How do I update advanced settings via Kibana API?

Elastic Stack Kibana

Hi,

I want to know if there is a supported way to update Kibana Advanced Settings (specifically the defaultRoute attribute) using an API.

I’m trying to automate this through Jenkins so that each Kibana space gets a custom landing dashboard without manually changing it in:

Stack Management → Advanced Settings → defaultRoute
