Summary

Updated documentation for the 'updateSingleCardinalityProperties' parameter to indicate it is now supported for openCypher loads and clarified how it controls property updates.

Security assessment

The changes clarify functionality of a data loading parameter but contain no evidence of addressing vulnerabilities. The update enables property value updates during loading which could impact data integrity if misused, but doesn't reference security fixes or vulnerabilities.

-  * The `updateSingleCardinalityProperties` parameter is not supported for openCypher loads because all openCypher properties have single cardinality.

+    * By default, the loader does not update property values of an existing node or relationship in the database if it encounters load data having the ID of the existing node or relationship. However, it does load node labels and properties that are not present in the existing node or relationship. To update existing property values, set `updateSingleCardinalityProperties` to `"TRUE"`.
