Does the API work for updating a Collector's customProperties? (V1) | Product Discussions

I have some code that snags the custom properties from a collector (/setting/collectors) and then I'm updating or adding one, and then I use /setting/collectors with the collector ID to make an update. And my code works perfectly if I update the description and put the description as the patchFields. I can update my description to "MEH" or whatever. But as soon as I try to set the customProperties, nothing happens. The data is just like it needs to be. I even get a response of 200. So I can update description but not customProperties. I wonder if I'm doing it right, maybe you cant update them in bulk (total replace)? Any thoughts? Code fragment below. if c_update_required == True: print ("Update REQUIRED") patch_data = '{\'customProperties\': ' + str(new_collector_properties) + '}' #patch_data = '{"description":"' + 'MEH' + '"}' http_verb ='PATCH' print (patch_data) resource_path = '/setting/collectors/'+collector_id query_params ='?patchFields=customProperties' #query_params ='?patchFields=description' url = 'https://'+ Company +'.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + resource_path + query_params epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000)) requestVars = http_verb + epoch + patch_data + resource_path hmac1 = hmac.new(AccessKey.encode(),msg=requestVars.encode(),digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest() signature = base64.b64encode(hmac1.encode()) auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + signature.decode() + ':' + epoch headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth} patch_response = lm_session.patch(url, data=patch_data, headers=headers) if patch_response.ok: print("Success") Oh and below you can see the customProperties I get back when snagging it, and what I have it set to when I try to set it. I'm sure its right. BUT I am completely stumped. Success 200. No change. GET DATA: customProperties': [{'name': 'bar', 'value': 'Melvin NoName'}, {'name': 'foo', 'value': '123'}] PATCH DATA: 'customProperties': [{'name': 'bar', 'value': 'Melvin NoName'}, {'name': 'foo', 'value': '123'}, {'name': 'mynew.clientID', 'value': '1037524379'}] Any ideas? Description works, customProperties does nothing, but both give status 200.
