2.2 release missing table.update_field

[svonava]

Hi all - thank you for the amazing work on pyairtable!

I noticed that in the roadmap* you mentioned that the release 2.2 contains table.update_field() but I can't see it in the code (checked both 2.2.0 and 2.2.1): https://github.com/gtalarico/pyairtable/blob/2.2.1/pyairtable/api/table.py

Probably just a typo in the milestone definition?

Thank you for the wonderful tool!

Yes, fair point, the roadmap document isn't necessarily getting updated with the details of API implementation, it's more of a todo list. In this case, modifying an existing field is done through the .save() method on the schema definition objects:

>>> schema = table.schema()
>>> schema.name = "Renamed Table"
>>> schema.save()
>>> field = schema.field("Name")
>>> field.name = "Label"
>>> field.description = "The primary field on the table"
>>> field.save()
