I’m trying to update the is_string value of Time Series from false to true using CDF python class ognite.client.data_classes.time_series.TimeSeriesUpdate. But I’m unable to update it. The value in CDF remains false even though I updated it. Is this an expected behavior of Time Series Update?

Correct, the is_string field is immutable and can only be specified when the Time Series is created.

See the API documentation for info.
