Feature request: WP-CLI reindexing for single post type

[pawelkmpt]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have thousands posts if custom post type which got featured image added via delayed Action Scheduler script. It turned out using set_post_thumbnail() does not refresh Yoast indexable. Now, og:image tags are not being added as image value is missing from indexable table.

Posts need reindexing but there's no quick way to do it via command line.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to reindex all post of custom post type but avoid reindexing the whole site which contains thousands of posts. So additional parameter --post-type could be utilized:

wp yoast index --post-type=<custom-post-type-name>

Why do you think this feature is something we should consider for the Yoast SEO plugins?

It'll make developers life easier.
