ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE allows you to modify the existing row that conflicted with the row being inserted, but it won't allow you to do change a row to resolve a conflict, and then insert it.

Unfortunately, that is exactly what I need to do, I need to modify the data on the 2nd request so that it also gets inserted.
This is a business requirement. I need to insert all of the data, including the ones with conflicts
