Creating Collector Groups via API

Is it not possible to add/create custom properties in Collector groups via the API?

I set it manually and fetch the properties to verify how I should put it in. I end up with a structure like this
  

collectorbody = {"name": "Test Group", "description": "Test group for automation",
                 "custom_properties": [{"name": "servicenow.companyid", "value": "ACME001"}]}


But when I create the group, it doesn't seem to take the property.
I have also tried to update the collector group after the fact and that still doesn't appear to work.

    Looking at the v2 documentation it looks like it should be "customProperties" without an underscore.

    https://www.logicmonitor.com/swagger-ui-master/dist/#/Collector Groups/addCollectorGroup 

    {
  "autoBalance": "string",
  "customProperties": [
    {
      "name": "addr",
      "value": "127.0.0.1"
    }
  ],
  "name": "Collector (Network Devices)",
  "autoBalanceInstanceCountThreshold": 0,
  "autoBalanceStrategy": "string",
  "description": "Group for collectors dedicated to Network Devices"
}

    Well nevermind, even tho the python SDK returns it as custom_properties, in the payload it is customProperties.

    Yeah i was working off of the output from the SDK, which puts it as custom_properties. Saw the issue just as you posted lol.
