Describe the bug

As per API docs on https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/api#tag/identity/operation/patchIdentity, there is list of jsonpatch available op, stated as

The operation to be performed. One of "add", "remove", "replace", "move", "copy", or "test".

But I can't actually do "move", "copy", or "test",
just borrowing from https://jsonpatch.com/

curl --location --request PATCH 'http://localhost:4434/admin/identities/a04e0bf8-fb7f-463a-a567-be345458df0c' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--data '[
{ "op": "move", "from": "/biscuits/0", "path": "/best_biscuit" }
]'

response

{
    "error": {
        "code": 400,
        "status": "Bad Request",
        "reason": "An error occured when applying the JSON patch",
        "message": "unsupported operation: move"
    }
}

Looking at the code, the error thrown possibly from this

kratos/identity/handler.go

Lines 869 to 877 in 4f4394c

	if err := jsonx.ApplyJSONPatch(requestBody, &patchedIdentity, "/id", "/stateChangedAt", "/credentials"); err != nil {
	h.r.Writer().WriteError(w, r, errors.WithStack(
	herodot.
	ErrBadRequest.
	WithReasonf("An error occured when applying the JSON patch").
	WithErrorf("%v", err).
	WithWrap(err),
	))
	return

and I notice that it use ory/x/jsonx, from which I found

https://github.com/ory/x/blob/52f7d778c2eea02e3e5bcf638c590c533127baa8/jsonx/patch.go#L17-L21

So at least for now I think the documentation is wrong

Reproducing the bug

From docker quickstart,

1. create and identity
2. do this curl

curl --location --request PATCH 'http://localhost:4434/admin/identities/a04e0bf8-fb7f-463a-a567-be345458df0c' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--data '[
{ "op": "move", "from": "/biscuits/0", "path": "/best_biscuit" }
]'

Having the same issue.

What's the use case for using those operations? Isn't it easier and more stable to fetch the identity and then apply a replace operation?

[renom]

I'm trying to migrate schemas with copy and move ops.
I need to rename some fields.
Trying to do that with Postman requests.
Without copy and move, I'll have to copy and paste values or write a client (migrator tool).
