Create an employee & Update an employee limitations

Hello,

We are currently trying to automate some Personio profile creation through our form which will then utilise Personio API to create employees.

Did I understand right that currently it is not possible to do the following via Personio API:

Contract type: It is not possible to create new employee profile using Personio API with type "external" and all new employee requests are created as "internal" by default?

Cost Center: It is not possible to update or add Cost center information to new or existing employees using the Personio API?

Contract end date: It is not possible currently to edit or set Contract end date for existing or new employees via Personio API?

If the Contract type example especially is true then this is quite big limiter since this basically means that for this use case it is impossible to create this process since we cannot create external employees for example first as "internal" type and then chance it back since this can have some security implications when accounts are automatically provisioned to other systems and some access to "external" type employees needs to be restricted and they can't be considered as "internal" type at any point.
