Help Needed: API to Move Discovered Instances of Device Data Source to Default Group

The same request from the portal (UIv3) is calling the REST endpoint used in my code, and the result is the same—the instance is not moved to the default group, even though a 200 response is received.

However, after the portal switched to UIv4, the request is now handled by "PATCH /santaba/rest/dataSourceInstances HTTP/2". While I'm unsure about the exact REST API call it is making, instances are being successfully moved.

If you click on that entry in the Network tab, there will be a Request (and Response) tab that should show you the full details. Turning on "raw" may make it easier to read.

    I checked, and the request payload differs between UIv3 (which matches REST API v3) and UIv4. The UIv4 request payload follows below format, with the header set to X-version: 4. However, I can't find the REST API documentation for that version yet. 😞 (It hasn't been published.)

    { "data": { "allIds": [ { "id": "<INSTANCE_ID>", "model": "dataSourceInstances" } ], "byId": { "dataSourceInstances": { "<INSTANCE_ID>": { "id": "<INSTANCE_ID>", "model": "dataSourceInstances", "dataSourceInstanceGroupId": { "id": "<DEVICE_DATASOURCE_DEFAULT_GROUP_ID>", "model": "dataSourceInstanceGroups" } } } } } }
