."

To get the edit identifier:

Using the Google Play API seems to be a bit complicated, for setting the update priority.
