Change to the observable "promote" API

• Deprecated in: OpenCTI 6.2
• Removed in: OpenCTI 6.8

Description of changes

The API calls that promote an Observable to Indicator now return the created Indicator instead of the original Observable.

GraphQL API

• Mutation StixCyberObservableEditMutations.promote is now deprecated
• New Mutation StixCyberObservableEditMutations.promoteToIndicator introduced

Client-Python API

• Client-python method client.stix_cyber_observable.promote_to_indicator is now deprecated
• New Client-python method client.stix_cyber_observable.promote_to_indicator_v2 introduced

Migration guide

If you are using custom scripts that make use of the deprecated API methods, please update these scripts.

The changes are straightforward: if you are using the return value of the method, you should now expect the new Indicator instead of the Observable being promoted; adapt your code accordingly.
