modify existing Entry with check-out enabled

Hi,

please help me to solve this issue,

i got username/password-entries with check-out enabled.
they get created by script using a template.

when running the script on existing entries to check if they need to be updated, my script says: "The session 'xyz' requires a check out"
after reaching the timeout it does nothing on this entry.

how to solve this issue?

example entry i want to modify by script:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ArrayOfConnection>
<Connection>
<ConnectionType>Credential</ConnectionType>
<CreatedBy>me</CreatedBy>
<CreationDateTime>2020-10-29T15:19:05</CreationDateTime>
