Blueprint API - If courses are associated through the API, should they automatically sync?

Question

Blueprint Courses - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation

PUT /api/v1/courses/:course_id/blueprint_templates/:template_id/update_associations

When adding courses to associate, the call doesn't automatically seem to sync the added courses. Is it meant to automatically sync, or is the migrations call required immediately afterwards to sync?

POST /api/v1/courses/:course_id/blueprint_templates/:template_id/migrations

Not that I know of. I haven't tested in a while to see if the behavior has changed.

I created an idea - Blueprint API should behave the same as the Blueprint tool

I think after the initial association through the API, the course(s) do need to be synced for the first time, otherwise, in the UI, there seems to be no way to sync/update associations.

When associating courses initially, through the UI, they do sync automatically and then if changes are made in the Blueprint template, the option is there to sync changes.

When associating the courses through the API, without immediately syncing afterwards, it doesn't seem to matter how many changes are made in the template, the option to sync is not available. This seems a little buggy to me.
