Hi @scharada

In a project I'm involved in, we're using it when importing products from a webshop to a local database. When importing a product, we don't know beforehand if it already exists in the database. If it doesn't exist, we want to insert it. If it already exists, we want to know which product category it belongs to:

var upsertedProduct = await _productRepository.UpdateOrInsertOneAsync(
	filter: x => x.Id == newProduct.Id || x.Sku == newProduct.Sku,
	update: x => x
		.Set(y => y.DescriptionHtml, newProduct.DescriptionHtml)
		.Set(y => y.Sku, newProduct.Sku)
                /* set more fields */,
	entityToInsertIfNoMatch: newProduct,
	returnProjection: x => new MatchedProduct(x.Id, x.ProductCategoryId)
