My organization would like our teams to start using the work type "Defect".  Is there a way to add this work type to all the active schemes?

The Jira Cloud REST API to use is at
https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-type-schemes/#api-rest-api-3-issuetypescheme-issuetypeschemeid-put

GET /rest/api/3/issuetypescheme

PUT /rest/api/3/issuetypescheme

The harder piece of work is to change all existing Bug issues to Defect, and then to remove Bug from all those work type schemes
